• Use extra caution when cutting a work-
piece that is twisted, knotted, warped
or does not have a straight edge to
guide it with a mitre gauge or along the
fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted
workpiece is unstable and causes mis-
alignment of the kerf with the saw blade,
binding and kickback.
• Never cut more than one workpiece,
stacked vertically or horizontally. The
saw blade could pick up one or more
pieces and cause kickback.
• When restarting the saw with the saw
blade in the workpiece, centre the saw
blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth
are not engaged in the material. If the
saw blade binds, it may lift up the work-
piece and cause kickback when the saw
is restarted.
• Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and
with sufficient set. Never use warped
saw blades or saw blades with cracked
or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set
saw blades minimise binding, stalling and
kickback.
Table saw operating procedure
warnings
• Turn off the table saw and disconnect
the power cord when removing the
table insert, changing the saw blade or
making adjustments to the riving knife,
antikickback device or saw blade
guard, and when the machine is left
unattended. Precautionary measures
will avoid accidents.
• Never leave the table saw running
unattended. Turn it off and don't leave
the tool until it comes to a complete
stop. An unattended running saw is an
uncontrolled hazard.
• Locate the table saw in a well-lit and
level area where you can maintain
good footing and balance. It should be
installed in an area that provides
enough room to easily handle the size
of your workpiece. Cramped, dark
areas, and uneven slippery floors invite
accidents.
• Frequently clean and remove sawdust
from under the saw table and/or the
dust collection device. Accumulated
sawdust is combustible and may self-
ignite.
• The table saw must be secured. A
table saw that is not properly secured may
move or tip over.

• Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from
the table before the table saw is turned
on. Distraction or a potential jam can be
dangerous.
• Always use saw blades with correct
size and shape (diamond versus
round) of arbour holes. Saw blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of
the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of
control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect saw
blade mounting means such as
flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or
nuts. These mounting means were spe-
cially designed for your saw, for safe oper-
ation and optimum performance.
• Never stand on the table saw, do not
use it as a stepping stool. Serious
injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
• Make sure that the saw blade is
installed to rotate in the proper direc-
tion. Do not use grinding wheels, wire
brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table
saw. Improper saw blade installation or
use of accessories not recommended
may cause serious injury.
Additional safety instructions
• Replace the table insert when worn.
• Check the electrical tool for possible
damage. Before further use of the electri-
cal tool you must check the safety equip-
ment or slightly damaged parts for correct
and proper functioning.
• Secure the workpiece. Use the clamp-
ing device or a vice to hold the workpiece.
This holds the workpiece more firmly than
holding it by hand.
• Only use saw blades whose highest per-
missible speed is not lower than the max-
imum spindle speed of the circular saw
bench and that are suitable for the mate-
rial to be cut.
• Only use the transport facilities when
transporting or handling the machine,
never the safety equipment.
• Do not use guards for handling or trans-
portation.
• During transport cover the upper part of
the sawblade, for example with the guard.
• Do not allow other persons especially chil-
dren to touch the electrical tool or cable.
• Do not rebate or groove or slot.
• Do not use the saw for rebating or groov-
ing.
