General Instructions for 230V Machines
DO NOT use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or
in areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised
machines for working in these areas, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
Check that cutters, drills, blades etc., are the correct type and size, are undamaged and are
kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading
on the machine.
If possible always fit dust extraction to machines that are producing high rates of sawdust,
shavings, chips etc.
Above all, OBSERVE….make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE
YOUR COMMON SENSE.
REMEMBER, YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
THIS MACHINE IS DESIGNED TO CUT TIMBER AND TIMBER DERIVATIVE
PRODUCTS. DO NOT use for any other materials.
Specific Instructions/Precautionsfor the Saw Table
Make sure the saw blade is the correct type for the job in hand.
DO NOT force the saw, if the saw begins to 'stall' you are 'forcing the cut' or over working
the saw.
Ensure that the saw blade is clean and sharp. Resin build up on the blades will increase the
friction of the saw passing through the timber, and cause over heating of the blade, blunt
teeth will work harder tearing the fibre of the timber as opposed to shearing it, also with
subsequent overheating. Both faults unnecessarily load the machine beyond normal usage,
and shorten its longevity.
DO NOT use blades that are deformed in any way.
DO NOT remove the blade guard. The design of the riving knife on the machine will not
allow for slotting or 'blind' grooving, so there is no reason to remove the guard.
DO NOT remove the riving knife.
DO NOT use any blades that cut a smaller kerf than the riving knife thickness.
Make sure the riving knife is correctly adjusted to the blade and is securely fastened.
If the table insert becomes damaged or broken, and will not support the timber 'up close' to
the blade, replace it.
DO NOT start the saw with the workpiece touching the blade.
DO NOT commence sawing until the blade has run up to full speed.
After switching off, never try to slow the saw down more quickly by applying side pressure
(with a piece of wood?) to the blade.
Apply the old joiner's adage of never getting hands within one handbreadth of the blade.
Leave the machine disconnected from the mains supply until you are about to commence
work.
