cannot be prevented by the riving knife and
antikickback device.
g. Use the appropriate saw blade for the
riving knife. For the riving knife to func-
tion 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 cut-
ting width of the saw blade must be wider
than the thickness of the riving knife.
2. Cutting procedures warnings
a.
or in line with the saw blade. A moment of
inattention or a slip could direct your hand
towards the saw blade and result in serious
personal injury.
b. Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or
cutter only against the direction of rota-
tion. Feeding the workpiece in the same di-
rection that the saw blade is rotating above
the table may result in the workpiece, and
your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
c. 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 likeli-
hood of saw blade binding and kickback.
d. 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 (6 in.), and use
a push block when this distance is less
than 50 mm (2 in.). "Work helping" devices
will keep your hand at a safe distance from
the saw blade.
e. Use only the push stick provided by the
manufacturer or constructed in accor-
dance with the instructions. This push stick
provides sufficient distance of the hand
from the saw blade.
f. Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A
damaged push stick may break causing your
hand to slip into the saw blade.

Safety Instructions for Table Saws
Never place your fingers
or hands in the vicinity
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
g. 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 kick-
back.
h. Never reach around or over a rotating saw
blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead
to accidental contact with the moving saw
blade.
i. 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, caus-
ing loss of control, saw blade binding and
kickback.
j. Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not
bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming
occurs, turn the tool off immediately,
disconnect the battery pack from the tool,
then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade
by the workpiece can cause kickback or
stall the motor.
k. Do not remove pieces of cut-off material
while the saw is running. The material may
become trapped between the rip 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.
l. Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the
table top when ripping workpieces less
than 2 mm (0.08 in) thick. A thin workpiece
may wedge under the rip fence and create a
kickback.
3. Kickback causes and related
warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece
due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or mis-
aligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect
to the saw blade or when a part of the work-
piece binds between the saw blade and the rip
fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece
is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the
