TABLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons unless supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING! Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the

tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.

Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

a) This tool is designed to cut timber products only. Do not use the tool to cut any other materials.
b) Do not cut firewood with this tool. The irregular shape of firewood makes it unsafe to cut with this tool.
c) Prior to operating, connect a dust extractor to the tool. This will ensure a dust-free environment for safer operation.
d) Always use recommended size blade. Do not use smaller or larger blades.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow *kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or blade bolts. The blade bolt and washers are specifically designed for the tool for optimum performance and safety of operation.
g) Ensure the blade is properly fitted and rotates in the correct direction. Incorrectly fitted blades can cause damage to the material and tool and injury to the operator.
h) Do not use damaged blades. This can result in serious injury to the operator and damage to the tool.
i) Do not use abrasive or dado blades. This can result in serious injury to the operator and damage to the tool.
j) When the blade binds in material being cut, switch off the tool and wait for blade to come to a complete stop. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate cause of binding.
k) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
I) Do not use the tool without guards in place and operating correctly. Failure to adhere to this may cause damage to the material and tool and injury to the operator.
m) Ensure all clamps, levers and locking knobs are securely tightened prior to operation. This will result in projects being produced accurately and safely.
