7. Use the right tool - Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not
use tools for purposes not intended; for example do not use circular saws to cut tree
limbs or logs
8. Dress appropriately
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught in moving parts
- Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
- Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9. Use protective equipment
-Use safety glasses
-Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can cause personal
injury or increase the severity of an injury.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used
11. Do not abuse the power cable - Never yank the power cable to disconnect it from
the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Damaged or
entangled power cables increase the risk of electric shock
12. Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hand
13. Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14. Maintain tools with care
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control and less likely to
bind or lock in the workpiece
- Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an
authorized service facility
- Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15. Disconnect tools - When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer
may result in a risk of injury to persons.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching it on
17. Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off' position when connecting to a
mains socket or inserting a battery pack, or when picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18. Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for outdoor use and so marked. Use of an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock
19. Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you
are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
20. Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, 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 an
authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not turn it on and off. The switch
must be repaired before the tool is used.
21. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies with the
relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons, otherwise
this may result in considerable danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised service centre.
22. Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce risk of electric shock
23. If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is
ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA
or less.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for
the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
Polarized Plugs (for North America only) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
Table Saw Safety
WARNING: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment, including but not limited to
eye protection, ear defenders, a suitable dust mask and suitable gloves when using
a saw table. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area use adequate protection.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away.
WARNING: ALWAYS connect the dust extraction port on the blade guard to a suitable
vacuum dust extraction system. Certain types of wood are toxic or may cause
allergic reactions in people and animals, especially when exposed to very fine dust.
ALWAYS wear appropriate respiratory protection in addition to vacuum dust extraction.
a) ONLY fit circular saws that are listed as compatible in 'Specifications' to the saw
table. ONLY use compatible saw blades, ensuring that the riving knife is not thicker
than the blade kerf, and not thinner than the saw blade.
b) ENSURE the work area is safe and sufficiently lightened, without obstructions,
trip hazards or any other potential dangers.
c) NEVER attempt to cut metals or drywall products containing masonry with
this table saw. It is exclusively designed for use with wood and materials of a similar
consistency.
d) DO NOT attempt to use a molding head with this saw table. The compatible circular
saws and the table set-up are not suitable for this kind of cutting.
e) ALWAYS ensure the work area is well ventilated. Remove sawdust frequently and
clean out sawdust from the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard.
f) NEVER attempt to remove wood fragments or dust from the blade with hands
whilst the blade is spinning. ALWAYS switch the saw off, disconnect the machine from
the power supply, and wait until the blade has come to a standstill. ALWAYS use cut-
proof gloves when touching the saw blade to avoid injury.
g) NEVER leave the saw running unattended. After switching off, DO NOT leave the saw
table until the blade has come to a complete stop.
h) CAREFULLY read the instructions listed in 'Kickback Prevention' and follow these
recommendations when using a saw table.
i) ALWAYS feed the workpiece into the blade AGAINST the direction of rotation.
The feed direction is indicated by the arrow moulded into the table surface.
j) ALWAYS use the parallel fence when making rip cuts. Ensure the fence is parallel to
the blade, it MUST NOT be angled towards the blade, and securely lock the fence at
both ends.
k) ALWAYS secure the workpiece firmly against the rip fence or mitre gauge. NEVER
use the rip fence during the same operation as the mitre gauge.
l) NEVER remove the blade guard or riving knife. Riving knives are also known under
the term 'spreaders'.
m) ALWAYS use a push stick when ripping narrow workpieces, so your hand does
not come close to the saw blade. The push stick must ALWAYS be narrower than
the workpiece to prevent the push stick from coming into contact with the blade. Use
a featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts. Store the push stick with the saw
when not in use.
n) NEVER perform free-hand operations, and only support the workpiece with your
hands. ALWAYS use either the rip fence or a mitre fence to position and guide the work.
o) NEVER reach behind, over, or within 75mm (3") of the blade, with either hand, for
any reason.
p) ALWAYS move the rip fence out of the way when making cross cuts. NEVER use rip
fence as cut-off gauge when cross cutting.
q) NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade with the saw switched on. ALWAYS
switch off and disconnect the machine from the power supply.
r) ALWAYS support large workpieces on the in-feed and out-feed sides of the
saw table, and where necessary, also to the sides. Use roller supports or saw horses
wherever possible.
s) NEVER let go of the workpiece before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade,
using a push stick where necessary.
t) AVOID irregularly shaped workpieces that do not have a straight edge to guide
along the rip fence.
u) DO NOT cut round stock with table saws. DO NOT use table saws to cut logs or
firewood.
v) ALWAYS avoid awkward operations and hand positions, where a sudden slip could
cause your hand or other parts of your body to come into contact with the blade.
w) INSPECT the throat plate before use. Replace throat plates that are damaged or worn.
x) ONLY use accessories listed in this manual, to be compatible with the saw table.
The use of incompatible accessories may inherently be dangerous and lead to
severe injury or property damage. ALWAYS follow all safety instructions and safe usage
procedures, provided with the accessory.
