Before commencing work, ensure that the saw blade is set to cut in the correct direction, securely fastened, sharp and is compatible
9
with the machine, spindle speed and the material to be cut. Never use a saw blade if damaged, bent or warped. Use only
recommended saw blades.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine and the vicinity before switching on.
9
Machine operators must have received sufficient training and instructions relating to the dangers associated with the machine, the
9
precautions to be observed and those requirements of the Wood Working Machines Regulations which apply. Inexperienced
operators must be under the adequate supervision of a person who has a thorough knowledge and experience of the machine and the
required guards.
DO NOT operate the saw if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause product failure and/or personal injury.
8
DO NOT operate the saw when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8
When not in use, switch off the saw and unplug from the power supply.
9
WARNING! Wear approved safety eye protection, ear defenders and respiratory protection.
‰
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
9
Keep hands and body clear of the blade when operating the saw.
9
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
9
Avoid unintentional starting and never leave the saw operating unattended.
9
DO NOT use the saw for a task it is not designed to perform and ensure that operators are trained to use the saw.
8
DO NOT get the saw wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
8
DO NOT use the saw where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases such as paint solvents and including waste cleaning rags etc.
8
Connect to a suitable extraction system. Failure to do so will result in the build-up of sawdust which will become a fire hazard.
9
Keep riving knife and blade guard in place and operational, and replace table insert when worn.
9
Ensure that the saw blade is suitable for the material to be cut.
9
WARNING! Before each use, check that the saw blade is secure and not worn or damaged.
‰
Make sure that the saw table is clear of tools, waste wood etc. before starting the saw.
9
Make sure that the blade is not touching the guard, riving knife or workpiece before starting the saw.
9
Use the blade guard for all "through-sawing" operations. Through-sawing operations are those where the blade cuts through the
9
workpiece completely as in ripping or cross-cutting.
Check workpiece to ensure that there are no nails or other items which may foul the saw blade.
9
Hold the work firmly against the fence bar.
9
Only feed the workpiece into the blade against the rotation of the blade.
9
Avoid subjecting the saw blade to excessive strain - never force the workpiece. Maintain a controlled, steady progression.
9
Should the saw blade jam, switch the power off immediately to prevent damage to the motor.
9
To avoid "kickback" (when a workpiece is violently thrown back towards the operator) implement the following:
9
a)
Keep the blade sharp.
b)
Keep the fence parallel to the saw blade.
DO NOT release the workpiece before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade.
c)
d)
DO NOT rip work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
Use a push stick for ripping narrow workpieces.
9
Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.
9
DO NOT use your hands alone ("free-hand") to guide the workpiece. Hold work firmly against the fence bar to guide work through the saw.
8
DO NOT place yourself in an awkward operating position where a slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.
8
DO NOT stand, or have any part of your body, in line with the path of the saw blade.
8
DO NOT use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.
8
DO NOT hold what will become the off-cut (the waste part of the workpiece).
8
DO NOT attempt to cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally.
8
DO NOT attempt to remove waste material whilst the saw is running.
8
WARNING! DO NOT reach behind or over the saw blade.
‰
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to free a jammed saw blade without first switching off and removing the plug from the electric power supply.
‰
DO NOT cut metals or substances that may produce toxic dust. Saw must only be used to cut wood or wood derived materials.
8
DO NOT attempt to cut round section wood.
8
DO NOT use solvents to clean plastic parts. Use a soft damp cloth only.
8
Store saw and blades in a safe, dry childproof location.

GUARDING RELATED WARNINGS
1.3.1.
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning
correctly must be repaired or replaced.
1.3.2.
Always use saw blade guard and riving knife for every through–cutting operation. For through-cutting operations where the saw blade
cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury.
1.3.3.
Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation which requires removal of the guard and riving knife. The
guard and riving knife help to reduce the risk of injury.
1.3.4.
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact
of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
1.3.5.
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife
ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
1.3.6.
For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too
short to be engaged with the riving knife. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife.
1.3.7.
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the
appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the
saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
1.4.
CUTTING PROCEDURES WARNINGS
DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct
▲
your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
