Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE AND ANTI-
KICKBACK PAWLS
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired
or replaced.
Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-
kickback pawls for every through-cutting operation.
For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts
completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the
guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of
injury.
Immediately reattach the guarding system after
completing an operation (such as rabbeting, dadoing
or resawing cuts) which requires removal of the guard,
riving knife and/or anti-kickback pawls. The guard,
riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls help to reduce the
risk of injury.
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 the 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 pawls to work,
they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving
knife and anti-kickback pawls are ineffective when cutting
workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving
knife and anti-kickback pawls. Under these conditions
a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and
anti-kickback pawls.
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.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
4 - English
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
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.
Feed the workpiece into the saw blade 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.
