for cutting
accidental contact with the saw blade
and from chips flying about.
When using the saw, the blade guard
must alway be positioned so that the dis-
tance between the workpiece and lower
front edge of the blade guard is not more
then 2 mm.

Risk of injury by workpiece
kickback (workpiece is caught by the
rotating saw blade and thrown back
against the operator):
− Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece
against its side.
− Always hold the workpiece down on
the table and do not jam it.
− always work with a properly set riv-
ing knife.
− Always use sharp saw blades. If in
doubt check workpiece for inclusion
of foreign objects (e.g. nails, screws,
lose knots).
Danger!
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
− Use a feeding aid (push stick) if you
want to cut short stock.
