g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe han-
dling and control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
5. Service
a) 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.
m WARNING! This electric tool generates an elec-
tromagnetic field during operation. This field can im-
pair 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 operat-
ing the electric tool.
Safety instructions for table saws
Guarding related warnings
a) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
ing order and be properly mounted. A guard
that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning cor-
rectly must be repaired or replaced.
b) Always use saw blade guard and riving knife
for every through-cutting
through-cutting operations where the saw blade
cuts completely through the thickness of the work-
piece, the guard and other safety devices help re-
duce the risk of injury.
c) Immediately reattach the guarding system af-
ter completing an operation (such as rabbet-
ing, dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires
removal of the saw blade guard and/or riving
knife. 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 in-
struction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
operation. For
f) For the riving knife to work, they must be en-
gaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is inef-
fective 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 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.
Cutting procedures warnings
a) m 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 cutter
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 apply the workpiece
feeding force between the fence and the saw
blade. Use a push stick when the distance be-
tween the fence and the saw blade is less than
150 mm, and use a push block when this dis-
tance 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 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 sup-
port or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip
fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to
misalignment, binding and kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw
blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to ac-
cidental contact with the moving saw blade.
