Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations

and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result

in electric shock, fire 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

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body

is earthed or grounded.

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 ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk

of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,

for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off-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

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 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

can reduce dust-related hazards.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools

 When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding

force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a

push stick when the distance between the fence

and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a

push block when this distance is less than 50 mm.

“Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe

distance from the saw blade.

 Use only the push stick provided by the

manufacturer or constructed in accordance with

the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient

position and guide the workpiece. “Freehand” means

using your hands to support or guide the workpiece,

in lieu of a rip fence or miter gauge. Freehand sawing

leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.

 Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.

Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental

contact with the moving saw blade.

 Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear

and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide

workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide

jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can

cause kickback or stall the motor.

 Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the

saw is running. The material may become trapped

between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and

the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade.

Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops

before removing material.

 Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top

when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A

fence or other fixed object.

towards the operator.

taking proper precautions as given below.

 Never stand directly in line with the saw blade.

Always position your body on the same side of the

fingers into the saw blade.

 Never hold and press the workpiece that is being

cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the

workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will

create a binding condition and kickback.

 Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A

misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the

saw blade and create kickback.

 Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against

the table and fence when making non-through

 Support large panels to minimize the risk of saw

blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to

sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed

under all portions of the panel overhanging the table

top.

 Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that

is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a

straight edge to guide it with a miter gauge or along

the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is

unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the

the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If

the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and

cause kickback when the saw is restarted.

 Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient

set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades

with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set

saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

 Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power

cord when removing the throat plate, changing

a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an

uncontrolled hazard.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

 Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area

where you can maintain good footing and balance.

It should be installed in an area that provides

enough room to easily handle the size of your

workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery

floors invite accidents.

 Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under

before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a

potential jam can be dangerous.

 Always use saw blades with correct size and shape

(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades

that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw

will run off-centre, causing loss of control.

 Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade

mounting means such as flanges, saw blade

washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were

specially designed for your saw, for safe operation and

wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw.

Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories

not recommended may cause serious injury.

 Know your power tool. Read the operator’s manual

carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and limitations

as well as the specific potential hazards related to this

tool.

 Make workshop childproof with padlocks and

master switches, or by removing starter keys.

 Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your
