SAFETY WARNINGS

CAUTION: DO NOT LET FAMILIARITY WITH YOUR TABLE SAW MAKE YOU
CARELESS. REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS
SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.

PERMITTED USAGE

The table saw is constructed exclusively for the sawing of wood. The
appropriate saw blade should be fitted according to the wood type (solid
wood, chipboard or plywood).

• Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting
assembly or operation.

• Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in
this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury.

HEALTH

When sawing, dust particles will be produced. In some instances this dust can
be harmful (e.g. lead from old gloss paint, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber).

To reduce the risk you should:

6. Make sure the blade is not contacting the riving knife or workpiece before
the switch is turned on.

7. Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough material. Saw blades
shall be carried in a holder whenever practicable.

KICKBACK

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,
it causes the workpiece to be ejected from the tool back towards the
operator. Kickbacks can lead to serious personal injury.

You can avoid kickbacks by:

a. Keeping the blade sharp,

b. Keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade,

c. Keeping the riving knife and blade guard in place and operating properly,

d. Not releasing the workpiece until you have pushed it all the way past the

blade,

e. Not ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not have a

straight edge to guide along the fence.

If you do not have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO
NOT use this table saw.

REMAINING HAZARDS

The machine has been built in accordance with recognized safety standards.
Some remaining hazards may still exist.

• The rotating saw blade can cause injuries to fingers and hands if the

work piece is incorrectly fed.

• Thrown work pieces can lead to injury if the work piece is not

properly secured or fed, such as working without a limit stop.

• Noise can be a health hazard. The permitted noise level is

exceeded when working. Be sure to wear personal protective
equipment such as ear protection.

• Defective saw blades can cause injuries. Regularly inspect the

structural integrity of saw blades.

• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead to injuries

caused by electricity.
