VIBRATION

Warning! 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 nger disease” (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

ngers 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 & BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002. Many factors can inuence 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 these factors can help

reduce the effects of vibration:can cause you to lose control

Handling: Handle the machine with care, allowing the machine to do

the work. Avoid using excessive physical effort on any of the machines

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.

Power Tool General Safety Instructions: (These Power Tool Safety

Instructions are as specied in BS EN 60745-1:2009 & EN 61029-1:2009)

Warning! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious

injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term

"power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power

tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) General Power Tool Safety Warnings [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 ammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or gasses.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control

2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings [Electrical Safety]

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or 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 (R.C.D.) protected supply. Use of an R.C.D. reduces the

risk of electric shock

3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings [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 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 masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard

FOR SAFE OPERATION

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 nger on the switch or

energising the power tools that have a switch on invites accidents

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of a power tool 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,

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 that these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings [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 a rate

for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn the tool on or off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the power tool from the power source and/or battery pack

from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preventative 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 moving parts and any other condition that may affect

the power tools 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) General Power Tool Safety Warnings[Service]

a) Have your power tool serviced with identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

•Never perform any operation freehand. This means using only your

hands to support or guide the work piece. Always use either the fence

or mitre gauge to position and guide the work.

Warning! Freehand cutting is a major cause of accidents and should not

be attempted.

•Never attempt to free a stalled blade without rst turning the saw off.

Turn the power off immediately to prevent damage to the motor.

•Provide adequate support for long or wide work pieces.

•Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a slip could

cause your hand to move into the blade.

•Always use the blade guard. The blade guard must always be used in

every operation.

•Hold the work rmly. Against the mitre gauge or rip fence.

•Always use a push stick. Especially when rip cutting narrow stock.

•Keep guards in place and in working order. Always ensure that the

riving knife is tted and correctly adjusted. Inspect the riving knife

regularly and replace it if it is worn. Use only the riving knife as this is a

dedicated component for this machine.

•Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit of checking to

see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine

before turning it on.

•Do not use in a dangerous environment. Do not use power tools in

damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit

and well ventilated.

•Keep children away. All children and bystanders should be kept at a

safe distance from the work area.

•Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS). Ensure that the correct blade is

selected for the material being cut.

•The push stick or push block should always be stored with the machine

when not in use.

•Connect the saw to a dust collection device when sawing wood. The

operator should be informed of the factors that inuence exposure to

dust e.g. type of local extraction (capture or source) and the proper

adjustment hoods/bafes/chutes.

•Use proper extension cord. Make sure any extension cord is in good

condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy

enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

possible overheating.

•Always use safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting

operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant

lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

•Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and

safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing

accessories.

•Disconnect from the power supply before servicing, cleaning and/or

FOR SAFE OPERATION FOR SAFE OPERATION

HEALTH ADVICE

CHECKING / ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE

1RIP FENCE 2CHECK THE RIP FENCE IS PARALLEL 3ADJUST

The rip fence simply slots into the fence rail and can

be locked into position anywhere along the rail by

pressing the locking lever downwards.

Be sure that when tting the rip fence is straight and

runs parallel to the blade. You can do this by raising

the blade to the full height and using a straight edge

to check.

The rip-fence face plate can be repositioned if

required. Loosen wing nuts and slide forward or

backward as desired.

It is recommended that the rip fence is extended

only as far as the rear of the blade.

The rip fence guide provides a window to see the

measurement scale on the fence rail. This can be

used to aid setting the cutting distance from the

blade to the rip fence. It is a useful guide does not

supplant the need to ‘mark out’.

The locking lever, as previously mentioned, lifts

and drops down to lock the rip fence into place

anywhere along the length of the machine either

side of the blade.

• Do not rely on the rip fence alone for cutting accuracy, always measure and mark out your cutting line.

• The machine must not be connected to the mains supply while carrying out the following procedures.

WARNING! • The fence rail needs to be positioned correctly to read accurately.

• Even when correctly adjusted the scale should not be regarded as a useful cutting guide.

• The scale does not supplant the need for accurate marking out
