General Health & Safety Guidance

Ensure that you carefully read and fully 
understand the instructions in this manual before 
assembly, installation and use of this product. 
Keep these instructions in a safe place for future 
reference.
WARNING: 

for your own safety, do not attempt to operate 

this machine until it is completely assembled and installed 
according to these instructions.

WARNING:

  When using any machine, basic safety 

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of 
fire, electric shock and personal injury.

Safe Operation
1. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

•   The operation of any machine can result in foreign 

objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result 
in severe eye damage. Protective eyewear or other 
suitable eye protection or face shield should be used at 
all times. Everyday spectacles only have impact resistant 
lenses. They are not protective eyewear and do not give 
additional lateral protection.

•   Use respiratory protective equipment (dust mask etc.) 

if the machining operation creates dust. Exposure to 
high levels of dust created by machining hardwoods, 
softwoods and man made composite boards can result 
in serious health problems. Some imported hardwoods 
give off highly irritating dust, which can cause a burning 
sensation. The use of respiratory protective equipment 
should not be seen as an alternative to controlling the 
risk of exposure at source by using adequate dust  
extraction equipment. 

•   The use of ear plugs or ear defenders is recommended 

when the machine is in use, particularly if the noise level 
exceeds 85 dB.

•   Wear suitable protective gloves when handling cutting 

tools or blades. Gloves should NOT be worn when using 
the machine as they can be caught in moving parts of 
the machine.

•   Non-slip safety footwear is recommended when using 

the machine and handling large work pieces.

2. Dress appropriately

•   Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they 

can be caught in moving parts of the machine.

•  Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
•  Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

3. Safety warnings

•  Find and read any warning labels on the machine
•   It is important that any labels bearing health and 

safety warnings are not removed, defaced or covered. 
Replacement labels can be obtained by contacting our 
Customer Service Department.

4. Familiarise yourself with the machine

•   If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation 

of this machine, obtain advice from your supervisor, 
instructor, or other qualified person or contact your 
retailer for information on training courses. Do not use 
this machine until adequate training has  
been undertaken.

5. Take care when moving or positioning the 
machine 

•   Some machines can be very heavy. Ensure the floor of 

the area in which the machine is to be used is capable of 
supporting the machine.

•   The machine and its various components can be heavy.  

Always adopt a safe lifting technique and seek assistance 
when lifting heavy components. In some cases it may 
be necessary to use mechanical handling equipment to 
position the machine within the work area.

•   Some machines have optional wheel kits available to 

allow them to be manoeuvred around the workshop as 
required. Care should be taken to install these according 
to the instructions provided.

•   Due to the nature of the design of some machines the 

centre of gravity will be high making them unstable 
when moved. Extreme care should be taken when 
moving any machine.

6. The machine should be level and stable at  
all times

•   When using a leg stand or cabinet base that is designed 

to be fitted to the machine, always ensure that it is 
securely fastened to the machine using the  
fixings provided.

•   If the machine is suitable to be used on a workbench, 

ensure that the workbench is well constructed and 
capable of withstanding the weight of the machine. 
The machine should always be securely fastened to the 
workbench with appropriate fixings.  

•   Where possible, floor standing machines should always 

be secured to the floor with fixings appropriate to the 
structure of the floor.

•   The floor surface should be sound and level. All of the 

feet of the machine should make contact with the floor 
surface. If they do not, either re-locate the machine to a 
more suitable position or use packing shims between the 
feet and the floor surface to ensure the machine is stable.
