Never reach behind the saw blade to hold onto the
u
workpiece, remove wood chips or for any other
reason. The clearance between your hand and the rotat-
ing saw blade is too small when you do this.
Only advance the workpiece towards the saw blade
u
when it is running. Otherwise there is a risk of kickback
occurring if the saw blade catches in the workpiece.
Only saw one workpiece at a time. Workpieces placed
u
on top of or alongside each other can cause the saw blade
to jam or the workpieces to move out of place and against
each other when sawing.
Always use the parallel guide or angle guide. This im-
u
proves the cutting accuracy and reduces the possibility of
the saw blade jamming.
