Health & Safety Guidance
READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLY,
INSTALLATION AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
SAFE OPERATION
1. Eye Protection
The operation of any power tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety glasses or other suitable eye protection. Wear
safety glasses at all times. Everyday glasses only have impact resistant lenses.
They are not safety glasses which give additional lateral protection. It is also
important to wear ear protectors when operating the table saw.
2. Keep work area clear.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents and injuries.
3. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose the machine to rain or damp conditions.
• Keep the work area well lit.
• Do not use the machine in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
4. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
5. Keep other persons away (and pets).
Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work, touch the
machine, or extension cord (if used) and keep visitors away from the work
area.
6. Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, locked- up place, out of reach
of children.
7. Do not force the machine.
It will do the job better and work more safely if operated at the speed at
which it was intended.
8. Use the right tool.
• Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
• Do not use tools for purposes other than those for which they were
intended.
9. Dress properly.
• Non-slip footwear is recommended.
• Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in
moving parts.
• Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
10. Use protective equipment
• Use safety glasses. (See note 1. above)
• Use face or dust shield if cutting operation creates dust.
• Use ear plugs or ear defenders when the machine is in use
11. Connect dust extraction equipment.
(See section 9, page 22)
12. Do not abuse the cord.
Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Secure work.
Ensure that your work piece is properly held before
starting to cut.
15. Maintain tools with care.
• Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories.
• Inspect electric cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an
authorized service facility or qualified electrician.
• Inspect extension cords (if used) periodically and replace if damaged. Always
use properly rated extension cord.
16. Disconnect Machine.
When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc. disconnect the
machine from the power supply.
17. Never leave machine running unattended.
Turn power off, do not leave machine until it comes to a complete stop.
18. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
ENSURE that all adjusting wrenches and keys are removed before switching
the machine 'ON'.
19. Avoid unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the "STOP" position before turning on the power from
the main electricity supply. Your Record Table saw already incorporates low
voltage protection. This means the machine will not automatically start up
after say a power cut, unless you first reset the start switch.
20. Out-door Extension Leads.
Your machine should not be used outdoors.
21. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not use the machine
when you are tired.
22. Check for damaged parts.
• Before use of the machine, it should be carefully checked to determine that
it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
• Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by a qualified person unless otherwise indicated in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by a qualified person.
• Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn on and off.
23. Warning!
• The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those recommended in
this instruction manual, or recommended by our Company may present a risk
of personal injury.
24. Have your machine repaired by a qualified person.
• This electric machine complies with the relevant safety rules. Only qualified
persons using original spare parts should carry out repairs. Failure to do this
may result in considerable danger to the user.
25. This machine is designed for cutting wood.
• Do not use for cutting any material other than wood.
