action before ripping by pushing
the wood under the anti-kickback
assembly. The teeth must prevent
the wood from being pulled toward
the front of the saw.

hardboard) materials may be cut on
your saw. However, since these are
usually quite hard and slippery, the
anti-kickback pawls may not stop a
kickback. Therefore, be especially
attentive to following proper set up
and cutting procedures for ripping.
e. Use saw blade guard assembly,
anti-kickback pawls assembly and
riving knife for every operation for
which it can be used, including all
through-sawing.

blade prior to release.
g. Never rip a workpiece that is
twisted or warped, or does not
have a straight edge to guide along
the fence.
h. Never saw a large workpiece that
cannot be controlled.
i. Never use the fence as a guide or
length stop when crosscutting.
j. Never saw a workpiece with loose
knots, flaws, nails or other foreign
objects.
k. Never rip a workpiece shorter than
10 in. (254 mm).
l. NEVER use a dull blade – replace
or have resharpened.

gauge together.
