feed in the workpiece with the parallel stop or miter stop. Free-
handed sawing leads to misalignment, jamming and kickbacks.
h) Never reach over or into a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a
workpiece could lead to accidental contact with the rotating saw
blade.
i) Provide support for long and/or wide workpieces behind
and/or at the side of the saw table, so that they stay hori-
zontal. Long and/or wide workpieces have a tendency to fall off
at the edge of the saw table; this leads to a loss of control, the
jamming of the saw blade and kickbacks.
j) Feed the workpiece in smoothly. Do not bend or twist the
workpiece. If the saw blade becomes jammed, switch off
the power tool immediately, pull out the power plug and
rectify the cause of the jam. If the saw blade becomes jam-
med because of the workpiece, this could cause a kickback or
cause the motor to block.
k) Do not remove the sawn material while the saw is running.
Sawn material could become stuck between the saw blade and
the stop rail or in the saw blade and cause your fi ngers to be
drawn into the saw blade if you attempt to remove it. Switch off
the saw and wait until the saw blade has come to a standstill be-
fore removing the material.
l) For longitudinal cuts on workpieces thinner than 2 mm,
use an additional parallel stop which has contact with the
table surface. Thin workpieces can get wedged under the paral-
lel stop and cause kickback.
m) Avoid overheating of the saw blade and/or burn marks on
the workpiece. Push the workpiece smoothly into the saw blade
and do not stop during the cut.
3) Causes of kickbacks and related safety information
A kickback is the sudden reaction of the workpiece resulting from
a caught, jammed saw blade or a cut performed at an angle in the
workpiece relative to the saw blade, or when part of the workpiece
becomes jammed between the saw blade and the parallel stop or
any other fi xed object. In most cases when kickback occurs, the
