6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS
6.1
For both Mitre saw mode and table saw (bench saw) mode:
▪
Wear eye and hearing protection. Other suitable personal protective equipment should be
worn.
▪
NEVER wear gloves during operation except for replacing saw blades or handling rough
material before operation.
▪
Keep the floor area around the tool level, well maintained and free of loose materials e.g.
chips and cut-offs.
▪
Do not operate saw without guards and riving knife in place. Check blade guards for
proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if blade guards do not move freely
and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guards into the open position. Any
irregular operation of the blade guards should be corrected immediately.
▪
Clean and be careful not to damage the spindle, flanges (especially the installing surface)
and hex bolt before or when installing the blade. Damage to these parts could result in
blade breakage. Poor installation may cause vibration/ wobbling or slippage of the blade.
Use only flanges specified for this tool.
▪
Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Do not use saw blade
which are damaged or deformed.
▪
Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer and which conform to EN847-1,
and observe that the riving knife must not be thicker than the width of the cut by the saw
blade and not thinner than the body of the blade.
▪
Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such
as abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.
▪
Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.
▪
Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed steel.
▪
To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean.
▪
Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw
blade.
▪
Do not cut metals such as nails and screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and
other foreign matter from the workpiece before operation.
▪
Knock out any loose knots from workpiece BEFORE beginning to cut.
▪
Don’t use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
▪
For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces, etc. from the work area and table top
before plugging the tool and starting operation.
▪
The operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the tool.
▪
Keep hands and make your bystander and yourself position out of path of and not in line
with saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It can still cause severe injury and
never reach around saw blade.
▪
Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don't be lulled
into false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.
▪
Make sure the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.
▪
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation or poorly balanced blade.
▪
Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
▪
The tool should not be used for slotting, rabbetting or grooving.
▪
Retain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the tool is running and the saw head is not in the rest position.
▪
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
▪
Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.
