Installation - Makita LH1040 Instruction Manual

WHEN USING IN THE TABLE SAW (BENCH SAW)
MODE:
39. Do not perform any operation freehand.
Freehand means using your hands to support
or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence.
40. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed in the
working position. Tighten the lever clockwise
to fix the arm.
41. Use a push stick or a push block to avoid
working with the hands and fingers close to
the saw blade.
42. Make sure that the bench saw table is securely
fixed at the chosen height.
43. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
riving knife or workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
44. Always store the push-stick when it is not in
use.
45. Pay particular attention to instructions for
reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a
sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade. KICKBACK causes the
ejection of the workpiece from the tool back
towards the operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD
TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid
KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by
keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade, by
keeping the riving knife and blade guard in
place and operating properly, by not releasing
the workpiece until you have pushed it all the
way past the blade, and by not ripping a
workpiece that is twisted or warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide along the
fence.
46. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as
possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do
not bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If
you stall or jam the blade in the workpiece,
turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool.
Then clear the jam.
