ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR CONSTRUCTION DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1st October
2012 now also targets to reduce the risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum
dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this because of the dust
that they breathe: silica dust is not just a nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things like sand, sandstone
MSTS1500-A by MacAllister Technical and legal
information EN

and granite. It is also commonly found in many construction materials such as
concrete and mortar. The silica is broken into very fine dust (also known
as Respirable Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as cutting,
drilling and grinding Breathing in very fine particles of crystalline silica can lead to
the development of:
Lung cancer Silicosis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (Chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) And breathing in fine particles of wood dust can lead
to the development of Asthma The risk of lung disease is linked to people who
regularly breathe construction dust over a period of time, not on the odd occasion.
To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on the amount of these
dusts that you can breathe (called a Workplace Exposure Limit or WEL)
when averaged over a normal working day. These limits are not a large amount of
dust: when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch of salt:
This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe after the right controls
have been used.
How to reduce the amount of dust?
1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of building products.
2. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of angle grinder.
3. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using a nail gun to direct fasten
cable trays instead of drilling holes first.
Please always work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that specially designed to filter out microscopic particles and use the dust extraction
facility at all time.
For more information please see the HSE website:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction or http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/cis69.pdf
Warning: Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drill and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help
reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive
Technical and legal
information
MSTS1500-A by MacAllister
06
Getting started...
EN

requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration
test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time
a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE
VIBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the
HSE website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another tool.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool
can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool
is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the
tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt the
correct working practices in order to reduce the exposure to vibration. This
tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
Warning: Identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based
on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account
of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time). Note The use of other
tools will reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels,
drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate).
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºC or less. Plan your work schedule to
spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

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 device may result in
personal injury.
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
and clothing 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
extraction can reduce dustrelated hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 remove the battery
pack, if detachable, 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. 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 and accessories with care. 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, tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Safety instructions related to guards
a) Leave the guards in place. Guards have to be in functional condition and
mounted properly. Loose, damaged or not properly functioning guards have to
be repaired or replaced.
Getting started...
11
EN

b) Always use the guard and the riving knife for cuts. For cuts where the
saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard
and other safety devices reduce the risk of injuries.
c) After finishing your work (e.g. seaming) where the guard and riving
knife have to be removed, immediately reattach the protective system.
The guard and the riving knife reduce the risk of injury.
d) Before switching on the power tool, make sure that the saw blade is
not in contact with the guard, the riving knife or the workpiece. Inadvertent
contact of these components with the saw blade could cause a hazardous
condition.
e) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect
spacing, position and alignment are possible reasons for failure of the riving
knife to effectively prevent kickback.
f) So that the riving knife can work, it must be positioned in the saw gap.
The riving knife is ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be
engaged with the riving knife. A kickback by the riving knife cannot be prevented
under these conditions.
g) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to
function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving
knife, the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the riving knife, and the
tooth width has to be greater than the thickness of the riving knife.
2. Safety instructions for sawing procedures
a) DANGER: Keep fingers and hands away from cutting area and
the blade. A moment of inattention while operating power tools or
slipping might cause your hand to get near the saw blade and may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against the direction of
rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is
rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being
pulled into the saw blade.
c) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece for straight cuts and
do not use the ripping fence as a length stop when cross cutting with
the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the ripping fence and the mitre
gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and
kickback.
d) When effecting straight cuts, always apply the workpiece feeding force
between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance
between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and a push
block when this distance is less than 50 mm. Such "working aids" ensure
Technical and legal
information
MSTS1500-A by MacAllister
12
Getting started...
EN

Technical and legal
information
MSTS1500-A by MacAllister
that your hand remains at a safe distance to the saw blade.
e) Use only the supplied push stick of the manufacturer. The push stick
provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break
causing your hand to slip into the saw blade.
g) Do not perform any operation"freehand". Always use either the ripping
fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece. "Freehand"
means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a ripping
fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and
kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece
may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
i) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw
table for long and/or wide workpieces to keep them level. Long and/or
wide workpieces have a tendency to pivot on the table's edge, causing loss
of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
j) Feed the workpiece at a uniform speed. Do not bend or twist the
workpiece. If the saw blade jams, immediately switch off the power tool,
pull the mains plug and clear the jam. If the workpiece causes the jamming
of the saw blade, this could lead to kickback or stalling of the motor.
k) Do not remove piece of cut-off material while the saw is running. The
material may become trapped between the saw blade and fence or in the
guard and pull your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until
the saw blade stops before removing the material.
I) Use an auxiliary fence for long cuts in workpieces with a thickness of
less than 2 mm. Thin workpieces may wedge under the fence and create
kickback.
3. Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, bound saw blade
or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when
a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the fence or other fixed
object.
During kickback, in most cases, the workpiece is lifted off the table by the rear
portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the table saw. It can be prevented
if suitable precautionary measures are taken as described below.
Getting started...
13
EN

a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your
body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence rail. Kickback may
propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and
in line with the saw blade.
b) Never reach over or in behind the saw blade to pull or support
the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback
may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the
rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw
blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
d) Align the fence rail to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence
will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
e) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence
rail when making hidden cuts (e.g. seaming). A featherboard helps to
control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
f) Be particularly careful when sawing in areas of joined workpieces that
you cannot see. The plunging saw blade can saw into objects that could
cause kickback.
g) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel.
h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted,
warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge
or along the fence rail. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable
and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally.
The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
j) If you wish to restart a saw that is stuck in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf and check whether that the saw teeth are not caught
in the workpiece. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and
cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped
saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly
set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.
4. Safety instructions for table saws
a) Turn off the table saw and unplug it when removing the table insert,
changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife, anti-
kickback device or saw blade guard, and after each completed cutting
procedure. Precautionary measures serve to avoid accidents.

Technical and legal
information
MSTS1500-A by MacAllister
b) Never leave the table saw unattended when in operation. Turn if off and
don't leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop. An unattended
running saw is an uncontrolled hazard.
c) Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where you can maintain
good footing and balance. It should be installed in an area that provides
enough room to easily handle the size of the workpieces. Cluttered, dark
areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents.
d) Regularly clean and remove wood shavings and saw dust from under
the saw table and/or the dust extraction unit. Accumulated saw dust is
combustible and may self ignite.
e) Secure the table saw. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or
tip over.
f) Remove tools, wood scraps etc. from the table saw before turning it on.
Distraction or possible jams can be dangerous.
g) Always use blades of the right size and with the appropriate mounting
hole (e.g. starshaped or round). Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
h) Only use 10" saw blade with kerf width>2.3mm and blade body thickness is
1.8 mm match the riving knife with thickness of 2 mm.
i) Always use only a saw blade diameter in accordance with the markings
on the saw; Use only saw blades for which the maximum possible speed
is not less than the maximum spindle speed of the product.
j) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as
flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were
specially designed for your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
Do not use any blunt , cracked, deformed or damaged saw blades. Only
replace the saw blade with one complying with the European standard
EN 847-1.
k)Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a stepping stool. Serious
injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted.
l) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction.
Do not use grinding discs or wire brushes on a circular table saw.
Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not recommended may
cause serious injury.
