Ryobi RTS22 Manuel D'utilisation page 5

 WHEN MAKING NON-THROUGH RIP CUTS, always
use a push stick, push block, and/or featherboard so your
hands do not come within 3 inches of the saw blade.
 WHEN RIPPING NARROW STOCK, always use a push
stick, push block, jig ( designed for narrow ripping), or
featherboard.
 NEVER perform any operation "freehand" which means
using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece.
Always use either the rip fence or miter gauge to position
and guide the work.
 NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the saw blade.
 NEVER reach behind, over, or within three inches of the
blade or cutter with either hand for any reason.
 ALWAYS REMOVE THE RIP FENCE from the saw when
cross cutting.
 DO NOT USE THE MITER GAUGE AND RIP FENCE
during the same operation.
 NEVER use rip fence as cutoff gauge when cross cutting.
 NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first
turning the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the
power source.
 PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the rear and sides
of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
 AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by:
a) Keeping blade sharp.
b) Keeping rip fence parallel to the saw blade.
c) Keeping riving knife, anti-kickback pawls, and blade
guard in place and operating.
d) Not releasing the work before it is pushed all the way
past the saw blade using a push stick.
e) Not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
