Wear eye protection to reduce the risk of personal injury.
u
Use the dust bag provided when sawing wood.
u
Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
u
Do not operate the machine without the guard in position.
u
Do not operate the machine if the guard does not function
or is not maintained properly.
Before each cut ensure that the machine is stable.
u
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
u
Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained
u
and free of loose materials, e.g. chips and off-cuts.
Ensure the machine and the work area are provided with
u
adequate general or localised lighting.
Do not allow untrained people to operate this machine.
u
Ensure that the blade is mounted correctly before use.
u
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
Keep the blade sharp. Follow instruction for lubricating
and changing accessories.
Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least
u
equal to the speed marked on the saw.
Always unplug the machine before carrying out any
u
maintenance or when changing the blade.
Never perform any cleaning, maintenance, removal of any
u
off-cuts or other parts of the work piece from the cutting
area when the machine is running and the saw head is not
in the rest position.
Make sure all locking knobs and handles are tight before
u
starting any operation.
Never attempt to stop the machine in motion rapidly by
u
jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious
accidents can be caused unintentionally in this way.
Before using or fitting any accessory consult the instruc-
u
tion manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause
damage.
Never make the warning signs on the power tool unrecog-
u
nisable.
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries could
u
occur when the power tool tips over or when coming in
contact with the saw blade.
Do not take hold of the saw blade after working before it
u
has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while work-
ing.
To avoid injury from materials being thrown, unplug the
u
saw to avoid accidental starting, and then remove small
materials.
Make sure the riving knife is adjusted to the correct
u
distance from the blade.
Warning! Always check the Riving knife is locked in position
and aligned with the blade before each use and after any
maintenance.

(Original instructions)
Before use and after any maintenance the blade guard
u
must be checked to ensure proper function. This test
must be performed with the saw switched off and
unplugged. If the guard fails to operate correctly, have
your power tool serviced by a qualified repair agent. Call
BLACK+DECKER customer services for you nearest
service agent.
This table saw has been designed for sawing wood,
u
plastic and nonferrous metal only. Do not use the saw
to cut other materials than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
Do not take hold of the saw blade after working before it
u
has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while work-
ing.
@
Warning! Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and
other materials may cause melted material to
accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade,
increasing the risk of the blade overheating and binding while
cutting.

Residual risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
u
Impairment of hearing.
u
Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the
u
rotating saw blade.
Risk of injury when changing any parts, blades or acces-
u
sories.
Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
u
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
u
sawing wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
u
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
Noise
The declared noise emission values have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be used for
comparing one tool with another.
The declared noise emission values may also be used in a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The noise emissions during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared values depending
on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of
workpiece is processed.
Warning! Always wear proper personal hearing protec-
tion. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing loss. Be aware of the
following factors influencing exposure to noise:
