5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
m WARNING
Danger due to electromagnetic field
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or pas-
sive medical implants under certain conditions.
- In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medi-
cal implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to op-
erating the power tool.
Safety instructions for table saws
Guarding related warnings
a) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in
working order and be properly mounted. A
guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning
correctly must be repaired or replaced.
b) Always use saw blade guard and riving knife
for every through-cutting operation. For
through-cutting operations where the saw blade
cuts completely through the thickness of the
workpiece, the guard and other safety devices
help reduce the risk of injury.
c) Immediately reattach the guarding system
after completing an operation (such as rab-
beting, dadoing or resawing cuts) which re-
quires removal of the guard, riving knife and/
or anti-kickback device. The guard, riving knife
and anti-kickback device help to reduce the risk
of injury.
d) Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the
guard, riving knife or the workpiece before
the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of
these items with the saw blade could cause a haz-
ardous condition.
e) Adjust the riving knife as described in this in-
struction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffec-
tive in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
f) For the riving knife to work, they must be en-
gaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is inef-
fective when cutting workpieces that are too short
to be engaged with the riving knife. Under these
conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the
riving knife.

g) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving
knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the
saw blade diameter must match the appropriate
riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be
thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and
the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider
than the thickness of the riving knife.
Cutting procedures warnings
a) m DANGER: Never place your fingers or
hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw
blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could di-
rect your hand towards the saw blade and result
in serious personal injury.
b) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or
cutter only against the direction of rotation.
Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that
the saw blade is rotating above the table may re-
sult in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled
into the saw blade.
c) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the work-
piece when ripping and do not use the rip fence
as a length stop when cross cutting with the mi-
tre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence
and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the
likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
d) When ripping, always apply the workpiece
feeding force between the fence and the saw
blade. Use a push stick when the distance
between the fence and the saw blade is less
than 150 mm, and use a push block when this
distance is less than 50 mm. "Work helping" de-
vices will keep your hand at a safe distance from
the saw blade.
e) Use only the push stick provided by the man-
ufacturer or constructed in accordance with
the instructions. This push stick provides suffi-
cient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A dam-
aged push stick may break causing your hand to
slip into the saw blade.
g) Do not perform any operation "freehand".
Always use either the rip fence or the mitre
gauge to position and guide the workpiece.
"Freehand" means using your hands to sup-
port or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip
fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to
misalignment, binding and kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw
blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to ac-
cidental contact with the moving saw blade.
i) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the
rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/
or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long
and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot
on the table's edge, causing loss of control, saw
blade binding and kickback.
