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

eyewear 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 eyewear 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 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 eg. 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
