CONTENTS The following items should be supplied in the carton. If any parts are missing, do not operate your table saw until the missing parts are obtained.
SAFETY WARNINGS CAUTION: DO NOT LET FAMILIARITY WITH YOUR TABLE SAW MAKE YOU CARELESS. REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE SEVERE INJURY. PERMITTED USAGE 3. Keep the work area well lit. The table saw is constructed exclusively for the sawing of wood. The appropriate saw blade should be fitted according to the cut type and the wood type (solid wood, chipboard or plywood). 4. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids and gases. 5.
13. Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable for damage or any other condition that may affect its operation. Do not use the tool if any part is damaged or defective. 22. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply. 23. Don't abuse the cable. Never yank the cable to disconnect it from the mains supply. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges. 14.
41. Unplug the tool - Switch off and wait for the blade to come to a complete standstill before leaving it unattended. 32. NEVER perform any operation freehand, which means using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Always use either the fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide the work. 42. Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. A soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.
• NEVER reach around or over the saw blade. NEVER reach for a workpiece until the saw blade has completely stopped. • Always hold work firmly against the mitre gauge or rip fence. • NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. keep your hands out of the saw blade path. • Make sure that the blade and flanges are clean and the recessed sides of the collar are against the blade. Tighten the arbor nut securely.
3. Only use saw blades recommended by the manufacturer and which are the exact bore and diameter required for this machine. Do not use any spacers to make a blade fit onto the spindle. Use only the blades specified in this manual, which comply with EN 847-1. d. by not releasing the workpiece until you have pushed it all the way past the blade, e. not ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

BEFORE STARTING WORK • 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, remove all foreign bodies such as nails or screws etc before cutting. • 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.
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 gauge until the arrow points to the angle on the scale you want. 4. Retighten the handle. NOTE: If required you can remove the fence from the parallel fence assembly and attach it to the mitre gauge using the 2 locking knobs from the parallel fence. SETTING BLADE HEIGHT Turn the blade height adjusting handle to set the blade to the required height.
OPERATION CAUTION: BEFORE STARTING UP THE SAW ALWAYS CHECK THE FOLLOWING POINTS: 1. Is the saw blade firmly tightened? 2. Are all the locking levers firmly locked? 3. Is the riving knife aligned with the saw blade? 4. Is the saw blade guard fitted? 5. Make sure that the fences are not touching the saw blade. 6. Can the saw blade rotate freely? 7. Are there any wood pieces jammed between the saw blade and the table insert? 8. Have all loose workpieces been removed from the table saw? 9.
OVERLOAD RESET BUTTON This table saw has a thermal overload protection device. If the saw gets too hot, the thermal overload device cuts the power which prevents damage to the motor. If the thermal overload device operates, let the motor cool down for 5 minutes and push the reset button located just below the ON (I) button If you start the saw and the overload cutout operates again, disconnect from the power supply and have your table saw examined by a qualified service agent.
6. Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife using a push stick. 7. Do not remove the offcut piece until the blade has stopped spinning. 8. Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.). 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.
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. Press the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge. 4. Switch on the saw. 5. Push the mitre gauge and the workpiece toward the blade to make the cut. IMPORTANT: Always hold the guided part of the workpiece. Never hold the part which is to be cut off. 6. Push the mitre gauge forward until the workpiece is cut all the way through. 7. Switch off the saw.
