1. ALWAYS USE SAW BLADE GUARD, riving knife and antikickback pawls assembly for every through-sawing operation. Through -sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece when ripping or crosscutting. Always be sure blade guard is tightened securely. 2. ALWAYS HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the miter gauge or rip fence. 3. ALWAYS USE a push stick or push block, especially when ripping narrow stock.
14.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the saw blade, 15.NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean plastic parts.

SAWBLADEGUARD ANTI-KICKBACK RiViNG KNIFE ASSEMBLY, ASSEMBLY AND Your table saw is equipped with a blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife that covers the blade and reduces the possibility of accidental blade contact. The riving knife is a flat plate that fits into the cut made by the saw blade and effectively fights kickback by lessening the tendency of the blade to bind in the cut.
