will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety information for table saws
Guarding related warnings
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working or-
u
der 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 and riving knife for every
u
through–cutting operation. For through-cutting opera-
tions where the saw blade cuts completely through the
thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety
devices help reduce the risk of injury.
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard,
u
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.
Cutting procedures warnings
DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the
u
vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inat-
tention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw
blade and result in serious personal injury.
Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only
u
against the direction of rotation. Feeding the work-
piece 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 mitre gauge to feed the workpiece
u
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 bind-
ing and kickback.
When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding
u
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 150mm, 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
u
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
u
push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the
saw blade.
Do not perform any operation "freehand". Always use
u
either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to position and
guide the workpiece. "Freehand" means using your
1 609 92A 66E | (12.01.2021)
hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip
fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalign-
ment, binding and kickback.
Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.
u
Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact
with the moving saw blade.
Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/
u
or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide work-
pieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide work-
piece has a tendency to pivot on the table's edge, causing
loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist
u
the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off im-
mediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jam-
ming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback
or stall the motor.
Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw
u
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 mater-
ial.
Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top
u
when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin
workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a
kickback.
Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a
pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the
workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of
the workpiece 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 saw blade and is pro-
pelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operat-
ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always
u
position your body on the same side of the saw blade
as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high
velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with
the saw blade.
Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or
u
to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the
saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers
into the saw blade.
Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut
u
off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the work-
piece being cut off against the saw blade will create a
binding condition and kickback.
Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A
u
misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw
blade and create kickback.
