We are under no obligation to provide goods to you at an incorrect (lower) price if the pricing error is obvious & could reasonably have been recognised by you as a pricing error.

 

3 Invoices:

Goods are invoiced at the prices ruling at the time of despatch. VAT where applicable will be applied to all goods or services supplied at the rate in force at the time of invoice.

If for any reason the customer fails, or refuses to take delivery of the goods at the time that such goods are due & ready for delivery, the customer will be in breach of contract.

This may include such aspects as correct assembly, electrical installation, construction of enclosures, fitting of guards & chip & dust extraction equipment. When installing the machine, consideration must be given to adequate lighting & working space.

USERS: Where applicable, machines are supplied complete with all necessary safeguards to enable the user to comply with the Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992, & where applicable, Regulation 20 & Regulation 39 of the Woodworking Machinery Regulations 1974. Details of correct installation & use together with guidance on fitting & proper adjustment of guards are described in accompanying manuals. The user shall shall carry out a risk assessment to ensure that the machine is safe & without risk to health & safety prior to use. Under the above legislation, employers have a legal duty to ensure that guards & other safety devices are suitable, & are maintained in efficient working order & in good repair. Employees also have to take responsible care for their's & other's health & safety, & cooperate with their employer in meeting health & safety requirements. Before commencing work, ensure that tools are set to cut in the right direction, secured, & sharp. Ensure that all guards & safety devices are working properly.

TRAINING: Machine operators must have received sufficient training & instruction as to the dangers arising in connection with the machine, precautions to be observed, & the requirements of the Woodworking Machinery Regulations 1974 which apply except where they work under the adequate supervision of a person who has a thorough knowledge & experience of the machine & the required safeguards. Persons under the age of 18 must have successfully completed an approved course of training before operating this machine at work unless participating in a course of training under adequate supervision. (This applies only to any sawing machine fitted with a circular blade, any planing machine for surfacing which is not mechanically fed, or any vertical spindle moulding machine).

DUST: Employers have duties under the Factories Act 1961. The Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974 & the Control of Substances Hazardous To Health regulations 1994 to control dust in the workplace. Wood dust can be harmful to health by inhalation & skin contact, & no-one should be exposed to airborne concentrations of wood dust greater than 5mg/cm averaged over & 8 hour day. In addition, concentrations of small dust particles in the air can form an explosive mixture. These concentrations usually occur in dust extraction equipment which may be destroyed unless explosion precautions have been taken in the design & installation of the equipment. Employers must carry out an adequate assessment of the risks to their employees' health arising from wood dust, & steps taken to control it, by, so far as is reasonably practicable, exhaust ventilation & enclosures rather than by the use of personal protective equipment.

NOISE: Noise levels can vary widely from machine to machine depending on conditions of use. The Noise at Work Regulations 1989 require employers to take reasonable practicable measures to reduce noise levels where any person is likely to be exposed to a continuous noise level of 90dB(A) or more over an 8 hour working day. Additionally, employers must make available suitable ear protectors at equivalent noise levels of 85dB(A) & ensure that they are properly maintained & worn at levels of 90dB(A) or more. Information about airborne noise emissions from machines can be found in manufacturers' instruction manuals. Where necessary to construct a sound enclosure, professional advice should be sought.
