GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read this owner's manual completely and make sure you understand all of its safety
guidelines.

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS & WRENCHES. Before turning on the power tool,
make sure the keys and adjusting wrenches have been removed.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4. ALWAYS REMAIN ALERT WHEN THE SAW IS IN USE. Inattention on the part of
the operator may lead to serious injury.

5. DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should remain at a safe distance from work area.

7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.

8. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.

9. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table (see Table 1) shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

10. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It has been designed to operate at maximum safety and
performance levels.

11. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL BEING CUT. Always let the tool cut at its own
speed.

12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets
or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip foot wear is reco­ mmended. Wear protective hair covering if you have long hair.

13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask for commercial
cutting operations. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.

C) Do not operate tool without guards in place.
D) Do not perform any operation freehand.
E) Never reach around saw blade. (Or never reach in back of saw blade)
F) Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing
settings.
G) Disconnect power(or unplug tool) before changing blade or servicing

7

This power tool is supplied with all the relevant safety guards and features, it should
be checked before every operation, this manual should be read and kept in a safe place.
Whilst we warn of all the possible risks attached to using power tools any operator must
have read and understood the manual and apply their own caution and common sense
when using this power tool.
Following this guide will greatly reduce your risk of electric shock or injury.

14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when
practical. This safety precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.

15. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

16. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean and in good working condition
for maximum safety performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.

17. DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING – when changing accessories, such
as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

18. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in
OFF position before plugging in.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recom­ mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may increase risk of injury.

20. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT TOOL for the job you are doing.

21. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the wet saw is tipped or if
the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

22. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, damaged part(s), (i.e.,
guard) should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other condition that may affect
the tools operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly rep­ aired or replaced.

23. Replace damaged blades immediately. DO NOT USE DAMAGED BLADES. They
may cause bodily injury.

24. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into the blade against the direction of rotation
of the blade only.

25. DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG OR USE A 2-PRONG RECEPTACLE. This saw is
equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug.

26. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power off. Don’t leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.

8

Only use qualified repair agents to service this power tool.
Only use qualified electrician to repair any damaged wiring.
NEVER remove the grounding prong from the power toll or extension cord.

Grounding Tools
Electrical Powered Connections

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

Any electric powered tool that is marked Ground Required must have fitted a three
wired power cord. The main importance of this is the green wire within the cord, this
green wire must at all times be connected to the grounding prong of the plug. This
prong must never be removed or discarded. The green wire Must NEVER be conne­cted to any other prong. The Three prong plug must only be connected to the power
supply through a three prong power outlet.
The Illustration above shows a three prong plug and outlet.

This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to
the plug illustrated in Table1. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.

Grounding Instructions

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

Any electric powered tool that is marked Double insulated only need a two prong
connection and will be perfectly safe to operate.

These tools do not require grounding as they are fitted with an additional insulation
system internally that complies with all relevant electrical safety standards.

Unlike the three prong tools these tools CAN be connected through outlets suitable
for two prong or three prong plugs.

The Illustration above shows the outlets that this type of tool can be connected to.

Power Extension Cords

Any power tool marked ‘Grounding required’ MUST only be connected to a three
wire extension cord. Only double insulated tools can be connected to two wire cords.
When using any extension cord the machine will suffer a power reduction due to
the drop in voltage caused by the length of the cord. This can be partially offset by
selecting extension cords with lower gauge wire.

e.g. Cords marked 14 gauge can carry a higher current than cords marked 16 gauge
therefore when linking extension cords make sure each cords wire gauge matches.
Note: Outdoor extension cords used in must carry the letters “W-A” (USA) or “W”
(Canada)

Check all extension cords for damage before use.
Avoid sharp objects.
Do not position the cord where it could be subject to traffic passing over it.

NOTE: Parts of leg stand (Fig.7) have the locating holes for mounting the dust bag
adaptor plate and the saw bench, these holes must be positioned to the top of the leg
stand. During assemble ensure all locking washers are used in the correct position and
that all connecting nuts and bolts are securely tightened.

1. Lay the saw bench top down.

2. Locate the dust collector bag adaptor plate (Pt.116),

3. Add the completely assembled leg stand securing both the leg stand and adaptor
plate to the machine body with the enclosed nuts bolts and locking washers.

4. Once assembled turn the complete machine over so that it now stands on the legs,
this requires two people to avoid injury when lifting.

5. Secure the dust bag (Pt.127) to the dust bag adaptor plate (Pt 116) (Fig.8)

When assembling your machine do not connect to the power supply until you have
fully read and understood this manual. After carrying out all checks and making any
necessary adjustments check that the machine switch is in the off position, connect
to the power supply and then switch the machine on and off quickly, this will allow you
to check for any loose blades or accessories without the machine gaining full speed.
Disconnect from the power supply before attempting any adjustments.

During manufacturing your machine is set and calibrated to cut accurately however
movement can occur during transit. If you find that your machine is not cutting accur­ately you can make several small adjustments easily.

Fitting the Blade’s Safety Guard

Mounting the Rip Fence

Blade height adjustment wheel.

Fitting Sliding Miter Fence

Warning: Always ensure the Rip fence is parallel to the saw blade before use to
avoid blade jam and timber kick back.

Warning. First time use or after changing the saw blade. With the machine DISC­ONNECTED from the power supply, rotate the blade carefully by hand to ensure
that nothing fouls its operation.

Mounting the blade

1. Ensure the machine is disconnected from the power supply,

2. Remove the screw holding the blade locating plate (Pt.11) in the table top, remove
the locating plate.

3. Rotate the blade height adjustment wheel to lift the motor to its highest position.

4. Remove blade locking nut (Pt.60) and outside blade washer (Pt.59), (Fig.1)

5. Fit blade ensuring blade teeth are facing forward. (Fig.1)

6. Re-fit the blade washer and locking nut using the blade lock keys (spanners) ensu­ ring that the blade lock nut is tight.

7. Re-fit the blade locating plate with the screw.

1. The safety guard is pre-assembled at the factory.

2. Simply remove the lock nut on the guard locating peg at the rear of the table, slide
the guard support seat (Pt.52) onto the locating peg, refit and retighten the lock nut.

1. Loosen the locking handle

2. Slide the Rip fence onto the table top from the left side of the machine ensuring that
the guides on the rip fence locate into the slide guide. (Fig.2)
The locking handle can be screwed in or out to increase or decrease the tension on
the locking lever.

This wheel adjusts the blade height by turning clockwise, it raises the blade giving a
deeper cutting depth, turning anti clockwise reduces cutting depth. (Fig.3)
Before using, fit the plastic peg to the front of the knob to give more accurate control.

1. Simply slide miter fence into the grooved guide way on the table top.

2. Connect to the power supply, switch the machine on for 2-3 seconds and then turn
off before it runs to maximum speed. (This will confirm that the blade is running free)
Once you have checked that the blade is secure and running free you are able to pr­ oceed to use the bench saw.
