General Instructions for 230V Machines
6
The following will enable you to observe good working
practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain
your tools and equipment in good working order.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
OUT OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensuree that neither are
damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified person.
• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere within
a site area that is flooded.
• Keep machine clean.
• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to
commence.
• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the
cable.
• Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and the correct
speed and function set.
• Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.
• Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc. Wear ear defenders at all times.
• If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent
it being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.
• Consideration should be given to the removal of rings and
wristwatches.
• Consideration should also be given to non-slip
footwear etc.
• If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
suitably qualified to use it.
• Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted
• Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas
of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be
volatile gases.
• Check cutters are correct type and size, are undamaged
and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their
operating performance and lessen the loading on the
machine.
• OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening
around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
KEEP WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS
PRACTICAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS.
Specific Safety Precautions
Make sure the saw blade is the correct type for the job in hand.
Do not force the saw, if the saw begins to ‘stall’ you are ‘forcing
the cut’ or over working the saw. Ensure that the saw blade is
clean and sharp. Resin build up on the blades will increase the
friction of the saw passing through the timber, and cause over
heating of the blade, blunt teeth will work harder tearing
the fibre of the timber as opposed to shearing it, also with
subsequent overheating. Both faults unnecessarily load the
machine beyond normal usage, and shorten its longevity.
Do not use blades that are damaged in any way.
Do not remove the blade guard. The design of the riving knife
on the machine will not allow for slotting or ‘blind’ grooving,
so there is no reason to remove the guard. There is adequate
clearance under the guard for the capacity of the machine.
Do not use any blades that cut a smaller kerf than the
riving knife thickness. Make sure the riving knife is
correctly adjusted to the blade and is securely fastened.
If the table insert becomes damaged or broken, and will not
support the timber ‘up close’ to the blade, replace it.
Do not start the saw with the workpiece touching the blade.
Do not commence sawing until the blade has run up to full
speed. After switching off, never try to slow the saw down more
quickly by applying side pressure (with a piece of wood?) to
the blade. Apply the old joiner’s adage of never getting hands
within one handbreadth of the blade. Leave the machine
disconnected from the mains supply until you are about to
commence work.
Always disconnect the machine if you are leaving it
unattended.
Never leave the vicinity of the machine unless the blade has
come to a complete stop.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY NEVER
OPERATE THE TABLE SAW WITHOUT
THE RIVING KNIFE IN PLACE!
Do not attempt to carry out any maintenance, corrective work,
setting up etc., unless the machine is disconnected from the
mains supply. If any tools have been used during setting up
procedures, make sure they are removed from the machine and
stowed safely away.
