-
Always hold the workpiece down on the table and do not jam it; risk of kickback.

ual pieces; risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the saw blade uncontrolla-
bly.

such material; risk of drawing in or trapping.
Sawing
For cutting, the workpiece is evenly fed against the saw blade
towards the rear of the table.

front edge on the workpiece.
2.
Set the blade tilt and lock in position.
3.
Mount the rip fence, if required.
4.
Start the saw.
5.
Cut the workpiece in a single pass.
6.
Switch the machine off if no further cutting is to be done
immediately afterwards.
