3. General Health & Safety Guidance
Ensure that you carefully read and fully
understand the instructions in this manual
before assembly, installation and use of this
product. Keep these instructions in a safe place
for future reference.
WARNING: for your own safety, do not attempt to
operate this machine until it is completely assembled and
installed according to these instructions.
WARNING: When using any machine, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Safe Operation
1. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• The operation of any machine can result in foreign
objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result
in severe eye damage. Protective eye wear or other
suitable eye protection or face shield should be used
at all times. Everyday spectacles only have impact
resistant lenses. They are not protective eye wear and
do not give additional lateral protection.
• Use respiratory protective equipment (dust mask etc.)
if the machining operation creates dust. Exposure to
high levels of dust created by machining hardwoods,
softwoods and man made composite boards can result
in serious health problems. Some imported hardwoods
give off highly irritating dust, which can cause a
burning sensation. The use of respiratory protective
equipment should not be seen as an alternative to
controlling the risk of exposure at source by using
adequate dust extraction equipment.
• The use of ear plugs or ear defenders is recommended
when the machine is in use, particularly if the noise
level exceeds 85 dB.
• Wear suitable protective gloves when handling cutting
tools or blades. Gloves should NOT be worn when
using the machine as they can be caught in moving
parts of the machine.
• Non-slip safety footwear is recommended when using
the machine and handling large work pieces.
2. Dress appropriately
• Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they
can be caught in moving parts of the machine.
• Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
3. Safety warnings
• Find and read any warning labels on the machine.
• It is important that any labels bearing health and
safety warnings are not removed, defaced or covered.
Replacement labels can be obtained by contacting our
Customer Service Department.
4. Familiarise yourself with the machine
• If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation
of this machine, obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor, or other qualified person or contact your
retailer for information on training courses. Do not
use this machine until adequate training has been
undertaken.
5. Take care when moving or positioning the
machine
• Some machines can be very heavy. Ensure the floor of
the area in which the machine is to be used is capable
of supporting the machine.
• The machine and its various components can be heavy.
Always adopt a safe lifting technique and seek
assistance when lifting heavy components. In some
cases it may be necessary to use mechanical handling
equipment to position the machine within the work
area.
• Some machines have optional wheel kits available to
allow them to be manoeuvred around the workshop
as required. Care should be taken to install these
according to the instructions provided.
• Due to the nature of the design of some machines the
centre of gravity will be high making them unstable
when moved. Extreme care should be taken when
moving any machine.
• If transportation of the machine is required then all
precautions relating to the installation and handling
of the machine apply. In addition, ensure that any
vehicles or manual handling equipment used for
transportation are of adequate specification.
6. The machine should be level and stable at all
times
• When using a leg stand or cabinet base that is
designed to be fitted to the machine, always ensure
that it is securely fastened to the machine using the
fixings provided.
• If the machine is suitable to be used on a workbench,
ensure that the workbench is well constructed and
capable of withstanding the weight of the machine.
The machine should always be securely fastened to the
workbench with appropriate fixings.
• Where possible, floor standing machines should always
be secured to the floor with fixings appropriate to the
structure of the floor.
• The floor surface should be sound and level. All of the
feet of the machine should make contact with the floor
surface. If they do not, either re-locate the machine to
a more suitable position or use packing shims between

7
3. General Health & Safety Guidance
the feet and the floor surface to ensure the machine is
stable.
7. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
• Ensure that all adjusting wrenches and keys are
removed before switching the machine ‘ON’. There
is a risk of severe personal injury or damage to the
machine from airborne objects.
8. Before switching the machine ‘ON’
• Clear the machine table of all objects (tools, scrap
pieces etc.)
• Make sure there is no debris between the work piece
and the table / work support.
• Ensure that the work piece is not pressed against, or
touching the saw blade or cutting tool.
• Check all clamps, work holding devices and fences to
ensure that they are secure and cannot move during
machining operations.
• Plan the way that you will hold and feed the work
piece for the entire machining operation.
9. Whilst machining
• Before starting work, watch the machine while it runs.
If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates excessively,
switch the machine ‘OFF’ immediately and disconnect
it from the power supply. Do not restart until finding
and correcting the source of the problem.
10. Keep the work area clear
• Working clearances can be thought of as the distances
between machines and obstacles that allow safe
operation of every machine without limitation.
Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size
of material to be processed through each machine
and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables.
Also consider the relative position of each machine to
one another for efficient material handling. Be sure to
allow yourself sufficient room to safely operate your
machines in any foreseeable operation.
• Cluttered work areas and benches create the risk of
accidents. Keep benches clear and tidy away tools that
are not in use.
• Ensure that the floor area is kept clean and clear of any
dust and debris that may create trip or slip hazards.
11. Consider the work area environment
• Do not expose the machine to rain or damp conditions.
• Keep the work area well lit and ensure that there is
artificial lighting available when there is insufficient
natural light to effectively light the work area. Lighting
should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and
prevent eye strain.
• Do not use the machine in explosive environments e.g.
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• The presence of high levels of dust created by
machining wood can present a risk of fire or explosion.
Always use dust extraction equipment to minimise the
risk.
12. Keep other persons away (and pets)
• The machine is designed to be used by one person
only.
• Do not let persons, especially children, touch the
machine or extension cable (if used) and keep visitors
away from the work area.
• Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn
the power supply off and do not leave the machine
unattended until it comes to a complete stop.
• If the work area is to be left unattended, all machinery
should be switched ‘OFF’ and isolated from the mains
power supply.
13. Store machines safely when not in use
• When not in use, machines should be stored in a dry
place, out of reach of children. Do not allow persons
unfamiliar with these instructions or with the machine
to operate it.
14. Do not overreach
• Choose a working position that allows your body to
remain balanced and feed the work piece in to the
machine without overreaching.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. Electrical supply
• Electrical circuits should be dedicated to each machine
or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads.
Power outlets should be located near each machine
so that power or extension cables are not obstructing
high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical guidelines
for proper installation of new lighting, power outlets,
or circuits.
• The machine must be connected to an earthed power
supply.
• The power supply must be equipped with a circuit
breaker that provides short circuit, overload and earth
leakage protection.
• The voltage of the machine must correspond to the
voltage of the mains power supply.
• The mains plug fitted to the machine should always
match the power outlet. Do not modify the plug in
any way. If a replacement plug is required it should be
fitted by a competent person and of the correct type
and rating for the machine.
• If you are unsure about any electrical connections
always consult a qualified electrician.

3. General Health & Safety Guidance
16. Avoid unintentional starting of the machine
• Most machines are fitted with a no-volt release (NVR)
switch to prevent unintentional starting. If in doubt
always ensure the machine switch is in the ‘OFF’
position before connecting it to the power supply. This
means the machine will not automatically start up
after a power cut or switching on of the power supply,
unless you first reset the start switch.
17. Outdoor use
• Your machine should not be used outdoors.
18. Extension cables
• Whenever possible, the use of extension cables is
not recommended. If the use of an extension cable is
unavoidable, then it should have a minimum core cross
section of 2.5mm² and limited to a maximum length of
3 metres.
• Extension cables should be routed away from the
direct working area to prevent a trip hazard.
19. Guard against electric shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes and radiators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
20. Always work within the machine’s intended
capacities
• Operator safety and machine performance are
seriously adversely affected if attempts to make the
machine perform beyond its limits are made.
21. Do not abuse the power cable
• Never pull the power cable to disconnect it from the
power socket. Always use the plug.
• Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
• Do not use the power cable for carrying or moving the
machine.
22. Secure the work piece
• Ensure that the work piece is securely held before
starting to machine it.
• When working within 300 mm of the machining area,
always use a push stick to feed the work piece in to
the blade or cutting tool. The push stick should have a
minimum length of 400 mm. If the push stick becomes
damaged, replace it immediately.
• Use extra supports (roller support stands etc.) for any
work pieces large enough to tip when not held down
to the table top.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as additional support for a work piece
that is longer or wider than the basic table, or to help
feed, support, or pull the work piece.
• Do not attempt to machine more than one work piece
at a time.
• When feeding the work piece towards the blade or
cutting tool never position your hands in direct line of
the cutting path. Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand
or fingers to move into the machining area.
23. Stay alert
• Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at all times when the machine is being used.
• Use all machines with extreme care and do not use the
machine when you are tired or under the influence of

24. Use the correct tool for the job
• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than
which it was designed.
• When selecting replacement cutting tools and blades,
always ensure that they are designed to cut the
material that you intend to use them for. If in any
doubt seek further advice from the manufacturer.
25. Connect dust extraction equipment
• Always use dust extraction equipment.The dust
extractor should be of suitable size and capacity
for the machine that it is connected to and have a
filtration level appropriate to the type of waste being
collected. Refer to the relevant section of the manual
for details of the specific dust extraction requirements
for this machine.
• The dust extractor should be switched ‘ON’ before
starting the machine that it is connected to. The dust
extractor should be left running for 30 seconds after
the last machining operation is complete in order to
clear any residual waste from the machine.
26. Ensure that the machine is correctly guarded
• Never use the machine if any of the standard safety
guards and equipment are removed or damaged.
• Some machines incorporate safety interlocks to
prevent the machine from being used without the
guards in place. Never attempt to bypass or modify the
interlocks to allow the machine to be used without the
guards in place.
27. Maintain your machine with care
• This manual gives clear instructions on installation, set
up and operation of the machine and also details any
routine and preventative maintenance that should be
performed periodically by the user.
• Remember always to switch off and unplug the
machine from the power supply before carrying out
any setting up or maintenance operations.
• Follow any instructions for the maintenance of

9
accessories and consumables.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the machine.
Always use a brush to dislodge dust in places that are
awkward to reach and a dust extractor to collect the
waste.
• Inspect electric cables periodically and, if damaged,
have them replaced by an authorised service facility or
qualified electrician.
• Inspect extension cables (if used) periodically and
replace if damaged.
28. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean
• Correctly maintained cutting tools are easier to control
and less likely to bind.
• Cutting tools and blades can become hot during use.
Take extreme care when handling them and always
allow them to cool before changing, adjusting or
sharpening them.
29. Disconnect the machine from the power
supply
• When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc.

4. Additional Health & Safety Guidance for
Bandsaws
Safe Operation
1. Familiarise yourself with the machine
• Machining operations using bandsaws have a his-
tory of serious accidents. Most result from contact
with the moving blade while presenting material to
the blade or moving it from the table. Other minor
accidents can occur whilst setting, cleaning, adjust-
ing or maintaining the machine.
• The machine is designed for cutting wood and com-
posite board (plywood, MDF etc.). Certain plastics
can also be cut using a suitable blade.
2. Before switching the machine ‘ON’
• Ensure that the blade is correctly tensioned and
aligned on the band wheels and the blade guides
are correctly adjusted.
• Ensure that the teeth of the blade are pointing
downwards.
• Check the condition of the blade to ensure that no
teeth are missing, damaged or deformed and the
blade is not cracked or split. If any of these condi-
tions apply, replace the blade immediately.
• Ensure that the saw blade type and width are suit-
able for the material to be cut.
• Check that the blade width is within the minimum
and maximum permitted on the machine and that
the thickness of the blade is suitable for the diam-
eter of the wheel.
• Some machines have more than one cutting speed.
For most wood cutting applications the faster of the
speeds should be used.
• Check the condition of the table insert. Replace it
immediately if it is damaged or showing signs of
wear.
• Adjust the guard as close as possible to the work
piece being cut.
• Check that access doors are fully closed and that the
latches are secure.
3. Whilst machining
• Never apply sideways pressure to the blade as this
may cause the blade to break.
• Care must be taken when cutting wood with knots,
nails or cracks in it and / or dirt on it, as these can
cause the blade to get stuck. If this happens, switch
the machine ‘OFF’ immediately and follow the pro-
cedure detailed in the manual to remove the blade
from the work piece.
• If cutting cylindrical timber use a suitable jig to
prevent twisting of the work piece.
4. This machine falls under the scope of the ‘Health
and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974’, and the ‘Provision &
Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998’. In addition
the elimination or control of risks from wood dust is
included in the above regulations and the ‘Control of
Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations
2002’. We recommend that you study and follow these
regulations.

Rotate the thrust guide adjustment knob anti-clockwise
to retract.
The upper thrust guide should be positioned
approximately 6 mm/ 1/4" from the rear of the
scroll blade, to allow support for blade tracking.
