SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BLADE SAFETY
WARNING: Rotating Saw Blades are extremely
dangerous and can cause serious injury and
amputation. Always keep fingers and hands at least
150mm (6”) away from the blade at all times. Never
attempt to retrieve sawn material until the cutting
head is in the raised position, the guard is fully closed
and the saw blade has stopped rotating. Only use saw
blades that are recommended by the manufacturer
and that comply with the requirements of EN 847-1
Do Not use saw blades that are damaged or
deformed as they could shatter and cause serious
injury to the operator or bystanders.
Do Not use saw blades that are manufactured from
high speed steel (HSS).
Do not stop the blade by forcing the machine or by
using sideways pressure.
Do not use blades that are deformed or have missing
teeth. This is highly dangerous and could result in a
serious accident to the operator and bystanders as
well as damaging the machine.
Do not use blades that are larger than specified, only
use blades that are rated for the machine. The
rotational speed (min
-1 ) shown on the blade should
always be HIGHER than the rotational speed (min -1 ) of
the machine.
Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade
corresponds with the rotational direction of the motor.
The teeth of the blade should always point downward
as viewed from the front of the saw.
If the table insert becomes damaged or worn it must
be replaced with an identical one available from the
manufacturer as detailed in this manual.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Hearing protection should be worn in order to reduce
the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to prevent the
possibility of the loss of sight from ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some wood
and wood type products especially MDF (Medium
Density Fibreboard) can produce dust that can be
hazardous to your health. We recommend the use of
an approved face mask with replaceable filters when
using this machine in addition to using the dust
extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades or
rough material. It is recommended that saw blades
should be carried in a holder wherever practical.
