1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances, before using, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs
and all electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate
safety devices. An rccB (residual current circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that
an rcD (residual current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an rcD with portable products that are
plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an rccB. If in doubt consult a qualified 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 qualified 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 the appliance
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power
supply. see 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use a Portable Appliance tester (PAt).
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. regularly inspect power supply leads, plugs for wear and damage and power connections, to
ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply
to be used, and check that plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse. A 13 amp plug may require
a fuse smaller than 13 amps for certain products, see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by its power supply lead.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the power cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by
a qualified electrician. A u.K. 3 pin plug with AstA/Bs approval is fitted. In case of damage, cut it off
and fit a new plug according to the following instructions (discard old plug safely).
(uK only - see diagram at right). Ensure the unit is correctly wired via a three-pin plug.
a) Note that this saw is double insulated and therefore there is no gREEN/YEllOW
earth wire.
b) Connect the bROWN live wire to live terminal ‘l’.
c) Connect the bluE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
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.
Double insulated products are fitted with live (BroWn) and neutral (BLuE) wires only. Double insulated products are always marked with
this symbol . To re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above. DO NOT connect the brown or blue to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. some products require more than a 13 amp electrical supply. In such a case, NO plug will be fitted. You must contact a qualified electrician
to ensure a 30 amp fused supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of a industrial round pin plug and socket with your
electrician.
1.1.11. Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an rcD
fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. the section of the cores of the cable
is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable reel is suitable for this product
and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.
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.
stand the saw on a stable floor strong enough to take the weight of the machine and workpiece.
Wood dust can be harmful to health by inhalation and skin contact and 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 in place and in good working order. check regularly for damaged parts.
A guard, or any other part, that is damaged must be repaired or replaced before the saw is next used. the safety guard is a mandatory
fitting where the saw is used on premises covered by the Health & safety at Work Act.
Before commencing work, ensure that 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.
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 those requirements of the Wood Working Machines regulations which apply. Inexperienced operators must
be under the adequate supervision of a person who has a thorough knowledge and experience of the machine and the required guards.
DO NOT operate the saw if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause product 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 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 that 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 will become a fire hazard.
Keep riving knife and blade guard in place and operational, and replace table insert when worn.
Ensure that the saw blade is suitable for the material to be cut.
WARNING! Before each use, check that the saw blade is secure and not worn or damaged.
use the blade guard for all “through-sawing” operations. through-sawing operations are those where the blade cuts through the
workpiece completely as in ripping or cross-cutting.
check workpiece to ensure that there are no nails or other items which may foul the saw blade.
Hold the work firmly against the fence bar.
only feed the workpiece into the blade against the rotation of the blade.
Avoid subjecting the saw blade to excessive strain - never force the workpiece. Maintain a controlled, steady progression.
should the saw blade jam, switch the power off immediately to prevent damage to the motor.
to avoid “kickback” (when a workpiece is violently thrown back towards the operator) implement the following:
a) Keep the blade sharp. b) Keep the fence parallel to the saw blade. c) DO NOT release the workpiece before it is pushed all the way
past the saw blade. d) DO NOT rip work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
use a push stick for ripping narrow stock.
Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for long or wide workpieces.
DO NOT use your hands alone (“free-hand”) to guide the workpiece. Hold work firmly against the fence bar to guide work through the saw.
DO NOT place yourself in an awkward operating position where a slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.
DO NOT stand, or have any part of your body, in line with the path of the saw blade.
DO NOT use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.
DO NOT hold what will become the off-cut (the waste part of the workpiece).
WARNING! DO NOT reach behind or over the saw blade.
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to free a jammed saw blade without first switching off and removing the plug from the mains power supply
and ensure that the blade has come to a complete stop.
DO NOT cut metals or substances that may produce toxic dust. saw must only be used to cut wood or wood derived materials.
DO NOT attempt to cut round section wood.
DO NOT use solvents to clean plastic parts. use a soft damp cloth only.
store saw and blades in a safe, dry childproof location.
