WARNING
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants
under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.
Safety instructions for table saws
1) Guarding related warnings
a) 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.
b) Always use a saw blade guard and riving knife 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.
c) After completing working procedures where the removal of the blade guard and/or riving knife is necessary
(e.g. rebating, cutting grooves or other procedures where the workpiece needs to be turned over), the guard
must be reattached immediately. The guard helps to reduce the risk of injury.
d) Make sure the saw blade is not touching 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 workpie-
ces 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 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.
2) Cutting procedure warnings
a) DANGER: Never place your hands and fingers in the sawing area or close to the saw blade. A moment of
carelessness or a slip could steer your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious injuries.
b) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same
direction as the saw blade is rotating above the table may lead to the workpiece and your hand being drawn into
the saw blade.
c) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece 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 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. These working aids will help ensure that your hands remain a safe distance from
the saw blade.
e) Only use the push stick provided by the manufacturer, or a push stick that has been produced in accordance
with the instructions. The push stick ensures a sufficient distance between the hand and saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or partially sawn push stick. A damaged push stick may break and lead to your hand running
into the saw blade.
g) Never work "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.
Free-handed sawing leads to incorrect alignment, jamming and kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece can lead to accidental contact with
the rotating saw blade.
i) Support long and/or wide workpieces at the rear and/or side of the saw table, so that they remain horizontal.
Long and/or wide workpieces tend to tilt at the edge of the saw table; this leads to a loss of control, jamming of
the saw blade and kickback.
j) Feed the workpiece steadily and evenly. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, switch off
the saw immediately, unplug the saw and remedy the cause of the jam. IJamming of the saw blade by
the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
k) Do not remove pieces of cut-off material whilst the saw is running. The material may become trapped between the
saw blade guard and the fence the saw blade and may draw your fingers into the saw blade during removal. Switch the
saw off and wait until the saw blade has come to a standstill, before removing the material.
l) When ripping workpieces that are thinner than 2 mm, use an additional fence in contact with the table surface.
Thin workpieces can wedge under the rip fence and lead to kickback.
