ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS -
MITRE SAWS
The following specific safety instructions for Mitre
Saws are based on the requirements of
EN 61029-2-11
BLADE SAFETY
WARNING: Rotating Circular Saw Blades are
extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury
and amputation. Always keep fingers and hands
at least 150mm away from the blade at all times.
Never attempt to retrieve sawn material until the
cutting head is in the raised position, the guard
is fully closed and the saw blade has stopped
rotating.
Only use saw blades that are recommended by
the manufacturer and as detailed in this manual
and that comply with the requirements of
EN 847-1.
Do Not use saw blades that are damaged or
deformed as they could shatter and cause serious
injury to the operator or bystanders.
Do Not use saw blades that are manufactured
from high speed steel (HSS).
If the table insert becomes damaged or worn it
must be replaced with an identical one available
from the manufacturer as detailed in this manual.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Hearing protection should be worn in order
to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to prevent
the possibility of the loss of sight from ejected
chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some
wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce dust
that can be hazardous to your health.
We recommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine
in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades
or rough material. It is recommended that saw
blades should be carried in a holder wherever
practicable. It is not advisable to wear gloves
when operating the mitre saw.
SAFE OPERATION
Always ensure that you have selected the correct
saw blade for the material being cut.
Do Not use this mitre saw to cut materials other
than those specified in this instruction Manual.
When transporting a mitre saw ensure that the
cutting head is locked in the 90 degree down
position (if a sliding mitre saw ensure that
the slide bars are locked). Lift the machine by
gripping the outer edges of the base with both
hands (if a sliding mitre saw, transport using the
handles provided). Under no circumstances shall
the machine be lifted or transported using the
retractable guard or any part of its operating
mechanism.
Before each use check the operation of the
retractable guard and its operating mechanism
ensuring that there is no damage, and that all
moving parts operate smoothly and correctly.
Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all
debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts.
Always check and ensure that the speed marked
on the saw blade is at least equal to the no load
speed marked on the mitre saw.
Under no circumstances shall a saw blade be used
that is marked with a speed that is
less than the no load speed marked on the mitre
saw.
Where it is necessary to use spacer or reducing
rings these must be suitable for the intended
purpose and only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
The saw blade shall only be replaced as detailed
in this Instruction Manual.
Never attempt to retrieve off-cuts or any other
part of the work piece until the cutting head is in
the raised position, the guard is fully closed and
the saw blade has stopped rotating.
