g) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving
knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the
saw blade diameter must match the appropriate
riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be
thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and
the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider
than the thickness of the riving knife.
Safety information for sawing
a) m DANGER: Do not place your hands and
fingers in the sawing area or close to the saw
blade.
A moment of carelessness or a slip could steer
your hand towards the saw blade and result in se-
rious injuries.
b) Only guide the workpiece against the rotation-
al direction of the saw blade or cutting tool.
Guiding the workpiece in the same direction as the
rotational direction of the saw blade above the ta-
ble can lead to the workpiece and your hand being
drawn into the saw blade.
c) When performing longitudinal cuts, never use
the mitre stop to guide the workpiece, and
when transverse cutting with the mitre stop
never additionally use the parallel stop for lon-
gitudinal adjustment. Simultaneously guiding
the workpiece with the parallel stop and mitre stop
increases the probability that the saw blade will
jam and kickback will result.
d) When performing longitudinal cuts, always
apply the feed force to the workpiece between
the stop rail and the saw blade. Use a push rod
if the distance between the stop rail and saw
blade is less than 150 mm, and a push block if
the distance is less than 50 mm.
This type of working aid ensures that your hands
remain a safe distance from the saw blade.
e) Only use the push rod provided by the manu-
facturer, or a push rod that has been produced
in accordance with instructions.
The push rod ensures a sufficient distance be-
tween the hand and saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or partially sawn push
rod.
A damaged push rod may break and lead to your
hand running into the saw blade.

g) Never work "freehand". Always use the paral-
lel stop or the mitre stop to position and guide
the workpiece. "Freehand" means supporting
or guiding the workpiece with the hands, rath-
er than using the parallel stop or mitre stop.
Free-handed sawing leads to incorrect alignment,
jamming and kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a turning saw
blade. Reaching for a workpiece can lead to acci-
dental contact with the rotating saw blade.
i) Support long and/or wide workpieces at the
rear and/or side of the saw table, so that they
remain horizontal. Long and/or wide workpieces
tend to tilt at the edge of the saw table; this leads
to a loss of control, jamming of the saw blade and
kickback.
j) Guide the workpiece steadily and evenly. Do
not bend or twist the workpiece. If the saw
blade jams, switch off the electric tool imme-
diately, unplug the mains plug and remedy the
cause of the jam.
If the saw blade is jammed by the workpiece, this
can lead to kickback or block the motor.
k) Do not remove partially sawn material whilst
the saw is running. Partially sawn material can
stick between the saw blade and stop rail or in the
protective cover, and may draw your fingers into
the saw blade during removal. Switch the saw off
and wait until the saw blade has come to a stand-
still, before removing the material.
l) For longitudinal cuts on workpieces that are
thinner than 2 mm, use an additional parallel
stop that is in contact with the table surface.
Thin workpieces can wedge under the parallel
stop and lead to kickback.
Kickback - causes and corresponding safety in-
structions
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece to a
catching or jamming saw blade, or a cut created in the
workpiece at an angle to the saw blade, or if part of the
workpiece becomes jammed between the saw blade
and the parallel stop, or another stationary object.
In the majority of cases, with kickback the workpiece is
caught by the rear part of the saw blade, lifted off the
saw table and thrust in the direction of the operator.
Kickback is the result of incorrect or deficient use of
the circular table saw. It can be prevented by suitable
precautionary measures, as described in the following.
