of the workpiece, the guard and other safety
devices help reduce the risk of injury.
c) After completing a non-through cut such as
rabbeting, resawing, or dadoing, restore the
riving knife to the extended-up position. With
the riving knife in the extended-up position,
reattach the blade guard. The guard and riving
knife help to reduce the risk of injury.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged
in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective
when cutting workpieces that are too short to
be engaged with the riving knife. Under these
conditions, a kickback cannot be prevented by
the riving knife.
g) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving
knife. For the riving knife to function properly,
the saw blade diameter must match the appro-
priate 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.
2) Cutting procedures warnings
a) DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands
in the vicinity 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 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.
c) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the work-
piece when ripping and do not use the rip fence
as a length stop when cross cutting with the
mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the
rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time

increases the likelihood of saw blade binding
and kickback.
d) When ripping, always keep the workpiece in
full contact with the fence and 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.
e) Use only the push stick provided by the manu-
facturer or constructed in accordance 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 dam-
aged or cut push stick may break causing your
hand to slip into the saw blade .
g) Do not perform any operation "freehand".
Always use either the rip fence or the mitre
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 mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to mis-
alignment, binding and kickback.
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, causing loss of control, saw
blade binding and kickback.
j) Feed the workpiece at an even pace. Do not
bend, twist or shift the workpiece from side to
side. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off im-
mediately, unplug 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 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
thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the
rip fence and create a kickback.
