Page: 10 / 144

● Make sure all locking knobs and handles are tight before
starting any operation.
● Never use your saw without the table insert.
● Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is
connected to the mains supply.
● Never attempt to stop the machine in motion rapidly by
jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious
accidents can be caused unintentionally in this way.
● Before using or fitting any accessory consult the
instruction manual. The improper use of an accessory can
cause damage.
● Do not use any abrasive discs.
● Raise the blade from the table insert in the workpiece prior
to releasing the on/of switch.
● Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the
motor shaft.
● The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when
the arm is brought down; it will lower over the blade when
the arm is raised. The guard can be raised by hand when
installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the
saw. Never raise the blade guard manually unless the
machine is switched off.
● Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and
free of chips.
● Do not work with material containing asbestos. Asbestos
is considered to be carcinogenic.
● Never make the warning signs on the power
tool unrecognisable.
● Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries could
occur when the power tool tips over or when coming in
contact with the saw blade.
● Do not take hold of the saw blade after working
before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot
while working.
● Advance the saw blade against the workpiece only when
it is switched on. Otherwise, the danger of kick-back exists
when the saw blade catches in the workpiece.
● The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those
recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury and/or damage to property.
● Never place hands near cutting area. Keep hands outside
the “No Hands Zone” which includes entire table and is
labelled by “No Hands” symbols.
● To avoid injury from materials being thrown, unplug
the saw to avoid accidental starting, and then remove
small materials.
● Before use and after any maintenance the blade guard
must be checked to ensure proper function. This test must
be performed with the saw switched off and unplugged.
The arm must be raised and lowered to ensure the guard
covers the blade and the blade does not contact the
guard. If the guard fails to operate correctly, have your
power tool serviced by a qualified repair agent.
● Call Stanley Fat Max customer services for you nearest
service agent.
Residual risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:

risks cannot be avoided. These are:
● Impairment of hearing.
● Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the
rotating saw blade.
● Risk of injury when changing the blade.
● Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
● Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
sawing wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
