Description

The Hammer K3 Winner is a 230V single phase 4HP European-style sliding table saw. It can preform secured rip cuts up to 48" and cross cuts up to 48". It accepts 10" (250mm) and 12" (300/315mm) saw blades with a 30mm arbor and locator pinholes as well as 6" dado tooling up to 3/4" width.

Safety and Certification

Hazards

  • Saw blades are very sharp and strong. They are capable of grabbing, maiming, cutting, or/and dismembering body parts.
  • Saw blade spins at 4800 RPM and is capable of throwing unsecured work pieces and debris at operator and beyond
  • Saw is rated at 230V/13A and may cause electrocution if improperly grounded
  • Sawing produces fine dust that affects respiratory health
  • Large work pieces may fall off the saw and injure if improperly handled or secured

Prohibited Operations

  • Modifying/hacking the saw and its original accessories
  • Bypassing of saw safety features
  • Cutting green wood, metals or lumber containing screws/nails
  • Cutting very short/small lumber - use a bandsaw or hand tools instead
  • Cutting lumber that exceeds saw capacity - use a track saw instead

Pre-Operational Safety

  • Check self for loose clothing, hair and jewelry. Remove gloves.
  • Clear the saw top of extraneous objects and remove any excess dust or debris from operational parts
  • Ensure that dust collection is properly connected, functioning and isn’t clogged by debris. Make sure that correct blast gates are open/closed to divert the air path to the saw.
  • Make sure that saw parts are functioning as intended and that nothing is loose or damaged
  • Set up any jigs, fences and safety equipment before turning the saw on
  • When moving the saw from the home position, set the safety switch to the OFF position and disconnect the twist-lock connector from the wall outlet. Move the saw using the lifting bar only. Reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet using the twist-lock extension cord.

Operational Safety

  • Take note of the emergency switch on the left side of the saw (under the sliding table). Push button to activate the switch. Pull and twist the button to reset.
  • Turn on the dust collection before turning the saw on. Let the dust collection work for at least 10 seconds after turning the saw off.
  • Position your body so that it’s not in line with the blade to avoid injuries related to kickback or other occurrences
  • Secure workpieces against fences, stops or clamps - do not make free-hand cuts
  • Use push stick as needed to support smaller material and to clear debris. Do not reach in toward the blade with your bare hands.
  • Saw blade height should be set just slightly higher than workpiece height for through cuts, making sure it clears the knob on the blade guard. For groove/dado cuts, the stack should be no higher than half the material height.
  • Do not reach over blade until it has stopped moving
  • Do not leave saw until blade has come to a complete stop
  • Do not adjust the blade or fences while the blade is spinning

  • Moving saw with lifting bar
  • Raise/lower/tilt saw blade

End of Operation and Clean-up
