(Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed in work areas).
It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also
make sure to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended.
Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable. Once you are ready to commence
work, remove all tools used in the setting operations (if any) and place safely out of the way. Re-connect
the machine.
Carry out a final "tightness" check e.g. guide fence, table tilt, etc.., check that the 'cutting path' (in this
case; the path that the work piece will travel) is unobstructed.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc..
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or chips, wear the appropriate
safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc., and if the work operation appears to be excessively noisy,
wear ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a
sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the tool,
likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to
be a 'snag' hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc..
Do not work with cutting tools of any description if you are tired, your attention is wandering or
you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost fingertip or worse; is not worth it!
Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in
areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised machines
for working in these areas, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
Check that blades are the correct type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will
maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.
Above all, OBSERVE.... make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE YOUR
COMMON SENSE.
Unpacking...
Your saw is packed in the box partially assembled. Unfortunately this is more of an exercise to ensure
that the components are inserted in the correct positions than a shortening of the build time. e.g. the
blade is fitted, the securing bolt for the tilt mechanism is inserted in the tilt quadrant with the washer
and the locking butterfly nut threaded on to the bolt, etc..
Please make careful note of the positions of the various components if you have cause to disassemble,
whilst putting the machine together. ( Now there's an oxymoron)s
Take all the easily removable items out of the box, tip the box up so that the base of the saw is to the
ground, remove all the polystyrene packaging from around the saw (open both sides of the box?) then
"corner walk" the saw out of the box. If this is still awkward, split the top of the box, fold the box
material flat on the floor, and "wriggle" the saw off the cardboard. (The best method of moving the saw
is with a 'hug' lift through the neck of the saw, holding the saw back against your body and lifting by
straightening your legs).
