6.Mounting The Rip Fence
Mount the rip fence so that the side with the
indicator is on the motor side. (See Fig15A) First
fully loosen the locking handle and mount the
front side so the fence contacts the front side of
the table and then the back side so that the fence
is level on the table. Be sure both locking plates
are in contact with the both the front and back
edges of the table. (See Fig15B)
OPERATION CONTROLS
1) On-Off safety switch
WARNING: Before turning on the switch make
sure the blade guard is correctly installed and
Operating properly.
To start the machine push the switch to the ON
position. (See Fig16) When turning the switch
ON stand on either side of the blade and never
in front of it.
Allow blade to reach full speed before cutting.
To stop the machine push the switch to the OFF
position.
2) Elevating and lowering handle
The elevating and lowering handle is used
to raise and lower the blade. Turn clockwise
to lower the blade and anticlockwise to
raise it. (See Fig18)
3) Tilting handle
The tilting handle is used to tilt the blade for bevel
cutting.Loosen the tilting handle lock knob , then
Turn the tilting handle clockwise to tilt toward
the left and anti-clockwise to tilt toward the right.
(See Fig19)
4) Lock knob
The handle locks the blade in the desired tilting
angle. To loosen turn it anti-clockwise.
When setting the angle of the cut fully loosen
it. Before turning the table saw ON, be sure it is
securely tightened so that the blade will not shift
during the table saw operation. (See Fig19)
5) Riving knife
This separates the saw kerf in a workpiece.
This prevents possible binding and kickback.
Fig 7
Fig 5
Fig 6
Fig 8
6) Rip fence
This fence is used for all ripping operations.
Never rip freehand without the fence in place and
securely locked.
7) Mitre gauge
The head is locked in the desired position for
crosscutting or mitring by tightening the lock
handle.
Always lock it securely when in use.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
a) When crosscutting, mitre cutting, bevel cutting,
compound mitre cutting and Rebating across the
end of a narrow workpiece use the mitre gauge.
b) Never make these cuts freehand (not using the
mitre gauge or other devices) because the blade
could bind causing a kickback or causing your
hand or fingers to contact the blade.
c) Always lock the mitre gauge when in use.
d) Never remove the rip fence from the table.
e) Make sure the blade safety guard is mounted
for all these sawing operations (the blade cuts
through the entire thickness of the wood).
Remount the guard immediately after finishing
dadoing, molding or Rebating cuts.
f) The blade should extend approximately 3mm
above the top of the workpiece.
1) Crosscutting
Crosscutting is cutting wood across the grain at
90
o
or square with both the edge and the flat side
of the wood. This is done with the mitre gauge set
at “0”. (See Fig20)
Before using it make sure it is locked. The mitre
gauge can be used on either of the grooves in the
table. (See Fig21)
2) Mitre crosscutting
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the wood at an angle
other than 90
o
. Follow the same procedures
as you would for crosscutting. Adjust the mitre
gauge to the desired angle. (See Fig22)
3) Bevel crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle other
than 90
o
.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle. Use the
mitre gauge in the groove to the right side of the
blade so the blade guard will not interfere. (See
Fig 12

4) Compound mitre cutting
Compound mitre cutting is a combination of mitre
cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at
an angle other than 90
o
to both the edge and the
flat side of the wood. Adjust the mitre gauge and
the blade to the desired angle and be sure that
the mitre gauge is locked. (See Fig24)
5) Repetitive cutting
Repetitive cutting is cutting a number of pieces
the same length without having to mark each
piece. Do not feed the workpiece with your right
hand, just guide it making sure that it does not
bind or pinch the saw blade. Use the rip fence
as a length stop ensuring that the rip fence is
positioned identically at the front and rear sides.
Also ensure that the workpiece is held firmly on
the mitre gauge and push the workpiece through
gently with the push stick. (See Fig25)
6) Using the rip fence
Ripping, bevel ripping, resawing and Rebating
are done using the rip fence.
7) Ripping
Ripping is cutting a piece of wood with the grain
in line. This is done using the rip fence. Position of
the fence to the desired width of the rip and lock it
in place. Before starting to rip be sure.
a) The rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
b) The riving knife is properly aligned with the
saw blade.
When ripping long boards or large panels always
use a work support. Hold the piece against the
fence and feed it through the blade with a smooth,
steady pressure with the push stick. When the
ripping width is wider than 150mm (6”) use your
right hand to feed the workpiece until it is clear
of the table. Use your left hand only to guide not
feed the workpiece. (See Fig26)
8) Bevel ripping
When bevel ripping material 150mm (6”) or
narrower use the fence on the right side of the
blade only. (See Fig26)

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Ensure the machine is discon nected
from the main supply BEFORE any maintenance
tasks or adjustments are carried out. Your Bench
Table Saw requires very little maintenance.
Carrying out those tasks specified below, will not
only ensure the maximum safety of operation,
but will also prolong the life of your machine.
AFTER EACH USE:
Sawdust must be removed from the
machine.
Remove the side cover by undoing the securing
screws, and use a vacuum cleaner to ensure all
dust is removed, before replacing the cover.
All plastic components can be wiped clean with
a soft dry cloth.
RIVING KNIFE:
The riving knife is an important component and
must always be in place and directly in line with
the saw blade. It prevents the work from chattering
as it passes through the blade.
If necessary, remove the table Insert, then slacken
the two securing screws and adjust accordingly.
Ensuring the clearance between the saw blade
and riving knife is between 2 and 5mm maximum.
Inspect at regular intervals to ensure the gap is
correctly maintained, and adjust as required.
It may also be necessary to remove the Riving
