SAFETY GUIDELINES
Please read and ensure that you understand all of the operating instructions, safety precautions and warnings in this
Instruction Manual before operating or maintaining this equipment. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing
a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing appropriate safety procedures. Hazards that
must be avoided to prevent bodily injury or machine damage are identified by warnings on the equipment and in this
Instruction Manual. Never use this equipment or modify it in any way that has not been specifically recommended by
the manufacturer. Contact Jefferson Tools for all information relating to the repair and maintenance of this equipment.
Contact a qualified electrician for advice on any issues relating to electrical safety in your working environment.
Electrical Safety
Ensure that you check the equipment thoroughly to ensure it is safe and fit for purpose before each use. It is important
that you inspect all plugs, sockets, power cables and electrical fittings for wear and damage and repair or replace any
defective components. The risk of electric shock can be minimised by the correct use of the appropriate electrical safety
devices.
• We recommend that you fit a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) in the main distribution board and that a Residual Current Device
(RCD) is used when operating this equipment.
• The Electricity at Work Act 1989 includes legislation that places legal implications on employers to ensure the safety of electrical devices in
the workplace. The regulations dictate that all portable equipment must be inspected regularly and tested to ensure that it is safe for use.
'Portable equipment' means any electrical item that can be moved and this is often referred to as Portable Appliance Testing (PAT). PAT
testing should be carried out regularly on this equipment by trained, authorised personnel, as required by the legislation.
• The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that it is the responsibility of the owner of electrical appliances to ensure that both the
equipment and working environments are maintained to ensure safe operation at all times.
• Check that all equipment cables are secure, correctly insulated, free from damage, and protected against short circuit and overload before
connecting to the power supply. Do not use worn or damaged cables, plugs, sockets or other fittings.
• Ensure that the power supply matches voltage requirements specified on the equipment and that the plug is wired correctly and fitted with
the correct fuse.
• If the electrical fuse blows, ensure it is replaced by an identical type of fuse with the same rating.
• Never pull or manoeuvre this equipment into position using the power cable.
• Ensure the power cable is kept away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• We recommend that the equipment is connected directly to the power supply without the use of extension leads as the resulting voltage drop
can reduce motor performance.
• Always disconnect the equipment from the power source before servicing, inspecting, maintaining, cleaning, replacing or checking any parts.
Safe Outdoor Use: For your protection if this tool is to be used outdoors it should not be exposed to rain, or used in damp locations. Do not place
the tool on damp surfaces. Use a clean, dry workbench if available. For added protection use a residual current device (R.C.D.) that will interrupt
the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms. Always check the operation of the residual current device (R.C.D.) before using
the machine. If an extension cable is required it must be a suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled. The manufacturer’s instructions should
be followed when using an extension cable.
Vibration Safety
When using this machine the operator can be exposed to high levels of vibration transmitted to the hand and arm. It is possible that the operator
could develop “Vibration white finger disease” (also know as "Raynaud syndrome"). This condition can reduce the sensitivity of the hand to
temperature as well as producing general numbness. Prolonged or regular users of this machine should monitor the condition of their hands
and fingers closely. If any of the symptoms become evident, seek immediate medical advice. The measurement and assessment of human
exposure to hand-transmitted vibration in the workplace is given in: BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002. Many factors can
influence the actual vibration level during operation e.g. the work surfaces condition and orientation and the type and condition of the machine
being used. Before each use, such factors should be assessed, and where possible appropriate working practices adopted. Managing the followig
factors can help reduce the effects of vibration when using this equipment:
Handling
• Handle the machine with care, allowing the machine to do the work.
• Avoid using excessive physical effort on any of the machine’s controls.
• Consider your security and stability, and the orientation of the machine during use.
Work Surface
Consider the work surface material; its condition, density, strength, rigidity and orientation before operation. Ensure that the saw is setup to work
on a strong, stable, clean work surface.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used. The need to identify safety measures and to protect the operator are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account all parts of the operating cycle, such as the times the tool is switched off, when it is running idle, in addition to trigger time).
