and wait until the saw blade has come to a stand-
still, before removing the material.
l) For longitudinal cuts on workpieces that are
thinner than 2 mm, use an additional parallel
stop that is in contact with the table surface.
Thin workpieces can wedge under the parallel
stop and lead to kickback.
Kickback - causes and corresponding safety in-
structions
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece to a
workpiece at an angle to the saw blade, or if part of the
saw table and thrust in the direction of the operator.
a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade.
Always stand at the side of the saw blade on
which the stop rail is located. With kickback, the
those persons who stand in front of, or in line with
the saw blade.
b) Never reach over or behind the saw blade to
pull or support the workpiece. This can result in
accidental contact with the saw blade, or kickback
blade.
Safety information for sawing

rotational direction of the saw blade above the ta-
drawn into the saw blade.
c) When performing longitudinal cuts, never use
the mitre stop to guide the workpiece, and
when transverse cutting with the mitre stop
never additionally use the parallel stop for lon-
gitudinal adjustment.

d) When performing longitudinal cuts, always
apply the feed force to the workpiece between
the stop rail and the saw blade. Use a push rod
if the distance between the stop rail and saw
blade is less than 150 mm, and a push block
if the distance is less than 50 mm.

f) Never use a damaged or partially sawn push
rod.
g) Never work “freehand”. Always use the paral-
lel stop or the mitre stop to position and guide
the workpiece. “Freehand” means supporting
or guiding the workpiece with the hands, rath-
er than using the parallel stop or mitre stop.
Free-handed sawing leads to incorrect alignment,
h) Never reach around or over a turning saw
blade. Reaching for a workpiece can lead to acci-
