the stop rail or in the saw blade and cause your fingers 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
before 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 parallel stop
and cause kickback.
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 fixed object. In most cases when kickback occurs, the
workpiece gets caught by the rear section of the saw blade, gets
lifted from the saw table and thrown in the direction of the operator.
Kickback is the result of the table saw being used incorrectly or
wrongly. It can be prevented by suitable precautions, as described
below.
a) Never position yourself in a direct line with the saw blade.
Always stand to the side of the saw blade, at the side with the
stop rail. In the event of kickback, the workpiece can be thrown
at high speed towards persons who are standing in line with the
saw blade.
b) Never reach into or behind the saw blade to pull or support
the workpiece. This could lead to accidental contact with the
saw blade, or kickback could cause your fingers to be drawn into
the saw blade.
c) Never hold and press a workpiece against the rotating saw
blade when you want to saw the workpiece. Pressing the
workpiece against the saw blade when sawing workpiece will
result in jamming and kickback.
