• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or
as additional support for a work piece that is longer or wider than
the basic table, or to help feed, support, or pull the work piece.
• Do not attempt to machine more than one work piece at a time.
• When feeding the work piece towards the blade or cutting tool
never position your hands in direct line of the cutting path. Avoid
awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand or fingers to move into the machining area.
23. Stay alert
• Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at
all times when the machine is being used.
• Use all machines with extreme care and do not use the machine
when you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
24. Use the correct tool for the job
• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than which it
was designed.
• When selecting replacement cutting tools and blades, always ensure
that they are designed to cut the material that you intend to use
them for. If in any doubt seek further advice from the manufacturer.
25. Connect dust extraction equipment
• Always use dust extraction equipment. The dust extractor should be
of suitable size and capacity for the machine that it is connected to
and have a filtration level appropriate to the type of waste being
collected. Refer to the relevant section of the manual for details of
the specific dust extraction requirements for this machine.
• The dust extractor should be switched ‘ON’ before starting the
machine that it is connected to. The dust extractor should be
left running for 30 seconds after the last machining operation is
complete in order to clear any residual waste from the machine.
26. Ensure that the machine is correctly guarded
• Never use the machine if any of the standard safety guards and
equipment are removed or damaged.
• Some machines incorporate safety interlocks to prevent the
machine from being used without the guards in place. Never
attempt to bypass or modify the interlocks to allow the machine to
be used without the guards in place.
27. Maintain your machine with care
• This manual gives clear instructions on installation, set up and
operation of the machine and also details any routine and
preventative maintenance that should be performed periodically by
the user.
• Remember always to switch off and unplug the machine from the
power supply before carrying out any setting up or
maintenance operations.
• Follow any instructions for the maintenance of accessories
and consumables.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the machine. Always use a
brush to dislodge dust in places that are awkward to reach and a
dust extractor to collect the waste.
• Inspect electric cables periodically and, if damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised service facility or qualified electrician.
• Inspect extension cables (if used) periodically and replace
if damaged.
• It is normal for electric motors to become hot during use. Take
extreme care when working near the motor area. Allow the motor
to cool down before carrying out any maintenance.
28. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean
• Correctly maintained cutting tools are easier to control and less
likely to bind.
• Cutting tools and blades can become hot during use. Take extreme
care when handling them and always allow them to cool before
changing, adjusting or sharpening them.
29. Disconnect the machine from the power supply
• When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc. always
disconnect the machine from the power supply.
30. Check for damaged parts
• Before each use of the machine, 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 and any other conditions that may affect the
operation of the machine.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by a qualified person unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual.
• Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn the machine
‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.
• Have defective switches replaced by a qualified person.
31. Warning!
• The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those
recommended in this instruction manual, or recommended by our
Company may present a risk of personal injury or damage to the
machine and invalidation of the warranty.
32. Have your machine repaired by a qualified person
• This machine complies with the relevant safety rules and
standards appropriate to its type when used in accordance with
these instructions and with all of the standard safety guards and
equipment in place. Only qualified persons using original spare
parts should carry out repairs. Failure to do this may result in
considerable danger to the user and invalidation of warranty.
