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 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.
