# Practical advice

##

- Before making any cuts, first make sure that the saw blade cannot come into contact with the stops or any other parts of the tool at any time.

- Only use the power tool for grooving or routing if a suitable protective guard (e.g. tunnel blade guard, featherboard) is in place.

- Do not use the power tool for cutting slots (stopped grooves).

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

The riving knife must be aligned with the saw blade in order to prevent the workpiece from jamming.

Do not saw workpieces that have become bent or twisted out of shape. The workpiece must always have a straight edge to face against the parallel guide.

Always store the push stick on the power tool.

##

- Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.

- Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.

Pay attention to the following instructions:

- Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands and press it securely against the saw table.
- When using narrow workpieces or sawing bevel angles, always use the push stick (12) and the additional parallel guide (41) provided.
