2. 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.

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.
