Proper Placement Of Hands During

Cutting Process

1.Review all warnings, especially the

Specific Safety Rules on page 6, before performing any cutting procedure. Always keep all guards in place and in working order.

2.Use the Push Stick (168) or an Auxiliary Handle (not included) only when ripping widths of 2” to 6”. Use a Push Block (not included) when ripping widths under 2”.

3.When ripping, always use the Fence (123). This improves the accuracy of the cut, and reduces the chance for Saw Blade binding.

4.Never pass hands directly over the Saw Blade (3) when cutting the workpiece. Always push the workpiece into the Saw Blade, using the Push Stick (168). See Figure H, below.
