Safety information for saw operations
• DANGER: Do not place your fingers or hands near the saw blade or in the sawing area. A moment of inattention or a slip could
result in your hand being propelled towards the saw blade and result in serious injuries.
• Feed the workpiece to the saw blade against the direction of rotation only. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction as the
saw blade's direction of rotation above the table can result in the workpiece and your hand being drawn into the saw blade.
• Never use the mitre stop to feed the workpiece when making rip cuts and never additionally use the parallel guide as a length
stop when making cross cuts with the mitre stop. Simultaneously guiding the workpiece using the parallel guide and the mitre stop
increases the probability of the saw blade binding and kickback occurring.
• When making rip cuts, always exert the workpiece feeding force between the stop rail (fence) and saw blade. Use a push stick
if the distance between the stop rail (fence) and saw blade is less than 150 mm, and a push block if the distance is less than
50 mm. These work aids ensure that your hand remains a safe distance from the saw blade.
• Only use the push stick supplied by the manufacturer or another push stick manufactured according to instructions.
The push stick ensures sufficient distance between your hand and the saw blade.
• Never use a damaged or partially sawn-off push stick. A damaged push stick can break and result in your hand coming
into contact with the saw blade.
• Do not work "freehand". Always use the parallel guide or the mitre stop to position and guide the workpiece. "Freehand"
means supporting or guiding the workpiece using the hands instead of using a parallel guide or mitre stop. Freehand sawing
will result in misalignment, binding and kickback.
• Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece can result in unintentional contact with a rotating
saw blade.
• Support long and/or wide workpieces at the back and/or side of the saw table to keep them horizontal. Long and/or wide
workpieces tend to tilt at the edge of the saw table; this results in loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
• Feed the workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or turn the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, switch off the power tool im-
mediately, pull out the mains plug and remove the cause of the jam. Saw blade binding at the workpiece can result in kickback
or a blocked motor.
• Do not clear away cut-off material while the saw is running. Cut-off material can settle between the saw blade and stop rail
(fence) or in the protective cover and can draw your finger into the saw blade if you attempt to clear it away. Switch off the saw
and wait until the saw blade has come to a stop before clearing the material.
• CAUTION! Do not process workpieces less than 2 mm in thickness.
Kickback − Causes and related safety information
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with
respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the parallel guide (rip fence) or other
fixed object.
In most cases of kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear section of the saw blade and is propelled towards
the operator.
Kickback is the result of misuse of the circular table saw or incorrect operation. It can be prevented through suitable precautions,
as described below.
• Never stand in a direct line with the saw blade. Always keep stay on the same side of the saw blade as the stop rail. Kickback
can cause the workpiece to be flung at high speed towards people standing in front of and in line with the saw blade.
• Never reach over or behind the saw blade to pull or support the workpiece. This can result in unintentional contact with the saw
blade or kickback can result in your fingers being drawn into the saw blade.
• Never hold and push the workpiece being sawn against the rotating saw blade. Pushing the workpiece being sawn against
the saw blade will result in binding and kickback.
• Align the stop rail parallel to the saw blade. An unaligned stop rail will push the workpiece against the saw blade and cause
kickback.
• CAUTION! The machine table must not be used for cutting joints, making slits or slicing wood during timber handling.
• Exercise particular care when sawing in non-visible areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut into
objects that can cause kickback.
• Support large boards to reduce the risk of kickback due to a jammed saw blade. Large boards can bend under their own weight.
Boards must be supported wherever they project past the table surface.
• Exercise particular care when sawing workpieces that are twisted, knotted or warped or that do not have a straight edge for
guiding it with a mitre stop or along a stop rail. A twisted, knotted or warped workpiece is unstable and will result in misalignment
of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
• Never saw several workpieces stacked one on top of each other or one behind the other. The saw blade could pick up one or
more parts and cause kickback.
• If you want to restart a saw whose blade is positioned in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf in such a way that
the saw teeth are not engaged in the workpiece. If the saw blade binds, it can lift the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw
is restarted.
• Keep the saw blades clean, sharp and ensure the tooth set is adequate. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with
cracked or broken teeth. Sharp saw blades with correct tooth set reduce binding, blocking and kickback.
