e) Check the cursor alignment before you cut.
f) Ensure that the saw blade will not contact
the edge guide during the cut.
g) Do not attempt a cut when any part of the Rip-Cut
sled interferes with the operation of the saw blade guard.
h) Fully support both the workpiece and the cutoff piece
to prevent binding and kickback.
i) Adjust the depth of cut so the saw blade protrudes
" [3mm] through the workpiece during the cut.

j) Keep your hands away from the saw blade during
operation. Do not reach under the workpiece while cutting.
k) Secure your workpiece to ensure it doesn't move
during the cut.
l) Do not use excessive force when cutting.
Maintain a steady and controlled pace.
m) Allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop
before lifting the Rip-Cut from your work piece.
n) Maintain your tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
loose fasteners, broken parts, and any other condition
that may affect safe operation. If an unsafe condition is
discovered, correct it before use.
7) Kickback
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up
and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
8) Causes of kickback
a) When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing in, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the
unit rapidly back toward the operator.
b) If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top
surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and propel the saw back toward the operator.
Preventing kickback
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arms to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator if proper
precautions are taken.
b) When blade starts to bind, or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless
in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the
saw backward while the blade is in motion. Investigate and
take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw
blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged
in the material. If the saw blade is binding, the blade may
climb out of the workpiece and kickback as the saw is restarted.

d) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on
both sides of the cut: near the cutline and near the edge of
the panel.
e) Do not use a dull or damaged blade. A dull or improperly
sharpened blade produces a narrow kerf, causing excessive
friction, blade binding, and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locks must be tight and
secure before making a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a plunge cut into existing
walls, floors, or other blind areas. The protruding blade may
contact unseen objects that can cause kickback.
Guidelines for extension cord use
Extension cords are only to be used for temporary purposes.
They do not replace the need for installation of outlets and
proper wiring where necessary.
In the shop and on construction sites:
1. Extension cords with an equipment grounding conductor
must be used at all times.
2. Extension cords must be protected from damage, and not
run through doorways or windows where the doors or
windows can close, causing damage to the cord.
3. Extension cords must be a minimum of 16 AWG and be
rated for the equipment in use.
4. Extension cords must be periodically inspected to ensure
that the insulation and conductivity of the wires are not
compromised.
5. Extension cords should not be run through water or
allowed to have connections that may be exposed to
accumulated water.
