AVOID KICKBACKS (FIG. U)
(Work thrown back towards you) by
keeping the blade sharp, the rip fence
parallel to the saw blade and by keeping
the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls and
guards in place, aligned and functioning.
Do not release work before passing it
completely beyond the saw blade. Do not
rip work that is twisted, warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide it along
the fence. Do not attempt to reverse out
of a cut with the blade running.
Improper riving knife alignment can
cause “kickback” and serious injury.

is the one with the measuring scale
visible from the front of the saw
when it is installed to the right hand
side of the saw table.
