Function of stick: When cutting wood, use stick to push wood to adjoin to
the table , to avoid hurt hands.
Operation method: When cutting smaller wood with fence, user can't
push wood by hand directly, but use stick to lock top corner of wood as
below picture.
Down to push forward and push wood to adjoin to the table , go forward
along fence. After cutting, push wood off from the table. Pls notice that
sawed off wood should be pushed off table by push stick instead of by
hand.
Additional safety warning for construction dust
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1st October
2012 now also targets to reduce the risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum
dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this because of the dust
that they breathe: silica dust is not just a nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things like sand, sandstone
and granite. It is also commonly found in many construction materials such as
concrete and mortar. The silica is broken into very fine dust (also known as
Respirable Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as cutting,
drilling and grinding
Breathing in very fine particles of crystalline silica can lead to the development
of:Lung cancer Silicosis
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD)
And breathing in fine particles of wood dust can lead to the development of Asthma
The risk of lung disease is linked to people who regularly breathe construction dust
over a period of time, not on the odd occasion.
To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on the amount of these
dusts that you can breathe (called a Workplace Exposure Limit or WEL) when
averaged over a normal working day. These limits are not a large amount of dust:
when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch of salt:
This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe after the right controls
have been used.
How to reduce the amount of dust?
1 Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of building products.
2 Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of angle grinder.
3 Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using a nail gun to direct fasten
cable trays instead of drilling holes first.
Please always work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that specially designed to filter out microscopic particles and use the dust
extraction facility at all time.
For more information please see the HSE website:

Warning:Some dust partcles created by power
sanding,sawing,grinding,drill and other construction jobs contain
chemicals konwn to cause cancer,birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Some examples of these chemcais are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
Crystaline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk from these exposure varies,depending upon how often you do this
ytpe pf work.To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well-ventilated area.
Work with approved safety equipment,such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filiter microscopic particles.
