Where the natural light at a woodworking machine is Light. inadequate and can be improved by the provision of additional or better windows not involving serious structural alteration, or by whitening the walls or tops of the factory, or by any other reasonable means, the owner shall take steps as aforesaid to improve the natural light at the said machine. 8. The means of artificial lighting for every woodworking ~~~cia.l machine shall be adequate, and shall be so placed or shaded as 8 · to prevent direct rays of light from impinging on the eyes of the operator while he is operating such machine. 9. (1) No person shall be employed at a woodworking Training machine unless he has been sufficiently trained to work that class ~~s~~~.er of machine or unless he works under the adequate supervision of a person who has a thorough knowledge of the working of the machine. . (2) Every person while being trained to work a woodworking machine shall be fully and carefully instructed as to the dangers arising in connection with such machine and the precautions to be observed. 10. Every circular saw shall be fenced as follows:- (a) The part of the saw below the bench table shall be protected by two plates of metal or other suitable material, one on each side of the saw; such plates shall not be more than six inches apart, and shall extend from the axis of the saw outwards to a distance of not less than two inches beyond the teeth of the saw. (b) Behind and in a direct line with the saw there shall be a riving knife, which shall have a smooth surface, shall be strong, rigid, and easily adjustable, and shall also conform to the following conditions:- (i) The edge of the knife nearer the saw shall form an arc of a circle having a radius not exceeding the radius of the largest saw used on the bench. (ii) The knife shall be maintained as close as practicable to the saw, having regard to the nature of the work being done at the time, and at the level of the bench table. the distance between the front edge of the knife and teeth of the saw shall not exceed half an inch. (iii) For a saw of a diameter of less than twenty-four inches, the knife shall extend upwards from the bench table to within one inch of the top of the saw, and for a Circular saw• 1868 Cap. 218] Machinery (Safe Working & Inspection) Push-sticks.

(c) The top of the saw shall be covered by a strong and easily adjustable guard, with a flange at the side of the saw farthest from the fence. The guard shall be kept so adjusted that the said flange shall extend below the roots of the teeth of the saw. The guard shall extend from the top of the driving knife to a point as low as practicable at the cutting edge of the saw. 11. A suitable push-stick shall be kept available for use at the bench of every circular saw which is fed by hand, to enable the work to be carried on without unnecessary risk. 12.
