Place the table saw with the table touching the floor on a flat floor. Fix the four legs 18 in the inside of the main body with four screws (SW13) for every leg (Fig. 3). When you insert the legs you have to look that they are exactly in the related curbs. Mount the four rubber feet 25 on the legs (Fig. 8). Fix the wheels 15 on the legs at the inside with two screws for every leg. The four spacers 26 must be inserted between the legs and the angle bracket 22 (Fig. 4). When assembling, make sure that the rounded side of the angle bracket faces the bottom of the machine. Turn the saw upside down and place it on the floor. Now insert the sliding table 3 carefully into the slide ways 24 and push the sliding table to the point where the locking hook latches 10 (Fig. 5) home. Now screw the mount for the extractor hose 29 and the tool hook 28 on the main body of the machine 1 (Fig. 6, 7).

14.1.2 Fitting and removing oft he saw blade guard (Fig. 9)

Mount the blade guard 2 on the splitter 5, so that the screw 37 fits through the hole 45. Don’t tighten the screw too tight - the saw blade guard has to be able to be moved freely. Fit the extractor hole 13 on the extractor adapter 14 and the extractor socket of the blade guard 2. Important: The blade guard has to be lowered over the work piece before cutting.

14.1.3 Dismantling the sliding table and opening the chip box (Fig. 12, 13)

Pull the sliding table 3 back till you can see the locking hook 10. Press down on the locking hook 10 with one hand and at the same time use the other hand to pull the sliding table forward and out of the guide 24 (Fig. 12). Now remove the two screws b (Fig. 13) and flip open the chip box. Tip: The screws are removed easier if there will be adjusted an angle of about 45°. For the fitting you have to do these steps backwards.

14.1.4 Mounting the table extension

Mount the table extension like shown on the below pictures.OPERATION ZIPPER MASCHINEN GmbH www.Zipper-Maschinen.at 37 ZI-FKS315 15 OPERATION Device to be operated in a perfect state only. Inspect the device visually every time it is to be used. Check in particular the safety equipment, electrical controls, electric cables and screwed connection for damage and if tightened properly. Replace any damaged parts before operating the device.

15.1 Operation instructions

Perform all machine settings with the machine being disconnected from the power supply!

NOT ICE Operating only with started dust collector! Never start the machine when the workpiece is pressed to the saw blade! Before starting the machine check if the saw blade is tightened Always adapt cutting speed to the respective working Use the push stick to avoid the risk of contact with the saw blade Slide the workpiece evenly, without relapses and without retake it until the end of cutting.

15.2 Adjustments for starting up

15.2.1 Setting the splitter (Fig. 14, 15)

Set the blade 4 to its maximum cutting depth, move it to its 0° position and lock it (see 2.6.2 and

2.6.3) Remove the saw blade guard (see 2.5.3). Remove the sliding table and open the chip box

(See 2.5.3). Loosen the screw 38 with the included tool 40 (Fig. 40). Pull up the splitter till the distance between the saw table 1 and the top point of the splitter is at its maximum. The maximum distance between the splitter and the saw blade is 8mm (Fig. 15). Now fit the nut again and mount all the parts, being removed.

15.2.2 Adjustment of the cutting depth (Fig. 17)

Turn the hand crank 8 to set the required depth. Turning clock wise: smaller cutting depth. Turning anti-clock wise: bigger cutting depth.

15.2.3 Setting the blade angle (Fig. 17)

Loosen the lock screw 9. Turn the hand crank 9 to set the required angle on the scale b. Then tighten the screw again.

Stop height (Fig. 19, 20) The fence has two different guiding areas. Fort hick materials it must be used like shown in Fig. 22 and for thin ones like shown in Fig. 23 Cutting width (Fig. 19, 20)OPERATION ZIPPER MASCHINEN GmbH www.Zipper-Maschinen.at 38 ZI-FKS315 The fence 7 must be used for longitudinal cuts in wooden work pieces. It should be mounted on the right side of the blade 4. It must be pushed into the guide 17 outside. Adjust the required distance and lock the fence with the lock screw. Setting the stop length The stop rail can be moved on the work piece to prevent the work piece from becoming jammed. Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop comes up against an imaginary line that begins roughly at the center of the saw blade and runs at an angle of 45° to the rear. At first set the cutting width. Then loosen the nuts 21 and pull the stop rail forwards till it reaches the imaginary line. Tighten the nuts again.

15.2.5 Cross stop and sliding table (Fig. 27)

Push the cross stop 7 into the groove a of the sliding table. Loosen the lock screw 12 and turn it till the arrow points at the required angle. Important: Don’t pull the stop rail too far to the saw blade. The distance between the rail and the saw blade 4 should be about 2cm. Tighten the lock screw again.

For turning on the machine the cover must be opened and the green button must be pushed. This one is on the switch panel 11. Let the engine get to its maximum speed before cutting. Important: The cover must be flapped down again because it’s used as emergency stop switch. For turning off you have to push the red button.

15.3.2 Longitudinal cuts (Fig.22)

For longitudinal cuts the sliding table must be fixed with the lock 19 (Fig. 18). Press one edge of the work piece against the longitudinal fence while the flat side lies on the saw blade. The blade guard always has to lie on the work piece. Adjust the fence. Turn on the machine. Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the work piece and pull it along the fence into the blade. Lead on the side with your hands always only to the position of the front edge of the blade guard. Always push the work piece through to the end of the splitter. The offcut piece remains on the saw table 1 until the blade is back in its position of rest. Cutting narrow work pieces: Always use a push block 3 when the cutting width is lower than 120mm. Important: Always replace a damaged push block through a new one. Cutting extremely narrow work pieces (Fig. 23): Use a push block when the cutting width is lower than 30mm. Use the longitudinal fence like shown in Fig. 23. Making concealed nuts Remove the saw blade guard (see 2.5.2). Adjust the cutting depth and the splitter new. Pull the work piece into the blade. After cutting the blade guard must be fitted again. Making bevel cuts (Fig. 25): Adjust the required angle. The cut follows like a normal cut.

15.3.3 Working with the sliding table

Cross cuts (Fig. 26, 27):Pull the sliding table forward. Set the cross stop to the required angle and fix it with the lock screw on the sliding table. Press the work piece against the cross stop and move the sliding table slowly forwards. Turn off the machine and remove the offcut when the saw blade is in its position of rest. Making edging cuts:Place the work piece on the sliding table and press it against the edging plate c.
