SAW BLADES
1. The maximum speed of the saw
blade must always be equal to or
greater than the no-load speed of
the table saw as specified on the
rating plate.
2. Do not use saw blades which are
damaged or deformed.
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.
4. Clean the spindle, flanges
(especially the installing surface)
and hex nut before installing the
blade. Poor installation may cause
vibration/wobbling or slippage of
the blade.
5. Take care that the selection of the
saw blade is suitable for the
material to be cut.
6. Make sure the blade is not
contacting the riving knife or
workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
7. Wear gloves when handling saw
blades and rough material. Saw
blades shall be carried in a holder
whenever practicable.
KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, it causes the workpiece to be
ejected from the tool back towards
the operator. Kickbacks can lead to
serious personal injury.
You can avoid kickbacks by:
a. keeping the blade sharp,
b. keeping the rip fence parallel to
the blade,
c. keeping the riving knife and
blade guard in place and
operating properly,
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.
If you do not have a clear
understanding of kickback and how it
occurs, DO NOT operate this table
saw!
REMAINING HAZARDS
The machine has been built in
accordance with recognized safety
rules. Some remaining hazards may still
exist.
• The rotating saw blade can
cause injuries to fingers and
hands if the work piece is
incorrectly fed.
• Thrown work pieces can lead to
injury if the work piece is not
properly secured or fed, such as
working without a limit stop.
• Noise can be a health hazard.
The permitted noise level is
exceeded when working. Be
sure to wear personal protective
equipment such as ear
protection.
• Defective saw blades can
cause injuries. Regularly inspect
the structural integrity of saw
blades.
• The use of incorrect or
damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by
electricity.
• Remaining hazards can be
minimized by following the
instructions in the operating
manual.

PARALLEL FENCE
CUTTING WIDTH
The parallel fence can be mounted on either side of the saw table. If you
change the side, you will need to attach the parallel fence to the other side of
the holder.
1. Slide the parallel fence into the
guide rail of the saw table.
2. Use the scale on the guide rail to
set the parallel fence the required
distance from the blade.
3. Lock the parallel fence in the
required position by pressing
down on the locking lever.
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 thumb screws.
2. Remove the parallel fence from
the holder.
3. Remount the parallel fence onto
the holder by sliding the securing
bolt heads on the holder into the
relevant mounting slot in the
parallel fence.
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 above the Start (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.
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 blade guard must always
be lowered over the workpiece
and blade.
• When you make a ripping cut,
never stand in line with the
blade.
2. Set the parallel fence in
accordance with the workpiece height and the desired width.
3. Switch on the saw.
4. Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the workpiece and push the
workpiece along the parallel fence towards the blade.
5. Guide at the side with your left or right hand (depending on the position of
the parallel fence) only as far as the front edge of the blade guard.
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.
