l) For longitudinal cuts on workpieces that are

thinner than 2 mm, use an additional parallel

stop that is in contact with the table surface.

Thin workpieces can wedge under the parallel

stop and lead to kickback.

Kickback - causes and corresponding safety in-

structions

Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece to a

catching or jamming saw blade, or a cut created in

the workpiece at an angle to the saw blade, or if part

of the workpiece becomes jammed between the saw

blade and the parallel stop, or another stationary ob-

ject.

In the majority of cases, with kickback the workpiece

is caught by the rear part of the saw blade, lifted off

the saw table and thrust in the direction of the oper-

ator. Kickback is the result of incorrect or decient

use of the circular table saw. It can be prevented by

suitable precautionary measures, as described in the

following.

a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade.

Always stand at the side of the saw blade on

which the stop rail is located. With kickback,

the workpiece may be thrust at high speed to-

wards those persons who stand in front of, or in

line with the saw blade.

b) Never reach over or behind the saw blade to

pull or support the workpiece. This can result

in accidental contact with the saw blade, or kick-

back can lead to your ngers being drawn into the

saw blade.

c) Never hold and push the workpiece against

the turning saw blade during sawing. Pushing

the workpiece against the saw blade during saw-

ing will lead to jamming and kickback.

d) Align the stop rail parallel to the saw blade.

A stop rail that is not aligned will push the work-

piece against the saw blade and create kickback.

e) With concealed saw cuts (e.g. folds, grooves

or slits in the turning process), use a thrust

collar to guide the workpiece against the ta-

ble and stop rail. Using a thrust collar, you are

able to better control the workpiece in the event

of kickback.

f) Apply particular caution when sawing assem-

bled workpieces in areas that are not visible.

The plunging saw blade can saw into objects that

could cause a kickback.

g) Support large panels, in order to avoid the

risk of kickback due to a jammed saw blade.

Large panels may bend under their own weight.

Panels must be supported in all areas where they

overhang the table surface.

h) Apply particular caution when sawing work-

pieces that are twisted, knotted or warped, or

that do not have a straight edge that can be

used to guide them with a mitre stop or along

a stop rail. A twisted, knotted or warped work-

piece is unstable and results in incorrect align-

ment of the kerf with the saw blade, jamming and

kickback.

i) Never saw multiple workpieces stacked on

top of each other, or one behind the other. The

saw blade could engage in one or more parts and

result in kickback.

j) If you wish to restart a saw, the saw blade of

which is inserted in a workpiece, centre the

saw blade in the sawing gap so that the saw

teeth are not hooked in the workpiece. If the

saw blade is jammed, it can lift the workpiece and

cause kickback when the saw is restarted.

k) Always keep saw blades clean, sharp and suf-

ciently set. Never use warped saw blades

or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth.

Sharp and correctly set saw blades minimise jam-

ming, blocking and kickback.

Safety instructions for the operation of circular

table saws

a) Switch off the circular table saw and discon-

nect it from the power supply before remov-

ing the table insert, changing the saw blade,

implementing settings on the riving knife or

the saw blade protective cover, and if the ma-

chine is left unattended. Precautionary meas-

ures serve to prevent accidents.

b) Never leave the circular table saw running un-

attended. Switch off the electric tool and do

not leave it until it has come to a complete

standstill. An unattended running saw poses an

uncontrolled risk.

c) Set up the circular table saw in a location that

is level and well ventilated, and where it can

stand safely and remain balanced. The instal-

lation site must provide sufcient space for

easily handling the size of your workpieces.

Disorganised and unlit working areas, and une-

ven, slippery oors may lead to accidents.

d) Regularly remove chips and sawdust from be-

neath the saw table and/or from the dust ex-

traction system. Accumulated sawdust is am-

mable and can self-ignite.

e) Secure the circular table saw. If a circular ta-

ble saw is not secured correctly, it can move or

topple.

f) Remove the adjustment tools, wood residues,

etc. from the circular table saw before switch-

ing it on. Deections and possible jams could be

dangerous.
