Kicking table saw

[cowboy25]

So I have this table saw I use in my workshop I've had it for a few years and recently changed the blade for the first time with a nice Rutland blade after the original one was blunt as anything causing the wood to smoke and taking ages to cut. I also cleaned out the table saw whilst removing the old blade. The problem is I am using it currently to cut cls studs to the desired length for my project and the blade keeps catching/ jumping/ kicking when I use it even though I'm being quite careful to the point I don't want to use it anymore. The blade seemed ok for the first few weeks with no jumping happening  but now not so much. What an I doing wrong? I never really had this problem with my old smoky blade I would have thought a new sharp blade would cause the table saw to kick less.

I would say wrong saw for the job.  You want a chop saw for that.  A table saw is normally used with a fence for cutting a length of timber down to a particular size.

 

The complete lack of a guard over the blade does not inspire confidence.

Stop using it for cutting CLS, and get a cheap chop/mitre saw. 
 

Dangerous as FECK!

For £60 you could throw it away at the end of the job!

And I think there may be a small issue with the dust extraction...

Ah ok I did have a chop saw but thought I could change to a table saw (plus jigsaw)  as a 'do it all saw', didn't realise people didn't use it for what I am currently doing. I don't remember having this problem with my old blade but perhaps I wasn't cutting much cls.

I have the saw located at my workshop entrance so the most dust goes straight outside.

A table saw is for sheet material, or trimming down timbers lengthways, not for cross cutting etc. You'll just hurt yourself or the saw.

 

You'll be able to do mitres etc with a chop (mitre) saw too.
