IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (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 ammable 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 with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce 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 ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of an GFCI 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 inuence 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 o-position before connection to power
source, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger 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.
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 jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelery 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.
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 you 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 o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts , breakage of
parts and any other condition that may aect 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 tools 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 dierent
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 qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

THE FOLLOWING TERMS WILL BE USED THROUGHOUT THE MANUAL AND YOU SHOULD BECOME
FAMILIAR WITH THEM.
THROUGH-CUT - any cut that completely cuts through the
workpiece.
NON-THROUGH CUT - any cut that does not completely cut
through the workpiece.
PUSH STICK - a wooden or plastic stick, usually homemade,
that is used to push a small workpiece through the saw and keeps
the operator’s hands clear of the blade.
KICKBACK - when the saw blade binds in the cut or the
workpiece binds between the blade and the fence and the
workpiece is thrust back toward the operator.
FREEHAND - cutting without the use of a miter gauge or rip
fence or any other means of guiding or holding the workpiece
other than the operator’s hand.
PLUNGE CUTTING - blind cuts in the workpiece made by either
raising the blade through the workpiece or lowering the workpiece
down to the blade.
RE-SAWING - ipping the workpiece to complete a cut the saw
is not capable of making in one pass.
COVE CUTTING - an operation where the work is fed at an
angle across the blade. (Also known as “coving”).
Terminology
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
SEE GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY SECTION OF THIS MANUAL. Read entire instruction manual before operating saw.
Learning the saw’s proper applications, limitations, and specic potential hazards will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents
and injury. Make sure all users are familiar with its warnings and instructions before using saw.
SEE POWER CONNECTION SECTION OF THIS MANUAL for instructions and warnings regarding power cords and connections.
Table Saw Specic Safety Rules
TABLE SAW SAFETY RULES
WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS DESIGNATED BY THE SYMBOL AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. GUARDING RELATED WARNINGS (FOR TABLE SAW, 62841-3-1)
a. Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is
not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.
b. Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback device for every through-cutting operation. For through-
cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices
help reduce the risk of injury.
c. Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as rabbeting or resawing cuts) which
requires removal of the guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback device. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback device
help to reduce the risk of injury.
d. Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
e. Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the
riving knife ineective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
f. For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife and
anti-kickback device are ineective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback
device. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and antikickback device.
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 and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the
cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
2. CUTTING PROCEDURES WARNINGS
a. DANGER: Never place your ngers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip
could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
b. Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter 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 when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when
cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the
likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
d. When ripping, 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 use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm.
"Work helping" devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
e. Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance with the instructions. This push
stick provides sucient 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 rip 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 rip 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. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade
binding and kickback.
