Normal
use and
prohibited
use
CIRCULAR
SAW
The
table
saw
assembly
is
designed
for the
following
working processes
and
equiped with pro-
tective devices.
It is not
designed
to
work materials
such
as
ferrous
or
non-ferrous materials,
and
therefore tasks
that
differ
from
the
ones stated below
are
prohibited.
-
Ripping
with
the
parallel
saw
fence
with/without
tilted
saw
blade with
the
fence
upright
or in
the low
position.
-
Right-angled
or
miter
cuts
with
the 90°
fence mounted
to the
sliding table with tilted
or
verti-
cal
saw
blade.
-
Cross cutting workpieces with
the
adjustable stop
on the 90°
fence.
-
Cuttting 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/or
guard;
-
all
types
of
cuts
without using
the
table
saw
fence,
the 90°
fence
or
sliding table;
-
cutting large workpieces
that
exceed
the
table capacity without using aids
such
as
roller sup-
ports.
REMAINING
RISKS
Main
risks
on a
table
saw are :
-
unintentional
contact
of the
hands with
the
running
saw
blade;
-
workpiece kickback;
-
tipping
of the
workpiece
due to
insufficient
support.
MOULDER-SHAPER
The
shaper assembly
is
designed
for the
following
tasks
and
equiped with protective devices.
Other tasks
than
listed below
are
therefore prohibited.
-
mould
and
form straight
and
curved pieces
on the
vertical spindle;
-
shaping
of
curved workpieces using
a
ring guard fence;
-
mortising, tenoning
and
panel edge shaping using corresponding
safety
devices
PROHIBITED
USE
The
following
tasks
are
prohibited
on the
moulder-shaper
unit:
-
down-cut shaping, i.e. when
feed
and
tool rotation direction
is the
same
-
slotting with
saw
blades
-
using tool diameters which
are not
adapted
to the
spindle
by
using reducing sleeves
-
using larger tool diameters
and
higher speeds
than
shown
in the
diameter-speed diagram.
-
the use of
ferrous
and
non-ferrous materials
REMAINING
RISKS
Spindle
shapers
are one the
main causes
of
injuries
in
woodworking. Nearly
all
accidents result
in
hand injuries. They
are due to
contact
with
the
rotating tool when
the
workpiece
is fed by
hand
and
kickback occurs
due to
sudden forward movement
of the
workpiece.
The
main danger areas
on the
shaper-moulder
are :
-
the
working area
-
the
moving machine
and
tool parts
- the
kickback area
Always
use
appropriate protection devices,
and
always observe
the
specific regulations
for
acci-
dent prevention.
