2. INTRODUCTION & DESCRIPTION
 WARNING! Wear approved safety eye protection, ear defenders and respiratory protection.
 remove ill fitting clothing. remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
 Keep hands and body clear of the blade when operating the saw.
 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
 Avoid unintentional starting and never leave the saw operating unattended.
 DO NOT use the saw for a task it is not designed to perform and ensure that operators are trained to use the saw.
 DO NOT get the saw wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
 DO NOT use the saw where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases such as paint solvents and including waste cleaning rags etc.
1.3. SPECIFIC SAW SAFETY RULES
 connect to a suitable extraction system. failure to do so will result in the build-up of sawdust which will become a fire hazard.
 Keep riving knife and blade guard in place and operational, and replace table insert when worn.
 Ensure that the saw blade is suitable for the material to be cut.
 WARNING! Before each use, check that the saw blade is secure and not worn or damaged.
 use the blade guard for all “through-sawing” operations. through-sawing operations are those where the blade cuts through the
workpiece completely as in ripping or cross-cutting.

check workpiece to ensure that there are no nails or other items which may foul the saw blade.
 Hold the work firmly against the fence bar.
 only feed the workpiece into the blade against the rotation of the blade.
 Avoid subjecting the saw blade to excessive strain - never force the workpiece. Maintain a controlled, steady progression.
 should the saw blade jam, switch the power off immediately to prevent damage to the motor.
 to avoid “kickback” (when a workpiece is violently thrown back towards the operator) implement the following:
a) Keep the blade sharp. b) Keep the fence parallel to the saw blade. c) DO NOT release the workpiece before it is pushed all the way
past the saw blade. d) DO NOT rip work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
 use a push stick for ripping narrow stock.
 Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.
 DO NOT use your hands alone (“free-hand”) to guide the workpiece. Hold work firmly against the fence bar to guide work through the saw.
 DO NOT place yourself in an awkward operating position where a slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.
 DO NOT stand, or have any part of your body, in line with the path of the saw blade.
 DO NOT use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.
 DO NOT hold what will become the off-cut (the waste part of the workpiece).
 WARNING! DO NOT reach behind or over the saw blade.
 WARNING! DO NOT attempt to free a jammed saw blade without first switching off and removing the plug from the mains power supply
and ensure that the blade has come to a complete stop.

DO NOT cut metals or substances that may produce toxic dust. saw must only be used to cut wood or wood derived materials.
 DO NOT attempt to cut round section wood.
 DO NOT use solvents to clean plastic parts. use a soft damp cloth only.
 store saw and blades in a safe, dry childproof location.
