1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.
A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an
RCCB. If in any doubt consult a competent electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a competent
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible
for the safe condition of those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in
any doubt about electrical safety, contact a competent electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it
to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item
repaired or replaced by a competent electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
a) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
b) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
c) DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer
insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
1.1.10. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that
the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the
use of 2.5mm² section cable. If extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.
1.2 GENERAL SAFETY
Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and potential hazards of the saw.
WARNING! Disconnect the saw from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
The machine must only be serviced by a qualified person or service agent. Contact your Sealey dealer for information.
Select a work area suitable for the saw and keep the area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure that there is adequate
lighting.
Mount the saw permanently on a supporting surface strong enough to take the weight of the machine and workpiece.
Wood dust can be harmful to health by inhalation and skin contact. Concentrations of small dust particles in the air can form an
explosive mixture. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the saw is attached to a dust-extraction unit.
Maintain the saw in good condition, check moving parts alignment regularly. Keep saw blades clean and sharp. ,
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Keep all guards and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order. Check regularly for damaged parts.
A guard, or any other part, that is damaged should be repaired or replaced before the saw is next used. The safety guard is a mandatory
fitting where the saw is used in premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.
Before commencing work, ensure the saw blade is set to cut in the correct direction, securely fastened, sharp and is compatible with the
machine, spindle speed and the material to be cut. Never use a saw blade if damaged, bent or warped. Use only recommended saw
blades.

RECOMMENDED FUSE
RATING: 13A
SMS216,SMS255 Issue1 - 10/03/16
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine and the vicinity before switching on.
Machine operators must have received sufficient training and instructions relating to the dangers associated with the machine, the
precautions to be observed and the requirements of the Wood Working Machines Regulations. Operators must be under the adequate
supervision of a person who has a thorough knowledge and experience of the machine and the appropriate regulations.
DO NOT operate the saw if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
DO NOT operate the saw when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
When not in use switch off the saw and unplug from the power supply. ,
WARNING! Wear approved safety eye protection, ear defenders and, if dust is generated, respiratory protection.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
Keep hands and body clear of the blade when operating the saw.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
Avoid unintentional starting and never leave the saw operating unattended.
DO NOT use the saw for a task it is not designed to perform and ensure operators are trained to use the saw.
DO NOT get the saw wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
DO NOT use the saw where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases such as paint solvents and including waste cleaning rags etc.
1.3 SPECIFIC SAW SAFETY RULES
Connect to a suitable extraction system. Failure to do so will result in the build-up of sawdust which could become a fire hazard.
Keep blade guard in place and operational.
WARNING! Before each use, check that the saw blade is secure and not worn or damaged.
Check workpiece to ensure that there are no nails or other items which may foul the saw blade.
Clamp the workpiece firmly against the fence.
Avoid subjecting the saw blade to excessive strain - never force the blade down. Maintain a controlled, steady progression.
Should the saw blade jam, switch the power off immediately to prevent damage to the motor.
Provide adequate support to the sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.
Always use the workpiece clamp provided if at all possible. If the workpiece can only be hand-held take extreme care.
DO NOT place yourself in an awkward operating position where a slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting blade.
DO NOT stand, or have any part of your body, in line with the path of the saw blade.
DO NOT hold what will become the off-cut (the waste part of the workpiece).
WARNING! DO NOT put hands anywhere near the blade whilst it is rotating.
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to free a jammed saw blade without first switching off or removing the plug from the mains power supply.
DO NOT attempt to cut round section wood.
Store blades in a safe, dry childproof location.
LASER SAFETY. The SMS216 and 255 utilise a Class II laser that emits a low level of visible radiation (i.e. a wavelength of 650 nanometres)
which is safe for the skin but not inherently safe for the eyes. The Class II emission limit is set at the maximum level for which eye protection is
normally afforded by natural aversion responses to bright light. Accidental eye exposure is therefore normally safe, although the natural aversion
response can be overridden by deliberately staring into the beam, and can also be influenced by the use of alcohol or drugs.
WARNING! Do not look or stare into the laser beam as permanent eye damage could result.
DO NOT direct the laser beam at any person’s (or animal’s) eyes as eye damage could result.
DO NOT operate the laser level when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
Be aware that reflections of the laser beam from mirrors or other shiny surfaces can be as hazardous as direct eye exposure.
