Normal use and
prohibited use
CIRCULAR SAW
The table saw assembly is designed for the following working processes and equipped with protective
devices. It is not designed to work materials such as ferrous or non-ferrous materials, and therefore
tasks that differ from the ones stated below are prohibited.
– Ripping with the parallel saw fence with/without tilted saw blade with the fence upright or in the low
position.
– Right-angled or mitre cuts with the 90° fence mounted to the sliding table with tilted or vertical saw
blade.
– Cross cutting work pieces with the adjustable stop on the 90° fence.
– Cutting panels or solid wood on the sliding table.
PROHIBITED USE
Following tasks are prohibited on the table saw:
– submerged cuts by removing the riving knife and/or guard;
– all types of cuts without using the table saw fence, the 90° fence or sliding table;
– cutting large work pieces that exceed the table capacity without using aids such as roll supports.
REMAINING RISKS
Main risks on a table saw are:
– unintentional contact of the hands with the running saw blade;
– work piece kickback;
– tipping of the work piece due to insufficient support.
MOULDER-SHAPER
The sharper assembly is designed for the following tasks and equipped with protective devices. Other
tasks than listed below are therefore prohibited.
– mould and form straight and curved pieces on the vertical spindle;
– shaping of curved work pieces using a ring guard fence;
– mortising, tenoning and panel edge shaping using corresponding safety devices.
PROHIBITED USE
The following tasks are prohibited on the moulder-shaper unit:
– down-cut shaping, i.e. when feed and tool rotation direction is the same;
– slotting with saw blades;
– using tool diameters which are not adapted to the spindle by using reducing sleeves;
– using larger tool diameters and higher speeds than the shown in the diameter-speed diagram;
– the use of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
REMAINING RISKS
Spindle shapers are one the main causes of injuries in woodworking. Nearly all accidents result in
hand injuries. They are due to contact with the rotating tool when the work piece is fed by hand and
kickback occurs to sudden forward movement of the work piece.
The main danger areas on the shaper-moulder are:
– the working area;
– the moving machine and tool parts;
– the kickback area.
