Specific Safety Precautions
7
Do not start the saw with the workpiece touching the
blade.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY NEVER
OPERATE THE TABLE SAW WITHOUT
THE RIVING KNIFE IN PLACE!
Do not commence sawing until the blade has run up to
full speed. After switching off, never try to slow the saw
down more quickly by applying side pressure (with a
piece of wood?) to the blade. Apply the old joiner’s adage
of never getting hands within one handbreadth of the
blade. Leave the machine disconnected from the mains
supply until you are about to commence work.
Always disconnect the machine if you are leaving it
unattended.
Never leave the vicinity of the machine unless the blade
has come to a complete stop.
Do not attempt to carry out any maintenance, corrective
work, setting up etc., unless the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply. If any tools have been used
during setting up procedures, make sure they are
removed from the machine and stowed safely away.
Do not attempt to carry out cross cutting operations
‘freehand’, always use the mitre fence for small material
and the sliding carriage for larger workpieces. Unless you
are an experienced machine operator, do not attempt to
‘rip’ freehand, always use the guiding facility of the rip
fence. It is perfectly acceptable to support, guide, and
feed the timber with your hands whilst ripping stuff of
some length, however, as you approach the blade ensure
that the push stick is to hand, and that you use it.
Remember the emphasis of the ‘push’ should be between
the blade and the fence and close to the fence. Use your
free hand to support and guide the material on the
offside of the saw blade and at least 100mm away from
it. If the timber does not extend to at least 100mm to the
offside of the saw blade, the material possibly does not
need guiding or supporting.
Check (especially on site), that there are no foreign
objects e.g. old nails, screws, small stones etc embedded
in the material you are about to cut. If necessary take a
wire brush to the timber before working.
