Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece
before the switch is turned on . Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could
cause a hazardous condition.
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual . Incorrect spacing,
positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of
kickback.
For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to work, they must be engaged in the
workpiece . The riving knife and anti-kickback device are ineffective when cutting workpieces
that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback device. Under these
conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and antikickback device.
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.

Cutting procedures warnings

Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw
DANGER
blade . A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the
saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation .
Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table
may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
Never use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip
fence as a length stop when cross-cutting with the miter gauge . Guiding the workpiece
with the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade
binding and kickback.
When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the
saw blade . Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is
less than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm . "Work
helping" devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance
with the instructions . This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw
blade.
Never use a damaged or cut push stick . A damaged push stick may break causing your
hand to slip into the saw blade.
Do not perform any operation "freehand" . Always use either the rip fence or the miter
gauge to position and guide the workpiece . "Freehand" means using your hands to
support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or miter gauge. Freehand sawing leads to
misalignment, binding and kickback.
Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade . Reaching for a workpiece may lead to
accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long
and/or wide workpieces to keep them level . A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency
to pivot on the table's edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
Feed workpiece at an even pace . Do not bend or twist the workpiece . If jamming occurs,
turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam . Jamming the saw blade
by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running . The material may
become trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling
your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before
removing material.
