blade. Use a push stick if the gap between the stop rail and the
saw blade is less than 150 mm, and a push block if the gap is less
than 50 mm. Work aids of this kind help ensure that your hand is
kept at a safe distance from the saw blade.
e) Only use the supplied push stick of the manufacturer or
one which has been manufactured in accordance with
instructions. The push stick ensures that your hand is kept at a
sufficient distance from the saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or partially sawn push stick. If the push
stick is damaged, it could break, causing your hand to come into
contact with the saw blade.
g) Do not perform your work “free-handed”. Always use
the parallel stop or the mitre stop to position and feed in the
workpiece. “Free-handed” means using your hand to support or
feed in the workpiece with the parallel stop or mitre 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
horizontal. 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 jammed 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
