Stop unit and bench saw

A bench saw comprising a stop unit, a lay-on section having a lay-on surface for laying a workpiece on top of the lay-on surface, and a saw blade, wherein the stop unit serves for guiding and/or for the feed of a workpiece to the saw blade of the bench saw, the stop unit comprising:

• a stop arm which extends in a longitudinal direction for the contact of the workpiece,
• wherein the stop arm is aligned with its side which is largest with regard to surface area orthogonally to the lay-on surface,
• wherein the stop arm comprises a main section which is manufactured from a first material and which extends over more than half the longitudinal extension of the stop arm, and the stop arm comprises at least one end section which is arranged on an end of the main section which end is located in the longitudinal direction, said end section being able to come into contact with the saw blade given a feed of the workpiece towards the saw blade,
• wherein the at least one end section continues a transverse-side outer contour of the main section in the longitudinal direction, so that the stop arm as a whole results in a strip-shaped body with a constant profile in the longitudinal direction,
• wherein the at least one end section is manufactured from a second material,
• wherein the first material is metal and the second material is plastic,
• wherein the bench saw is configured to carry out a safety function on a basis of an electrical characteristic of an object which is in contact with the saw blade, wherein the electrical characteristic of the second material of the end section is such that the bench saw does not carry out the safety function given a contact of the saw blade with the end section.
