teeth of the saw blade and being thrown
against the operator.
Always have the riving knife installed
during operation.
Push stick
The push stick (32) serves as an exten-
sion of the hand and protects against
accidental contact with the saw blade.
Always use the push stick if the distance
between saw blade and rip fence is less
than 120 mm.
Guide the push stick at an angle of 20°
... 30° against the saw table's surface.
When the push stick is not used, it can
