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
The table saw is constructed exclusively for the sawing of wood. The
appropriate saw blade should be fitted according to the wood type (solid
wood, chipboard or plywood).

8. Support long workpieces with the table extension. A roller stand can be
used to give further support for large items).
CUTTING NARROW WORKPIECES
Always use a push stick when the workpiece is narrow and for holding the
workpiece flat on the table.
Take extra care to keep you thumbs away from the saw blade when feeding
the workpiece past the blade.

When not in use, store the push stick
in its holder on the side of the saw.
Replace a lost damaged push stick
immediately.
MITRE CUTS
1. Adjust the fence to the required
angle against the mitre gauge
and lock in place with the cam
lever.
2. Set the hinged stop in position
with its thumbscrew.
3. Hold the workpiece against the
fence while pressing against the
hinged stop.
4. Switch on the saw.
5. With the workpiece resting on the mitre table push forward 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 table forward until the workpiece is cut all the way through.
7. Switch off and DO NOT remove the offcut until the blade has stopped.
BEVEL CUTS
Bevel cuts will be made using the
parallel fence.
1. Undo the bevel lock handles (x2)
and set the saw to the desired
angle as displayed on the scale.
2. Tighten the bevel handles at
each side of the machine to lock
the blade at the selected angle.
3. Set the parallel fence.
4. Perform the cut as you would for a ripping cut.
If precision is required, use a protractor between the blade and table.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CARRYING OUT ANY ADJUSTMENT OR MAINTENANCE.
Your saw has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper tool care and regular cleaning.
NEVER use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
1. Remove dust regularly from the machine. Cleaning is best carried out with
a fine brush.
2. Regularly clean the table top.
3. Regularly clean the dust collection outlet.
4. Use a half-round file if necessary to keep the teeth sharp. A blade that is
badly dulled or with damaged teeth should be replaced immediately.
CHANGING THE BLADE
1. Remove the saw guard then
remove the table insert from the
table top using 4 screws.
2. Raise the saw blade fully.
3. Remove the riving knife by
removing the securing nut.
4. Use the two open C-spanners
provided to prevent the motor
from turning and undo the saw
blade securing nut (normal
thread).
5. Remove the outer retaining disc
followed by the saw blade by
lifting it clear of the motor shaft
and carefully withdrawing it from
above.

6. Replace in reverse order ensuring the saw blade teeth face downwards at
the front of the table.
• The arrow on the face of the blade will show the direction of
rotation.
7. Hold the blade firmly when tightening the centre nut, taking care to avoid
injuring your hands on the sharp teeth.
IMPORTANT: Note the running direction. The cutting angle of the teeth must
point in the running direction, i.e. forwards (see arrow on the blade guard).
8. Refit the riving knife and ensure
that it lines up with the saw blade.
It is secured with the nut shown.
9. Adjust the clearance between
the saw blade so that it is
between 2 and 5mm.
10. Refit the table insert and the
blade guard.
11. Check that all components are
properly mounted and in good
working condition before you begin working with the saw again.
NOTE: Replacement blades manufactured to EN847-1 standards are
available from your CLARKE dealer, Part No 649220.
