Note: If you cut narrow pieces, use a push
stick to protect your fingers.
Ripping
NEVER place fingers or hands in the line
of cut. If you slip, your hands or fingers
may go into the blade. ALWAYS use a push
stick when ripping narrow pieces. Failure to
follow these warnings may result in serious
personal injury!
