Additional Safety Rules for Saw
Benches
• Do not use saw blades with a body thickness
greater or a width of tooth smaller than the
thickness of the riving knife(splitter).
• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct
direction and that the teeth are pointing to the
front of the saw bench.
• Be sure all clamp handles are tight before
starting any operation.
• Be sure all blade and flanges are clean and
the recessed sides of the collar are against the
blade. Tighten the arbor nut securely.
• Keep the saw blade sharp and properly set.
• Make sure that the splitter is adjusted to the
correct distance from the blade - maximum
5mm.
• Never operate the saw without the upper and
lower guards in place.
• Do not have any part of your body in line with
the blade. Personal injury may occur. Stand to
either side of the blade.
• Disconnect the saw from the mains supply
before changing blades or carrying out
maintenance.
• Use a push stick to feed the workpiece at all
times, and ensure that you do not place hands
closer than 150 mm from the saw blade while
cutting.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collecting equipment,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never yank the cord to disconnect it from
the socket. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Never carry the tool by its
cord.
12. Secure work.
Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold
the work. It is safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better
and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
tools periodically and if damaged have them
repaired by an authorised service facility. Keep
handles and switches dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits and
cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting
keys and wrenches are removed from the tool
before operating the tool.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Be sure that the tool is in the “off” position
before plugging in.
18. Use outdoor extension leads.
Before use, inspect the extension cable and
replace if damaged. When the tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for
outdoor use and marked accordingly.
19. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
20. Check for damaged parts.
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains
cable to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
