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
interferes with the operation of the saw blade guard.
h) Fully support both the workpiece and the cut-off piece to
prevent binding and kickback.
i) Adjust the depth of cut so that the saw blade protrudes
" [3 mm] 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 that 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 workpiece.
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 towards 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 towards 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 towards 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 the 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 backwards 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, centre the saw
blade in the kerf and check that the saw teeth are not
engaged in the material. If the saw blade is binding, the blade
may climb out of the workpiece and kick back as the saw is
restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise 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 come into contact with 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 sockets and
proper wiring where necessary.
In the workshop and on construction sites:
1. Extension cords with an equipment earthing 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.
