5.
NEVER use the fence and miter gauge together without using a cutoff block as described elsewhere in this manual.

A kickback can occur when the workpiece pinches the blade, or binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object.
This can cause the workpiece to rise from the table and/or be thrown back toward the operator. See instructions for reducing the risk of
kickback on page 8 of this manual.
IF KICKBACK OCCURS, turn the saw "OFF" and verify proper alignment of the blade, riving knife and miter gauge or rip fence. Also
the proper functioning of the riving knife, anti-kickback assembly and blade guard assembly before resuming work.
