WARNING:
The rip fence must be on the right side of the
blade to avoid trapping the wood and causing
kickback. Placement of the rip fence to the left
of the blade will result in kickback and the risk
of serious personal injury.

Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
