22 - Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce risk of
electric shock
23 - If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)"
or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual
Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that
the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in
the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Table Saw Safety
WARNING: ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment, including but not limited to eye protection, ear
defenders, a suitable dust mask and suitable gloves when using a saw table. Ensure all people in the vicinity of
the work area use adequate protection. Keep bystanders a safe distance away.
WARNING: ALWAYS connect the dust extraction port on the blade guard to a suitable vacuum dust
extraction system when sawing wood. Certain types of wood are toxic or may cause allergic reactions in people
and animals, especially when exposed to very fine dust. ALWAYS wear appropriate respiratory protection in addition to
vacuum dust extraction.
WARNING: The rated speed of the saw blade must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed could break and fly apart.
a) ONLY fit circular saws that are listed as compatible in 'Specifications' to the saw table. ONLY use compatible
saw blades, ensuring that the riving knife is not thicker than the blade kerf, and not thinner than the saw blade.
b) ENSURE your work area is safe and sufficiently lightened, without obstructions, trip hazards or any other
potential dangers.
c) NEVER attempt to cut metals or drywall products containing masonry with this table saw. It is exclusively
designed for use with wood and wood-like products.
d) DO NOT attempt to use a molding head with this saw table. The compatible circular saws and the table setup
are not suitable for this kind of cutting.
e) ALWAYS ensure the work area is well ventilated. Remove sawdust frequently and clean out sawdust from the
saw, to prevent a potential fire hazard.
f) NEVER attempt to remove wood fragments or dust from the blade with your hands whilst the blade is
spinning. ALWAYS switch the saw off, disconnect the machine from the power supply, and wait until the blade has
come to a standstill. ALWAYS use cut-proof gloves when touching the saw blade, to avoid injury.
g) NEVER leave the saw running unattended. After switching off, DO NOT leave the saw table, until the blade has
come to a complete stop.
h) CAREFULLY read the instructions listed in 'Kickback Prevention', and follow these recommendations when
using a saw table.
i) ALWAYS feed the workpiece into the blade AGAINST the direction of rotation. The feed direction is indicated
by the arrow moulded into the table surface.
j) ALWAYS use the parallel fence when making rip cuts. Ensure the fence is parallel to the blade, it MUST NOT be
angled towards the blade, and securely lock the fence at both ends.
k) ALWAYS secure the workpiece firmly against the rip fence or mitre gauge. NEVER use the rip fence during the
same operation as the mitre gauge.
l) NEVER remove the blade guard or riving knife. Riving knives are also known under the term 'spreaders'.
m) ALWAYS use a push stick when ripping narrow workpieces, so your hand does not come close to the saw
blade. The push stick must ALWAYS be narrower than the workpiece, to prevent the push stick from coming into
contact with the blade. Use a featherboard and push blocks for non-through cuts. Store the push stick with the
saw, when not in use.
n) NEVER perform any free-hand operations, only supporting the workpiece with your hands. ALWAYS use
either the rip fence or a mitre fence to position and guide the work.
o) NEVER reach behind, over or within 75mm (3") of the blade, with either hand, for any reason.
p) ALWAYS move the rip fence out of the way when making cross cuts. NEVER use the rip fence as a cut-off
gauge when cross cutting.
q) NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade, with the saw switched on. ALWAYS switch off and disconnect the
machine from the power supply.
r) ALWAYS support large workpieces on the in-feed and out-feed sides of the saw table, and where
necessary, also to the sides. Use roller supports or saw horses wherever possible.
s) NEVER let go of the workpiece before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade, using a push stick where
necessary.
t) AVOID irregularly shaped workpieces that do not have a straight edge to guide along the rip fence.
u) DO NOT cut round stock with table saws. DO NOT use table saws to cut logs or firewood.
v) ALWAYS avoid awkward operations and hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause your hand or other
parts of your body to come into contact with the blade.
w) INSPECT the throat plate before use. Replace throat plates that are damaged or worn.
x) ONLY use accessories listed in this manual, to be compatible with the saw table. The use of incompatible
accessories may inherently be dangerous and lead to severe injury or property damage. ALWAYS follow all safety
instructions and safe usage procedures, provided with the accessory.
y) ALWAYS switch the saw table off before disconnecting it from the power supply. This avoids accidental
starting upon reconnecting to the power supply.

Kickback Prevention

Note: Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly, as a result from being pinched, bound or misaligned, and drives
the workpiece is driven back towards the operator. It can also pull the operator's hand into the blade, resulting in
serious injury.
WARNING: Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions, however, if
precautions are taken, kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, or avoided altogether:
a) ALWAYS use the saw with the riving knife (also known as 'spreader') installed. NEVER remove the riving
knife, to prevent the kerf from closing on to the blade.
b) NEVER attempt to cut with a dull or warped blade. ALWAYS ensure the blade is suitable for the material to be
cut.
c) ALWAYS ensure the rip fence is parallel to the blade. If the fence tilts inward towards the blade, the workpiece
may come into contact with the back edge of the blade, and may be thrown back towards the user uncontrollably
as a result.
d) NEVER use the rip fence and mitre gauge simultaneously. This can lead to serious kickback and severe injury.
e) Use CAUTION when cutting large sheets. Ensure larger stock is properly supported by adequate in-feed and
out-feed supports.
f) DO NOT cut round stock or workpieces that cannot lay flat on the table. Avoid cutting twisted, distorted or
knotty wood.
g) DO NOT cut wet wood, as it produces higher friction against the saw blade. Wet sawdust can accumulate on
the blade, further increasing the likelihood of kickback.
h) ALWAYS maintain a firm grip on the workpiece, with both hands, and position your arms to resist kickback
forces.
i) Stay out of blade path and position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.
