Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions

Before making any cuts, first make sure that the saw blade cannot come into contact with the stops or any other parts of the tool at any time.

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

Take care that the riving knife is in line with the saw blade.

Do not saw workpieces that have become bent or twisted out of shape. The workpiece must always have a straight edge to face against the parallel guide.

Always store the push stick on the power tool.

Do not use the power tool for routing, grooving or cutting slots.

The free end of long workpieces must have something placed underneath it or be supported (see figure E).

Position of the Operator (see figure F)

Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade. This protects your body against possible kickback.

Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.

Pay attention to the following instructions:

Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands and press it securely against the saw table, especially when working without a stop.
Use the push stick provided when sawing narrow workpieces.
