ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR TABLE SAW
Do not use saw blades which are damaged or
deformed.
Replace table insert when worn.
Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer.
When changing the saw blade be aware that
the width of the cut will be wider than the body
of the blade,which in turn should be not be
wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
Take care that the selection of the saw blade is
suitable for the material to be cut.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment
when necessary, this could include
- hearing protection to reduce the risk of
induced
hearing loss,
- respiratory protection to reduce the risk of
inhalation of harmful dust,
- wear gloves when handling saw blades and
rough material. Saw blades shall be carried in
a holder whenever practicable.
Dust developing during operation can be
harmful to your health, inflammable or
explosive. Never cut metals or materials which
may make hazardous dust.
Do not use High speed steel blades.
Use the push stick when required. Always use
a push stick for ripping narrow timber. Refer to
ripping applications in this Instruction Manual
where use of the push stick is covered in detail.
The push stick should always be stored with
the machine when not in use.
Always use the saw blade guard and riving
knife for every operation, including through
sawing. Through sawing operations are those
in which the blade cuts completely through
the work piece when ripping or crosscutting.

Always hold the work firmly against the mitre
gauge or fence.
Never perform any operation "free hand".
Always use either the fence or the mitre gauge
to position and guide.
Rebating or grooving should not be carried
out.
Saws shall not be used for slotting (stopped
groove).
Use only saw blades for which the maximum
possible speed is not less than the maximum
spindle speed of the tool and the material to
be cut.
Never stand or have any parts of your body in
line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your
hands out of the line of the saw blade.
Move the rip fence out of the way when cross
cutting.
Feed the work into the blade or cutter
AGAINST the direction of rotation only.
Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when
crosscutting.
Never attempt to free a stalled blade without
first turning the saw OFF. Turn off the power
switch immediately to prevent motor damage.
When transporting the machine use only
transportation devices and never use guards
for handling or transportation.
During transportation the upper part of the
saw blade should be covered; for example by
the guard.
Use an extension table for supporting long
workpieces during cutting operation.
Ensure that polyfoam packaging is removed
before use.
Ensure that the yellow warning label is
removed from the table before use.
