GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
o-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of a power
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow
you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at a rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
POWER TOOL SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS
1) Guarding related warnings
• Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and
be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not
functioning correctly must be
repaired or replaced.
• Always use saw blade guard and riving knife for every
through–cutting operation. For through-cutting operations
where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the
workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help reduce the
risk of injury.
• After completing a non-through cut such as rabbeting,
resawing, or dadoing, restore the riving knife to the extended-
up position. With the riving knife in the extended-up position,
reattach the blade guard. The guard and riving knife help to
reduce the risk of injury.
• Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving
knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause
a hazardous condition.
• Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual.
Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving
knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
• For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the
