●

Riving knife thickness is 2.5 mm.

●

The maximum radial distance between the riving knife and the toothed rim of the saw
blade is 5 mm.

●

The tip of the riving knife shall not be lower than 5 mm from the tooth peak.

WARNING

● Noise can be a health hazard. When the noise level exceeds 85dB(A), be sure to wear ear protection.

● To avoid electrical hazards, fi re hazards or damage to the table saw, use proper circuit protection. This

table saw is wired at the factory for 230-240 Volt operation. It must be connected to a 230-240 Volt / 6.5
Ampere time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fi re, replace power cord immediately if it is
worn, cut or damaged in any way. Before using your table saw, it is critical that you read and understand
these safety rules. Failure to follow these rules could result in serious injury to you or damage to the table
saw.

● Through poor conditions of the electrical MAINS, shortly voltage drops can appear when starting the
EQUIPMENT. This can infl uence other equipment (e.g. blinking of a lamp). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax <

0.3 OHM, such disturbances are not expected. (In case of need, you may contact your local supply authority
for further information).

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING

When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fi re, electric
shock and personal injury.

Read all these instructions before attempting to
operate your product. Save these instructions for future
reference.

1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR. Cluttered areas and
benches invite injuries.

2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Do not
expose tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet
locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tools in
the presence of fl ammable liquids or gases.

3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Avoid body
contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.

4. KEEP OTHER PEOPLE AWAY. Do not let others,
especially children, not involved in the work touch the
tool or the extension lead and keep them away from
the work area.

5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should
be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach of
children.

6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

7. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force small tools
to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools
for purposes not intended; for example do not use
circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs.

8. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery, they can be caught in moving parts.
Non-skid footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.

9. USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. Use safety
glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting operations
create dust.

10. CONNECT DUST EXTRACTION EQUIPMENT.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are
connected and properly used.

11. DO NOT ABUSE THE CABLE. Never pull the cable
to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edge.

12. SECURE WORK. Where possible use clamps or a
vise to hold the work. It’s safer than using your hand.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all time.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and
if damaged have them repaired by an authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits, cutters, disconnect tools from the power
supply.

16. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning it on.

17. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Ensure switch
is in “off” position when plugging in.

18. USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION LEADS. When the
tool is used outdoors, use only extension leads
intended for outdoor use and so marked.

19. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use
common sense and do not operate the tool when you
are tired.

20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, it should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check the alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting
and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction
manual. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Check that the power supply and plug used is in accordance with your table saw. Have a look at the rating plate of the
motor or the rating on the table saw. Any changes should always be carried out by a qualifi ed electrician.

WARNING

Avoid contact with the terminals on the plug when installing (removing) the plug to (from) the power supply

outlet. Contact will cause a severe electrical shock.

USING AN EXTENSION LEAD

The use of any extension lead will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating
and motor burn-out, ask advice from a qualifi ed electrician to determine the minimum wire size of the extension lead.
