SAFETY DEVICES
Blade guide:
The blade guide guides the blade safely and accurately, it also
covers it to reduce the risk of operator injury. The blade guide
should be set so that it sits just above the work-piece during
the cutting operation.
Dust extraction port:
Some wood and wood composites have the po-
tential to be highly toxic, it is advisable to connect
an adequate extraction system to the saw when-
ever it is in use. This will reduce potentially harm-
ful airborne particles from harming the operator
as well as those in the working area.
On / Off NVR (no volt release) switch:
The NVR switch is designed so that if the power to the saw
is cut, the switch will automatically switch to the “off” posi-
tion and will stay in that state even when power is returned
to the saw. It will only change if the operator over-rides
the switch by pressing the green (1) button. This is to
eliminate any chance of the saw starting un-intentionally.
Interlock switches:
Both the top and bottom doors are fitted with
safety interlock switches. These will automati-
cally turn the saw off whenever any of the
doors are opened. This is to reduce the risk of
operator injury by the unintentional opening
of the doors, or if the operator forgets to re-
move the plug from the mains supply during
cleaning or maintenance.
