Safety
d) Align the stop rail parallel to the saw blade. If the stop rail is
not properly aligned, the workpiece will press against the saw
blade and cause kickback.
e) Do not use this saw to cut rebates or grooves. For design
reasons, the saw is not suitable for such work. The splitter must
never be removed, because it prevents jamming and kickbacks.
f) Be particularly careful when sawing in areas into which you
cannot see on workpieces which have been joined together.
The plunge-cutting saw blade may saw into objects which could
cause kickback.
g) Support large panels to reduce the risk of a kickback by a
jammed saw blade. Large panels may sag under their own
weight. Panels must be provided with support at all points where
they project over the table surface.
h) Do not work on any workpieces which are twisted, knotted
or warped or do not have a straight edge on which they can
be guided with a mitre stop or along a stop rail. A warped,
knotted or twisted workpiece is instable and will lead to the
misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, and jamming and
kickback.
i) Never saw several workpieces stacked one on top of the
other or one after the other. The saw blade could catch one or
more parts and cause kickback.
j) Do not start the saw if the saw is in the workpiece. If the saw
blade is jammed it may lift the workpiece and cause kickback
when the saw is restarted.
k) Keep the saw blades clean, sharp and adequately set. Never
use bent saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth.
Saw blades which are sharp and properly set minimize jamming,
blockages and kickback.
