ADJUSTMENTS After every new adjustment we recommend you to make a trial cut in order to check the new settings. PARALLEL FENCE FENCE HEIGHT The parallel fence has two different guide faces. • For thick material you should use the high side of the parallel fence. • For thin material you should use the low side of the parallel fence. To change the parallel fence from one to the other you have to: 1. Loosen the two knurled screws. 2. Remove the parallel fence from the holder. 3.
MITRE GAUGE 1. Insert the guide bar into one end of the groove on the table. 2. Loosen the handle by twisting it counterclockwise. 3. Rotate the fence until the arrow points to the angle you want. 4. Retighten the handle. CUTTING DEPTH Turn the hand crank to set the blade to the required cutting depth. • Turn anti-clockwise larger cutting depth. • Turn clockwise smaller cutting depth. SETTING THE BLADE ANGLE 1. Release the fixing handle. 2. Move the handle until the saw blade is at the desired angle. 3.
BEFORE PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO OPERATION • All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the machine is switched on. • When working with wood that has been used before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or screws etc. • Before you switch on, make sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the machine's moving parts run smoothly. • Before you connect the machine to the power supply, make sure the data on the rating plate is the same as that for your mains supply.
CUTTING TIPS RIPPING CUTS Ripping is when you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood. The parallel fence must always be used when making ripping cuts. 1. Press one edge of the workpiece against the parallel fence while the flat side lies on the saw table. • The guard hood must always be lowered over the workpiece and blade. • When you make a ripping cut, never adopt a working position that is in line with the cutting direction. 2.
CUTTING NARROW WORKPIECES Always use a push stick when the workpiece is smaller then 120 mm in width. When not in use, place the push stick in its storage clip on the side of the saw. Replace a worn or damaged push stick immediately. BEVEL CUTS Bevel cuts must always be made using the parallel fence. 1. Undo the fixing handle. 2. Turn the handle to set the desired angle on the scale. 3. Lock the fixing handle to lock the blade at the selected angle. 4. Set the parallel fence. 5.
CROSS CUTS 1. Slide the mitre gauge into one of the grooves in the table. 2. Adjust the mitre gauge to the required angle. 3. If you also want to tilt the blade, use the groove which prevents your hand and the mitre gauge from making contact with the blade guard. 4. Press the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge. 5. Switch on the saw. 6. Push the mitre gauge and the workpiece toward the blade to make the cut. IMPORTANT: Always hold the guided part of the workpiece.
AFTER USE TRANSPORT 1. Remove all the parts of the saw that could make transport more difficult. 2. Swing the stabiliser legs into the closed position and secure using the latch shown below. 3. Starting with the leg on the right of the machine, support the table saw buy holding the extension table, then rotate the locking plate to release the leg. 4.
