ENGLISH
2. Set the blade at 0° bevel and move the fence in until it
touches theblade.
3. Lock the rail locklever.
4. Loosen the rip scale indicator screws
31
and set the rip
scale indicator to read zero(0). Retighten the rip scale
indicator screws. The yellow rip scale(top) reads correctly
only when the fence is mounted on the right side of
the blade and is in position 1(for zero to 62 cm ripping)
not the 82.5 cm rip position. The white scale(bottom)
reads correctly only when the fence is mounted on the
right side of the blade and in position 2(for 20.3 cm to
82.5cmripping).
The rip scale reads correctly only when the fence is mounted to
the right of theblade.
Rail Lock Adjustment(Fig.A,K)
The rail lock has been factory-set. If you need to re-adjust,
proceed as follows:
1. Lock the rail lock lever
5
.
2. On the underside of the saw, loosen the jam nut
33
.
3. Tighten the hex rod
34
until the spring on the locking
system is compressed creating the desired tension on the
rail lock lever. Retighten the jam nut against the hexrod.
4. Flip the saw over and check that the fence does not move
when the lock lever is engaged. If the fence is still loose,
tighten the springfurther.
Bevel Stop and Pointer Adjustment(Fig.L)
1. Raise the blade fully by rotating the blade height
adjustment wheel
6
clockwise until itstops.
2. Unlock the bevel lock lever
7
by pushing it up and to the
right. Loosen the bevel stop screw
36
.
3. Place a square flat against the table top and against the
blade between teeth. Ensure the bevel lock lever is in its
unlocked, or upposition.
4. Using the bevel lock lever, adjust the bevel angle until the
blade is flat against thesquare.
5. Tighten the bevel lock lever by pushing itdown.
6. Turn the bevel stop cam
35
until it firmly contacts the
bearing block. Tighten the bevel stop screw
36
.
7. Check the bevel angle scale. If the pointer does not read 0°,
loosen pointer screw
37
and move the pointer so it reads
correctly. Retighten the pointerscrew.
8. Repeat at 45°, but do not adjustpointer.
Mitre Gauge Adjustment(Fig.A)
To adjust mitre gauge
10
loosen knob, set to desired angle and
tightenknob.
Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the
table saw will make cutting easier, more accurate andsafer.

WARNING:
• Never place your hands near the cuttingarea.
• Place your hands no closer than 150mm from
theblade.
• Do not cross yourhands.
• Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain
properbalance.
Prior to Operation

WARNING:
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use
excessively worn blades.The maximum rotation speed
of the tool must not exceed that of the sawblade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively smallpieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do notforce.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicableregulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the “woodworking
machines regulations 1974” and any subsequentamendments.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic
conditions in terms of table height and stability. The machine
site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview
and enough free surrounding space around the machine that
allows handling of the workpiece without anyrestrictions.
To reduce effects of increased vibration, make sure the
environment is not too cold, the machine and accessory are well
maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for thismachine.
