GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term "power tool" in
the warnings refers to your electric (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

TS254SW 02
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b) If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
6. Battery Tool Use and Care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury or fire.

TS254SW 03
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
c) When Battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal object
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) User abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; Avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with copious
amounts of water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from
the batter may cause irritation or burns.
7. Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
a) Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metals can be harmful to one’s health and
cause allergic reactions, leading to respiratory
infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
b) Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dusts can easily ignite.
8. Additional Safety Warnings for Table
Saws
a) Never stand on the power tool. Serious
injuries can occur when the power tool tips over
or when inadvertently coming into contact with
the saw blade.
b) Take care that the blade guard operates
properly and can move freely. Always adjust the
blade guard in such a manner that it faces
loosely against the work piece when sawing.
Never clamp the blade guard when it is open.
c) Never reach behind the saw blade in order to
hold the work piece, remove saw dust/wood
chips or for any other reason. The clearance of
your hand to the rotating saw blade is too small.
d) Guide the work piece against the saw blade
only when the machine is switched on. Otherwise
there is damage of kickback, when the saw blade
becomes wedged in the work piece.
e) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
f) Operate the power tool only when the work
area to the work piece is clear of any adjusting
tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of wood or
other objects that come in contact with the
rotating saw blade can strike the operator with
high speed.
g) Only saw one work piece at a time. Work
pieces placed on top or aside of each other can
cause the saw blade to jam or the work pieces to
move against each other while sawing.
h) Always use the parallel guide or the angle
guide. This improves the cutting accuracy and
reduces the possibility of saw blade binding.
i) Use the machine for grooving or rebating only
with an appropriately suitable protective device
(e. g. a tunnel blade guard).
j) Do not use the machine for cutting slots
(stopped grooves).
k) Use the machine only for cutting the materials
listed under Intended Use. Otherwise, the
machine can be subject to overload.

TS254SW 04
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
l) If the saw blade should become jammed,
switch the machine off and hold the work piece
until the saw blade comes to a complete stop.
To prevent kickback, the work piece may not be
moved until after the machine has come to a
complete stop. Correct the cause for the
jamming of the saw blade before restarting the
machine.
m) Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged
saw blades. Unsharpened or improperly set saw
blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
n) Always use saw blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
Saw blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
o) Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
p) Do not touch the saw blade after working
before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes
very hot while working.
q) Never operate the machine without the
insert plate. Replace a defective insert plate.
Without flawless insert plates, injuries are
possible from the saw blade.
r) Check the cable regularly and have a
damaged cable repaired only through an
authorised customer service agent. Replace
damaged extension cables. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
s) Store the machine in a safe manner when not
being used. The storage location must be dry
and lockable. This prevents the machine from
storage damage, and from being operated by
untrained persons.
s) Never leave the machine before it has come to
a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still
running can cause injuries.
t) Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
9. Using an Extension Cable.
a) If an extension cable is required, use an
approved triple core extension cable suitable for
the power input of the tool.
b) Grounded tools always require a three wire
extension cable.
c) As the distance from the supply outlet
increases you must use a heavier gauge extension
cable. Using extension cables with inadequately
sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage.
d) The smaller the gauge number of the wire the
greater the capacity of the cord.
e) When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.

TS254SW 15
OPERATION
Push stick
The device used to feed the work-piece through
the saw during narrow ripping cuts. The push
stick helps to keep the operator’s hands well
away from the blade. Use the push stick for
ripping widths less than 6”(150mm) and more
than 2”(50mm).
Basic table saw operations
a. When crosscutting, mitre cutting, bevel cutting,
compound mitre cutting or rebating across the
end of a narrow work-piece, use the mitre gauge.
b. Never make these cuts freehand (not using the
mitre gauge or other devices)because the blade
could bind, causing a kickback or causing your
hand or fingers to contact the blade.
c. Always lock the angle of the mitre gauge when
in use.
d. Except for when making rip cuts, remove the rip
fence from the table.
e. Make sure the blade guard is mounted for all
through sawing operations(the blade cuts through
the entire thickness of the wood). Re-attach the
guard immediately after finishing dado, molding or
rebating cuts.
f. The blade should extend approximately 1/8”
(3mm) above the top of the work-piece.
g. Use the push stick whenever you make a narrow
cut.
Crosscutting
Crosscutting is cutting wood across the grain at
90°or square with both the edge and the flat side
of the wood. This is done with the mitre gauge set
at “0”. Before using the mitre gauge, make sure it
is locked. The mitre gauge can be used in either of
the grooves in the table.

TS254SW 16
OPERATION
Mitre crosscutting
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the wood at an
angle other than 90°. Follow the same
procedures as you would for crosscutting. Adjust
the mitre gauge to the desired angle.
Bevel crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting
except that the blade is also set at an angle other
than 90°. Adjust the blade to the desired angle
using the blade tilting wheel.
Compound mitre cutting
Compound mitre cutting is a combination of
mitre cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is
made at an angle other than 90° to both the
edge and the flat side of the wood. Adjust the
mitre gauge and the blade bevel to the desired
angle and be sure that the mitre gauge and
blade bevel adjustment lock are locked.
Ripping
Ripping is cutting a piece of wood with the grain. This is
down use the rip fence. Position the fence to the
desired width of the rip cut and lock it in place. Before
starting to rip,
make sure:
1. The rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
2. The splitter is properly aligned with the saw blade.
When ripping long boards or large panels, always use a
work-piece support. Hold the material to be cut against
the rip fence and feed it through the blade with
smooth, steady pressure.
Only apply feed pressure to the work-piece between
the blade and the rip fence in order to prevent the
work-piece from binding against the blade and causing
kickback.
When ripping boards narrower than 6”(150mm), use a
push stick to feed the work-piece until it is clear of the
table.
Bevel ripping
When bevel ripping material 6”(150mm) or narrower,
use the rip fence on the right side of the blade only.

TS254SW 17
OPERATION
Sawdust collection
This table saw is equipped with a removable sawdust
collector. A dust collection system (sold separately)
can be attached to the dust port to help remove
sawdust from the work area. To remove the sawdust
collector, simply loosen two nuts and remove the
collector from the saw.
Application cutting tips
1. Make sure the kerf is made on the scrap side of
the measuring line.
2. Cut the wood with the finished side up.
3. Always have a proper support for the wood as it
comes out of the blade.
4. Make a test cut for important cuts.
5. Always use the correct blade depth setting. The
top of the blade teeth should clear the top of the
material being cut by 1/8”(3mm) to 1/4”(6mm).
6. Inspect the work-piece for knots or nails before
beginning a cut.
7. Always use clean, sharp, properly-set blades.
Never make a cut with a dull blade.
8. When making a cut, use steady, even pressure.
Never force a cut.
9. DO NOT cut wet or warped lumber.
10. Always hold your work-piece firmly with both
hands or use a push stick or push block.

Working Advice
Working Advice
General Sawing Instructions
–For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the
saw blade at no time can come in contact with
the stops or other machine parts.
–Use the machine for grooving or rebating only
with an appropriately suitable protective device
(e. g. a tunnel blade guard).
–Do not use the machine for cutting slots
(stopped grooves).
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock.
Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
The riving knife must be in alignment with the
saw blade to avoid jamming of the work piece.
Do not saw warped/bent work pieces. The work
piece must always have a straight edge to face
against the parallel guide.
Always keep/store the push stick with the power
tool.
Position of the Operator
–Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in
front of the machine. Always stand aside of the
saw blade. This protects your body against
possible kickback.
–Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the
rotating saw blade.
Observe the following instructions:
–Hold the work piece securely with both hands
and press it firmly against the saw table.
–When sawing narrow work pieces and bevel
angles, always use the supplied hold-down stick.
–Hold the work piece securely with both hands
