where necessary.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- TABLE SAWS
1) Guarding related warnings
a) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in
working order and be properly mounted. A
guard that is loose, damaged, or is
not functioning correctly must be
repaired or replaced.
b) Always use saw blade guard, riving
knife and anti-kickback device for
every through–cutting operation. For
through-cutting operations where the saw
blade cuts completely through the thickness
of the workpiece, the guard and other safety
devices help reduce the risk of injury.
c) Immediately reattach the guarding
system after completing an operation
(such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing
cuts) which requires removal of the
guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback
device. The guard, riving knife, and anti-
kickback device help to reduce the risk of
injury.
d) Make sure the saw blade is not
contacting the guard, riving knife or the
workpiece before the switch is turned
on. Inadvertent contact of these items with
the saw blade could cause a hazardous
condition.
e) Adjust the riving knife as described in
this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,
positioning and alignment can make the
riving knife ineffective in reducing the
likelihood of kickback.
f) For the riving knife and anti-kickback
device to work, they must be engaged
in the workpiece. The riving knife and anti-
kickback device are ineffective when cutting
workpieces that are too short to be engaged
with the riving knife and anti-kickback
device. Under these conditions a kickback
cannot be prevented by the riving knife and
anti-kickback device.
g) Use the appropriate saw blade for the
riving knife. For the riving knife to function
properly, the saw blade diameter must
match the appropriate riving knife and
the body of the saw blade must be thinner
than the thickness of the riving knife and
the cutting width of the saw blade must be

wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
2) Cutting procedures warnings
a)
DANGER: Never place your fingers or
hands in the vicinity or in line with the
saw blade. A moment of inattention or a
slip could direct your hand towards the saw
blade and result in serious personal injury.
b) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade
only against the direction of rotation.
Feeding the workpiece in the same direction
that the saw blade is rotating above the
table may result in the workpiece, and your
hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
c) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the
workpiece when ripping and do not use
the rip fence as a length stop when cross
cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding
the workpiece with the rip fence and the
mitre gauge at the same time increases
the likelihood of saw blade binding and
kickback.
d) When ripping, always apply the
workpiece feeding force between the
fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick
when the distance between the fence
and the saw blade is less than 150mm,
and use a push block when this distance
is less than 50mm. "Work helping" devices
will keep your hand at a safe distance from
the saw blade.
e) Use only the push stick provided by
the manufacturer or constructed in
accordance with the instructions. This
push stick provides sufficient distance of the
hand from the saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A
damaged push stick may break causing your
hand to slip into the saw blade.
g) Do not perform any operation
"freehand". Always use either the rip
fence or the mitre gauge to position
and guide the workpiece. "Freehand"
means using your hands to support or
guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence
or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to
misalignment, binding and kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a rotating
saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may
lead to accidental contact with the moving
saw blade.
i) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to
the rear and/or sides of the saw table
for long and/or wide workpieces to keep
them level. A long and/or wide workpiece
has a tendency to pivot on the table's edge,
