Safety
Accidental contact between these components and the saw
blade could lead to dangerous situations.
e) Adjust the splitter in accordance with the description in
these operating instructions. Incorrect clearances, position or
alignment may be the reason why the splitter fails to prevent a
kickback effectively.
f) Use the right saw blade for the splitter. For the splitter to work
properly, the saw blade diameter must match the splitter, the saw
plate of the saw blade must be thinner than the splitter and the
tooth pitch must be greater than the thickness of the splitter.
Safety information for sawing
a) Do not let your hands and fingers come anywhere near the
saw blade or the sawing area. It just takes one moment of
inattention or a slip and your hand could be directed towards
them, which could result in serious injuries.
b) Only feed the workpiece to the saw blade or cutting tool
against the direction of rotation. If the workpiece is fed in in
the same direction as the direction of rotation of the saw blade
above the table, this could lead to both the workpiece and your
hand being drawn in to the saw blade.
c) Never use the mitre stop to feed in the workpiece when
performing longitudinal cuts, and never use the parallel stop
in addition for setting the length when performing cross cuts
with the mitre stop. Feeding the workpiece in with both the
parallel stop and the mitre stop at the same time increases the
likelihood of the saw blade getting jammed, which will result in
kickback.
d) When performing longitudinal cuts, always apply the infeed
force on the workpiece between the stop rail and the saw
