Normal and prohibited use
The table saw is designed for the following work and is equiped with protective devices for these processes
only. It is not designed to work materials such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals, work different from
that stated below is prohibited.
NORMAL USE
- Ripping with the parallel saw fence with, or without the sawblade tilted and the fence in
the upright or low position;
- Right-angled or mitre cuts with the 90° fence mounted to the sliding table with tilted or
upright sawblade;
- Cross cutting workpieces using the adjustable stop on the 90° fence;
- Cutting panels or solid wood on the sliding table;
PROHIBITED USE
Following tasks are prohibited on the table saw:
- Submerged cuts by removing the riving knife, and saw guard;
- All types of cuts without using the table saw fence, the 90° fence or sliding table;
- Cutting large workpieces that exeed the machine capacity without using aids such as roller
supports or table extensions;
REMAINING RISKS
Main risks on the table saw are:
- Unintentional contact of the hand with the running sawblade;
- Workpiece kickback;
- Tipping over of the workpiece due to insufficient support;
NOISE REDUCTION
The type and condition of the sawblade is important in keeping the nois level as low as possible.
The material and the position of the safety devices are important in reducing the noise level.
Using the correct speed of the sawblade for the type of material will reduce the noise level as well;
The above does not negate the fact that extra safety equipment such as ear protection must be used.
Accoustic and dust emission levels
The values given are the emission levels; these are not necessary the levels at which the operator
can work safely.
Alhough there is a link between the emission values and the exposion level, it cannot be used in a
reliable way to determine if supplementary measures should be taken.
Noise Information
- Measurements as per ISO Norm 7960; Annexe D
Dust emission
The dust emission examination has been carried out by the following approved body:
Prüfinstitut für Holzstaubmessungen
Institut für Werkzeugmaschinen - Universität Stuttgart - Germany
Measurements as per DIN 933 893 ( GS-HO- 05 )
Measurements show that the TRK- value of 2mg/m3 has not been exeeded.
