4. Safety Regulations

4.1 General Safety Instructions

1. KNOW YOUR MACHINE.

Read and understand the owners manual and
labels affixed to the machine. Learn its application
and limitations as well as its specific potential
hazards;

2. GROUND THE MACHINE.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical short;

3. KEEP THE BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.

Keep in good working order, properly adjusted and
aligned;

4. REMOVE THE ADJUSTING TOOLS

Form a habit of checking that the key and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before
turning it on;

5. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN.

Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
Make sure the floor is clean and not slippery due to
wax and sawdust build-up;

6. AVOID A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t use machines in damp or wet locations or
expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lit
and provide adequate surrounding work space;

7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.

All visitors should be kept a safe distance from
work area;

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF.

With padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys;

9. USE THE PROPER SPEED.

A machine will do a better and safer job when
operated at the proper speed;

10. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE.

Don’t force the machine or the attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed;

11. WEAR THE PROPER APPAREL.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, watch) because they could get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair. Roll up long sleeves above the
elbows;

12. MAINTAIN PROPER FOOTING.

Keep proper footing and balance at all time. Do
not over-reach to perform an operation;

13. MAINTAIN THE MACHINE WITH CARE.

Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest
performance;

14. DISCONNECT M ACHINES.

Before servicing, when changing accessories or
attachments;

15. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING.

Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging in;

16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the manual for recommended accessories.
Follow the instructions that accompany the
accessories. The use of improper accessories may
cause hazards;

17. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE.

Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
Do not store materials such that it is necessary to
stand on the machine to reach them;

18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.

Before further use of the machine, a guard or other
parts that are damaged should be carefully
checked to ensure that they will operate properly
and perform their intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other parts that are
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced;

19. NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING
UNATTENDED.

Turn the power to "off". Do not walk away from the
machine until it comes to a complete stop;

20. ADEQUATE LIGHT

Ensure that adequate general or localized lighting
is provided in work area;

4.2 Table Saw Safety Instructions

1. ALWAYS USE A GUARD.

Always use a guard 、 splitter and anti-kickback
fingers on all “thru-sawing” operations.
Thru-sawing operations are those when the blade
cuts completely through the work piece as in
ripping or crosscutting;

2. ALWAYS HOLD THE WORK.

Always hold the work firmly against the miter
gauge or fence;

3. ALWAYS USE A PUSHSTICK OR PUSH
BLOCKS.

Push blocks or push sticks shall be used when
cutting small workpieces and in circumstances
where it is necessary to push the workpiece
against the fence;

4. NEVER PERFORM UNSAFE OPERATIONS.

Never perform any operations “free-hand” which
means using your hands to support or guide the
work piece. Always use either the fence or the
miter gauge to position and guide the work piece;

5

5. STAND TO THE SIDE WHEN FEEDING
MATERIAL.

Never stand or have any part of your body in line
withthepathofthesawblade;

6. USE CAUTION WHEN REACHING FOR
OBJECTS.

Never reach behind or over the cutting tool with
either hand for any reason;

7. SAFE CROSSCUTTING OPERATIONS.

Move the rip fence out of the way when
crosscutting;

8. ENSURE CORRECT FEEDING OF MATERIAL.

Feed the work into the blade against the direction
of rotation;

9. CORRECT USAGE WITH THE FENCE.

Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when you
are cross-cutting;

10. ALWAYS TURN THE POWER TO THE "OFF"
POSITION.

When attempting to free a stalled saw blade,
always turn the saw to the "off" position;

11. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT.

To the rear and sides of the table saw for wide or
long work pieces;

12. AVOID KICKBACKS.

Avoid kickbacks (work thrown back towards you)
by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip
fence parallel to the saw blade, by keeping the
splitter and anti-kickback fingers and guard in plac e
and operating, by not releasing work before it is
pushed all the way past the saw blade, and by not
ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide along the fence;

13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS.

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the spinning blade;

14. BLADE REQUIREMENTS.

Only correctly sharpened saw blades
manufactured in accordance with the requirements
of EN 847-1:2005 shall be used;

15. CORRECT SAW BLADE USAGE.

No saw blade shall be used where the maximum
marked speed is lower than the maximum
rotational speed of the saw spindle;

16. CHIP AND DUST.

The machine shall be connected to an external
chip and dust extraction s ystem;
The dust extraction equipment is to be switched on
before commencing machining;

17. CHECK

Periodically check the brake function to mak e sure
the completed stop time of the saw blade is less
than 10 seconds.

4.3 Residual Risks

1. Take precautions to reduce the hazard of
inhalation of harmful dust (e.g. wearing a dust
mask);

2. Wear ear protection to prevent hearing loss;

3. Always wear safety glasses. Also, use a face
or dusk mask if the cutting operation is dusty;

4. Protect against the hazard of being cut when
handling saw blades in the machine or while
performing maintenance on the machine;

5. Do NOT try to remove chips while the saw is
running or the saw blade is moving;

6. Do NOT use the machine unless all of the
guards and other safety devices necessary for
the particular operation are in good working
order and in place.

4.4 Safety Equipment

A push block (Fig. 2) or A push stick (Fig. 3)

must be used

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

If the workpieces is less then 4-3/4” (120 mm),
you must use the push stick to prevent your
hands from getting too close to the saw blade.
A Push block must be used to cut narrow
workpieces and, when necessary, to push the
work piece against the fence. A push block can
be easily made by the operator as shown in Fig.
