2) Safety information for sawing
a)
DANGER: Do not let your hands and
fi
ngers come anywhe-
re near the saw blade or the sawing area.
It just takes one
moment of inattention or a slip and your hand could be directed
towards the saw blade, which could result in serious injuries.
b)
Only feed the workpiece to the saw blade or cutting tool
against the direction of rotation.
If the workpiece is fed in in
the same direction as the direction of rotation of the saw blade
above the table, this could lead to both the workpiece and your
hand being drawn in to the saw blade.
c)
Never use the miter stop to feed in the workpiece when
performing longitudinal cuts, and never use the parallel
stop in addition for setting the length when performing
cross cuts with the miter stop.
Feeding the workpiece in with
both the parallel stop and the miter stop at the same time incre-
ases the likelihood of the saw blade getting jammed, which will
result in kickback.
d)
When performing longitudinal cuts, always apply the infeed
force on the workpiece between the stop rail and the saw
blade. Use a push stick if the gap between the stop rail and
the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and a push block if the
gap is less than 50 mm.
Work aids of this kind help ensure that
your hand is kept at a safe distance from the saw blade.
e)
Only use the supplied push stick of the manufacturer or
one which has been manufactured in accordance with in-
structions.
The push stick ensures that your hand is kept at a
su
ffi
cient distance from the saw blade.
f)
Never use a damaged or partially sawn push stick.
If the
push stick is damaged, it could break, causing your hand to
come into contact with the saw blade.
g)
Do not perform your work “free-handed”. Always use the
parallel stop or the miter stop to position and feed in the
workpiece.
“Free-handed” means using your hand to support or
feed in the workpiece with the parallel stop or miter stop. Free-
handed sawing leads to misalignment, jamming and kickbacks.
