2. 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.

•  If transportation of the machine is required then all precautions 

relating to the installation and handling of the machine apply. In 
addition, ensure that any vehicles or manual handling equipment 
used for transportation are of adequate specification.

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.

7. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

 

•   Ensure that all adjusting wrenches and keys are removed before 

switching the machine ‘ON’. There is a risk of severe personal injury 
or damage to the machine from airborne objects.

8. Before switching the machine ‘ON’ 

•  Clear the machine table of all objects (tools, scrap pieces etc.)
•   Make sure there is no debris between the work piece and the  

table / work support.

•   Ensure that the work piece is not pressed against, or touching the 

saw blade or cutting tool.

•   Check all clamps, work holding devices and fences to ensure that 

they are secure and cannot move during machining operations.

•   Plan the way that you will hold and feed the work piece for the 

entire machining operation.

9. Whilst machining 

•   Before starting work, watch the machine while it runs. If it makes 

an unfamiliar noise or vibrates excessively, switch the machine 
‘OFF’ immediately and disconnect it from the power supply. Do not 
restart until finding and correcting the source of the problem.

10. Keep the work area clear

  

•   Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between 

machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine 
without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine 
needs, size of material to be processed through each machine 
and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider 
the relative position of each machine to one another for efficient 
material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to 
safely operate your machines in any foreseeable operation.

•   Cluttered work areas and benches create the risk of accidents. 

Keep benches clear and tidy away tools that are not in use.

•   Ensure that the floor area is kept clean and clear of any dust and 

debris that may create trip or slip hazards.
