In order to operate your table saw safely,
you must use a push stick whenever the size
or shape of the workpiece would otherwise
cause your hands to be within 6" (15 cm)
of the saw blade or other cutter.
A push stick is included with this saw.
No special wood is needed to make
additional push-sticks as long as they're
sturdy and long enough. A push stick requires
enough length and a notch that fits against
the edge of the workpiece to prevent
slipping. It’s a good idea to have several push
sticks of the same length with differ ent size
notches for different workpiece thicknesses.
The shape can vary to suit your own needs as
long as it performs its intended function of
keeping your hands away from the blade.

THROUGH CUTS
WARNING!
Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer
or constructed in accordance with the instructions.
This push stick provides sufficient distance of the
hand from the saw blade.
Fig. 23a
Fig. 23b
WARNING!
Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and
working properly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury.
WARNING!
Use extra caution when cutting wood products having slippery surface as the
anti-kickback pawls may not always be effective.
WARNING!
DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this
warning could result in personal injury.
WARNING!
To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is securely against the
rip fence during any rip cut, and hold the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge
during any mitre cut.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt compound mitre cuts, with blade bevelled and mitre fence
angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with the basic cuts and understand how to
avoid kickback.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here.
WARNING!
Using rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting will result in kickback which
can cause serious personal injury.
WARNING!
NEVER make freehand cuts (cuts without mitre gauge or rip fence). Unguided
workpieces can result in serious injury.
WARNING!
Never make through cuts without the blade guard in place. Failure to heed this
instruction could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Never use a damaged or cut push stick.
A damaged push stick may break causing your
hand to slip into the saw blade.
PUSH STICK (Fig. 23a-23b)
A push stick can be purchased or made to securely hold down the workpiece against the
table when making non-through cuts or ripping narrow stock. The stick must be
narrower than the workpiece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the
other end.
