1.2 General Health & Safety Guidance

Ensure that you carefully read and fully understand the 
instructions in this manual before assembly, installation and use 
of this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place for  
future reference.
WARNING: 

for your own safety, do not attempt to operate this machine 

until it is completely assembled and installed according to  
these instructions.

WARNING:

  When using any machine, basic safety precautions should 

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and  
personal injury.

Safe Operation
1. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

 

•   The operation of any machine can result in foreign objects being thrown 

into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Protective eyewear 
or other suitable eye protection or face shield should be used at all times. 
Everyday spectacles only have impact resistant lenses. They are not 
protective eyewear and do not give additional lateral protection.

•   Use respiratory protective equipment (dust mask etc.) if the machining 

operation creates dust. Exposure to high levels of dust created by 
machining hardwoods, softwoods and man made composite boards can 
result in serious health problems. Some imported hardwoods give off 
highly irritating dust, which can cause a burning sensation. The use of 
respiratory protective equipment should not be seen as an alternative to 
controlling the risk of exposure at source by using adequate dust  

extraction equipment. 

•   The use of ear plugs or ear defenders is recommended when the machine 

is in use, particularly if the noise level exceeds 85 dB.

•   Wear suitable protective gloves when handling cutting tools or blades. 

Gloves should NOT be worn when using the machine as they can be 
caught in moving parts of the machine.

•   Non-slip safety footwear is recommended when using the machine and 

handling large work pieces.

2. Dress appropriately

 

•   Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in 

moving parts of the machine.

•  Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
•  Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

3. Safety warnings

 

•  Find and read any warning labels on the machine.
•   It is important that any labels bearing health and safety warnings are 

not removed, defaced or covered. Replacement labels can be obtained by 
contacting our Customer Service Department.

4. Familiarise yourself with the machine

 

•   If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine, 

obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person or 
contact your retailer for information on training courses. Do not use this 
machine until adequate training has been undertaken.
