Unpacking

This product is packed into 2 parts; 1 wooden crate and 1 long cardboard carton.

Cut the straps and remove the lid of the crate
from the base.

Remove the plastic cover and the items
packed loosely around the base.

Remove two bolts holding the machine to the
pallet.

Lay the saw onto its side to remove further
items which are packed inside the floor stand
of the machine.

The second package, the long carton,
contains 5 aluminium extrusions.

Assembly

While the machine is on its side, take the four
feet from the bag of parts and screw them into
the four holes in the base. These feet can be
adjusted by means of a spanner to level the
saw table after the machine has been put into
place.

Return the saw to a vertical position.

The cast iron table is coated with a layer of grease to prevent rust. This is easily removed
with a soft cloth moistened with paraffin or WD40.

Raise the saw blade by turning the fitted hand
wheel at the front of the machine clockwise.

Fit the other hand wheel from the bag of
components to the spindle on the right hand side
of the saw. Tighten the grub screw so that it
engages with the flat on the spindle.

Turn the wheel clockwise until the blade is
vertical, if it is not already in this position.

There are two brackets at the front of the saw
table and a similar pair at the back.

Each one has two hex headed bolts and nuts
passing through it and a small black adjuster at
the back.

Loosen the nuts and, lifting each bolt head in turn,
slide one of the 100cm long square aluminium
extrusions over them.

The extrusion with the measuring scale (Rip
Fence Guide Rail) should be fitted to the front of
the table, scale uppermost and in both cases the
open side should face outwards.
If they are difficult to slide on, make sure that you
have slackened the nuts sufficiently and rock the
extrusions gently as you move them along.
You may need to reach round to the back of the
brackets and unscrew the black adjusters a little,
if they are binding on the aluminium.

Join the two parts of the rip fence using one cap
head setscrew and one hex head bolt.

Place the rip fence over the front guide rail, so the
lip of the fence bracket sits behind the rail.

Position the rip fence parallel to and up against
the saw blade.

Whilst holding it in that position, adjust the guide
rail to align the 0cm on the measuring scale with
the left hand edge of the black part of the fence
bracket.

Having done this you can tighten up the 4 nuts on
the brackets underneath, locking the guide rail in
place.

The small black adjusting screws are used to
align the guide rail so that the rip fence is parallel
with the blade no matter where it is along the
length of the rail.

Now take the first of the extension tables, loosen
the nuts and bolts and slide it onto the guide rails.

Follow it with the second one and tighten all the
locking nuts and bolts. If the tables do not slide
into place easily, check that the front and back
guide rails are really parallel and adjust the rear
one if necessary.
Do not move the front rail or you will upset the
alignment of the rip fence.

Slide the hose support clip onto the rear guide rail
and lock it into place.

Fit the dust collection hose to the saw guard and
the spigot on the rear extraction point. Secure in
place with the two hose clamps provided.

Clip the hose into the support arm to hold it clear
of the table.

It is strongly recommended you use a dust
extractor at all times, by connecting a hose to
the 100mm outlet.
Failure to use an extractor will require
stopping the machine regularly to clean out of
the internal parts of the extraction hood, to
avoid causing damage.

Fit the two support arms which will carry the guide
rail for the sliding carriage.
These are bolted to the left hand side of the table
with four countersunk bolts. Fit the wide guide rail
extrusion by sliding it over the heads of the eight
securing bolts.
Position the sliding carriage guide rail so that the
back edge of the rail is level with the back side of
the rear guide rail. Ensure the guide rail is parallel
to the saw blade before tightening the eight nuts.
You may need to reposition the rail when making
mitre cuts.

Before fitting the sliding carriage it should be
noted that the two outboard bearing wheels are
mounted on eccentrics.

Should it ever be necessary their position can be
adjusted with the aid of a 14 mm spanner.

The guide rail is fitted with front and rear travel
stops.

Move the rear travel stop to the back of the slot.
Remove the front stop completely and fit the

sliding carriage onto the guide rail so that the four
bearing guides are located in the matching
grooves along the sides of the rail.
Replace the front stop.

Identify the crosscut fence. Place it with the open
side, face down and the plastic tip to the right.
Slide the pivot block and the locking block onto
the back side of the fence with the head of the
bolt in the T-slot.
The Locking block has a T-shaped foot plate,
slide it into the slot in the sliding carriage table.
The Work clamp passes through the pivot block
and locates in the large hole at the front of the
carriage.
The work clamp should be locked in place using a

small grub screw in the front edge of the carriage.
Fit the flip-over length stop by feeding the head of

the bolt into the T-shaped slot on the top side of
the fence.

The ratchet handle locks the stop in place.
The stop plate can be flipped over to engage or

disengage it.

From underneath the carriage, push up the
locating stop.
Use a square to check the crosscut fence is set at
90 degrees to the blade.
If necessary, adjust the stop by loosening the
locking ring and grub screw. Put a screwdriver
into the slot to rotate the stop to set the angle.

Check the Sliding carriage is level to the main
table. It should also be slightly higher (up to 1mm)
than the main table to allow a clamped work piece
to move across the main table.

If necessary, loosen and adjust the four silver
support brackets to lift or level the sliding carriage.

The sliding mitre fence can be used on either side
of the blade.

Slide the T-shape bar into the slot in the main
table.

The large knob is used to unlock the angle, which
can be read from the scale on the front.

On/Off Switch

Slide the red section upwards and then lift the hinged cover. This will give you access to the
green start and red stop buttons. Pressing the red section of the cover will stop the saw.

To turn the saw on, press the green button. Wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed
of rotation before commencing with the cut.
The machine is fitted with an NVR (No Voltage Release) switch. This type of switch is
designed so that if the machine is disconnected from the mains whilst running and then
reconnected, the motor will not automatically restart.

Blade Height

Adjustments to the blade height should be made only when the saw is not running.
Turn the round hand wheel on the front, to set the blade to the required depth. Turn
anticlockwise to lower the blade, turn clockwise to raise the blade. The blade height should
always be set so that only the carbide tips of the blade (approx. 5mm) projects above the
wood.

Blade Angle

Adjustments to the angle of cut should be made only when the saw is not running.
To tilt the blade for making bevel cuts, undo the blade angle lock, rotate the hand wheel to
the required angle using the scale provided for guidance. Lock the angle by pressing down
the locking lever.

Making a cut

Ensure there is enough space around the table
for the work piece before starting the cut. Position
your feet in a stable and balanced stance.
When feeding the timber, place your hands on
the section of timber being kept. Never hold the
waste part of the timber.
Never force timber through the saw, always let it
cut at its own speed.
When cutting narrow pieces - use a push stick.

Ripping Cut

The rip fence is used to make longitudinal (with
the grain) cuts. Set the fence to the required
dimension using the scale provided.
To avoid kickback, the far end of the fence
extrusion should be set correctly.
When cutting narrow pieces, the fence extrusion
should be set so that the end is level with the
centre of the saw blade. This allows the timber
space to expand into, after the cut has been
made.

When cutting wider pieces the fence extrusion
can be moved further towards the back of the blade, in a line projecting at roughly at 45
degrees out from the centre of the blade.

Cross Cutting

This saw has 2 options for making cross cuts: Using the sliding mitre fence or using the
sliding carriage.

Sliding Mitre Fence

The sliding mitre fence is most suitable for cutting
small pieces. It fits into either of the T-shaped
channels in the table. To set 90 degrees or any
other angle, undo the locking knob and rotate the
quadrant to the desired angle. The work piece
can be held against either face of the fence.

Sliding Carriage

The sliding carriage is more suitable when
working with large flat panels.
To use the sliding carriage pull the table all the
way forward.
Set the flip over stop to the desired width of cut.

If an angle is to be cut, undo the thumb screw and
ratchet lever, swing the fence to the desired angle
and lock them both off.

If necessary, undo both thumb screws and adjust
the fence so that the plastic tip is just clear of the
blade.

Load the wood onto the carriage and screw
down the work clamp to secure it. Press the start
button and push the wood through the saw blade.

An alternative configuration is available for the sliding carriage. The fence can be assembled
onto the back edge of the table in a mirror image of the standard configuration. The work
piece is loaded against the back edge of the fence and then fed onto the blade.
Using this configuration, the crosscut capacity can be increased and the sliding carriage
guide rail can be moved backwards so that it does not obstruct the operator.

Blade Removal and Replacement

Unplug the saw from the power source.
Raise the blade to its maximum height and

remove the saw guard from the riving knife.

Remove the right hand table insert, using a
4mm Hex key to remove the two screws.

Use the special spanner supplied, lock the
spindle by fitting it over the black locking
washer.

Then use a 13mm spanner to undo the blade
locking bolt.

Remove the bolt, flat washer and locking
washer. The blade can now be removed from
the shaft.

Reverse this procedure to fit the new blade.
