GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
When using electric tools basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Read all these instructions before attempting to
operate your product. Save these instructions for
future reference.
■
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
dust or fumes.
■
Children and pets should be kept at a safe distance
from area
■
Avoid wearing loose clothing, jewellery or anything
that could get caught in moving parts. Long hair
should be tied back. Use of safety goggles is
recommended (normal glasses are not sufficient for
eye protection). Face or dust masks should be used if
dust is produced or working overhead. Ear protection
is advised during periods of extended operation.
■
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times; wear oil-resistant rubber footwear. Keep
floor clear of oil, scrap and other debris.
■
Do not force the tool. Do not attempt to use the tool
for a purpose for which it was not designed. The tool
will give much better service if you do not use
excessive force.
■
Disconnect the plug when not in use, or when
changing accessories, making adjustments, cleaning
or working on tool. Always unplug when leaving the
tool unattended. All tools should be kept out of the
reach of children when not in use. Do not expose the
tool to rain and moisture.
■
Only use accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer of your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
■
Guard against electric shocks – avoid body contact
with earthed surface (e.g. radiators, pipes,
dishwashers, refrigerators). Hold the tool by insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
■
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
■
Avoid accidental start-ups, make sure that the power
switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in the power
■
Maintain tools properly. Always keep tools clean and
in good working order. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
■
Check damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, improper mounting, or any other condition that
may affect the tools operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
■
Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents
could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the
material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to
clean plastic parts.
■
Always use in a well ventilated area. Remove
sawdust frequently. Clean out sawdust from the
interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire hazard.
■
Despite the machine being operated in conformity with
the intended conditions of use and under observance
of all relevant safety regulations, due to the design
required by the nature of work to be carried out with it,
some residual risks remain possible. These risks
including contact with the revolving blade in the cutting
area, kickback of the workpiece or parts thereof,
breaking of the saw blade with the broken parts being
ejected from the machine, contact with live parts when
checking electrical components opened for inspection,
emission of harmful wooden dusts when operated
without a dust collector.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
TABLE SAW
■
Do not use saw blades which are damaged
or deformed.
■
Replace table insert when worn.
■
Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer.
■
When changing the saw blade beware that the width
of the groove cut of the saw blades shall not be less
than and the thickness of the body of the saw blade
shall not be more than the thickness of the riving knife.
■
Take care that the selection of the saw blade is
suitable for the material to be cut.
■
Wear suitable personal protective equipment when
necessary, this could include:
- hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced
hearing loss,
