WARNINGS (Original instructions) WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flamma- ble liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operat- ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk or electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

1) Guarding related warnings
a) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced. b) Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback pawls for every through–cutting operation. For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury. c) Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as rabbeting) which requires removal of the guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback pawls. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls help to reduce the risk of injury. d) Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition. e) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback. f) For the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife and anti-kickback pawls are ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevent- ed by the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls. g) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
2. Safety instructions for sawing procedures
a) DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury. b) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade. c) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback. d) When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm. Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade. e) Use only the push stick provided by the manufac- turer or constructed in accordance with the instructions. The push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade. f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade. g) Do not perform any operation"freehand". Always use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece. "Freehand" means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback. h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
i) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear
and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback. j) Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor. k) Do not remove piece of cut-off material while the saw is running. The material may become trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.
I) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table
top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.
3. Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object. Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence rail. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade. b) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade. c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback. d) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback. e) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback. f) Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. g) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top. h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked
vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback. j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the materi- al. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted. k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.
4. Table saw operating procedure warnings
a) Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls or saw blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid accidents. b) Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it off and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled hazard. c) Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be installed in an area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of the workpieces. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents. d) Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated saw dust is combustible and may self ignite. e) The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over. f) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous. g) Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
i) Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a
stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. j) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not recommended may cause serious injury. k) Only use 10" saw blade with kerf width of 2.8mm and blade body thickness is 1.8 mm match the riving knife with thickness of 2.3 mm. l) Always use only a saw blade diameter in accordance with the markings on the saw; Use only saw blades for which the maximum possible speed is not less than the maximum spindle speed of the product. m)Do not use any blunt, cracked, deformed or damaged saw blades. Only replace the saw blade with one complying with the European standard EN 847-1.

The teeth on the anti-kickback pawls point away from the workpiece. If the workpiece should be pulled back toward the operator, the teeth dig into the wood to help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback. Bevel Scale The easy-to-read scale on the front of the cabinet shows the exact blade angle. Blade knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
2. Safety instructions for sawing procedures
a) DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury. b) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade. c) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback. d) When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm. Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade. e) Use only the push stick provided by the manufac- turer or constructed in accordance with the instructions. The push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade. f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade. g) Do not perform any operation"freehand". Always use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece. "Freehand" means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback. h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
i) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear
and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback. j) Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor. k) Do not remove piece of cut-off material while the saw is running. The material may become trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.
I) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table
top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.
3. Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object. Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence rail. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade. b) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade. c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback. d) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback. e) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback. f) Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. g) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top. h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked
vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback. j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the materi- al. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted. k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.
4. Table saw operating procedure warnings
a) Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls or saw blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid accidents. b) Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it off and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled hazard. c) Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be installed in an area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of the workpieces. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents. d) Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated saw dust is combustible and may self ignite. e) The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over. f) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous. g) Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
i) Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a
stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. j) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not recommended may cause serious injury. k) Only use 10" saw blade with kerf width of 2.8mm and blade body thickness is 1.8 mm match the riving knife with thickness of 2.3 mm. l) Always use only a saw blade diameter in accordance with the markings on the saw; Use only saw blades for which the maximum possible speed is not less than the maximum spindle speed of the product. m)Do not use any blunt, cracked, deformed or damaged saw blades. Only replace the saw blade with one complying with the European standard EN 847-1.

WARNING Before using the saw, verify the following each and every time:
- ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory equipment.
- Blade is securely tightened.
- Bevel angle and fence rails lock lever is locked.
- If ripping, ensure that rip fence lock lever is locked and that the fence is parallel to the blade.
- If crosscutting, mitre gauge lock knob is securely tightened.
- The blade guard assembly is properly attached and the anti-kickback pawls assembly is functioning. WARNING To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, if the distance between the rip fence and saw blade is less than 150 mm, the push stick must be used. WARNING Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the working table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade. WARNING In the event of a power failure or when the tool is not in use, turn the switch OFF. This action will prevent the tool from accidentally starting when power returns. WARNING ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade before operating the switch to start the saw. Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece. WARNING To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging saw into the power source. WARNING DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. WARNING The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear eye protection before commencing power tool operation. WARNING Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed except for non-through cuts, failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
You can use this tool for the purposes listed below: ◌ Straight-line cutting operations, such as cross cut, rip cut, mitre cut, and compound cut. ◌ Cabinet making and woodworking. NOTE This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood compo- sition products only. Never cut metals, cement board, or masonry. 2 Operating components ◌ The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and is surrounded by an insert called the table insert. The height of the blade is set with a height adjusting handle on the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Detailed instructions are provided in this manual for the basic cut: cross cuts, mitre cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts. ◌ The rip fence is used to position workpiece for lengthwise cuts and used for outfeed support for large workpiece cuts. ◌ It’s very important to use the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls and blade guard assembly for all through cut sawing operations.
3. Causes of kickback
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and come into contact with the blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using precautions to avoid the risks. Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such as the following: ◌ Making a cut with incorrect blade depth. ◌ Sawing into knots or nails in the work piece. ◌ Twisting the wood while making a cut. ◌ Failing to support the workpiece. ◌ Forcing a cut. ◌ Cutting warped or wet lumber. ◌ Using the wrong blade for the type of cut. ◌ Not following correct operating procedures. ◌ Misusing the saw. ◌ Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls. ◌ Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.
4. Precautions of kickback
NOTE Kickback can be avoided by taking following proper precautions:
- Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
- Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
- Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
- Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
- Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
- Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
- Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
- Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
- When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
- Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

CAUTION A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel. CAUTION If bevel indicator is not at zero when saw blade is at 0°, see the section “Adjusting bevel indicator” (Page 50). ◌ Loosen the bevel lock lever (23) counter-clockwise. ◌ Adjust bevel angle by first pushing height/bevel adjusting handwheel (21) all the way to the left. ◌ Holding height/bevel adjusting handwheel, slide bevel indicator to the right to increase angle of blade (30) (bringing it closer to 45° from the tabletop). Holding height/bevel adjusting handwheel, slide bevel indicator to the left to decreases the angle (bringing blade closer to 90° from the table top). ◌ Make sure blade (30) is at desired angle. Tighten bevel lock lever (23) clockwise. WARNING Make sure the blade guard is in place after adjusting blade angle. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
9. Rip fence (Fig. 20a-20c)
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation. Fence rails lock lever (Fig. 20a) The fence rails lock lever locks the rip fence in place preventing movement during cutting. ◌ To lock the fence rails lock lever (37), push it up and toward the front of the saw. ◌ To unlock the fence rails lock lever (37), push it down and toward the rear of the saw. CAUTION When ripping, always lock the fence rails lock lever. Narrow fence (Fig. 20b) ◌ When using the narrow fence (2) to support a workpiece that extends beyond the working table, rotate the narrow fence (2) as shown in (Fig. 20b) and secure it inthe lowest position A for both the front and back slots. ◌ When using the narrow fence (2) to cut a narrow workpiece, rotate the narrow fence (2) as shown in (Fig. 20b) and secure it in the upper position B for both the front and back slots. CAUTION Always use the auxiliary fence (not the narrow fence) when ripping material 3 mm or thinner to prevent stock from slipping under the fence. NOTE If the narrow fence is not required, always place it in the position C as shown (Fig. 20b). NOTE The narrow fence (2) for cutting a narrow workpiece can provide more space for a push stick without removing the blade guard. Adjusting knob (Fig. 20c) The adjusting knob allows smaller adjustments when setting the rip fence. ◌ Unlock the fence rails lock lever (37). ◌ Slide the rip fence (18) close to the desired position. ◌ Slowly turn the adjusting knob (4) to set the rip fence (18) to desired position. Turn the adjusting knob (4) clockwise will extend the fence rails to right. Turn the adjusting knob (4) counter-clockwise will extend the fence rails to left. ◌ Lock the fence rails lock lever (37).
10. Mitre gauge (Fig. 21)
The mitre gauge (28) provides accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cut are recommended. There are two mitre gauge grooves, one on either side of blade. When making a 90° cross cut, use either mitre gauge groove. When making a beveled cross cut (blade tilted in relation to working table, mitre gauge should be located in groove on right so that blade is tilted away from mitre gauge and hands. Using mitre gauge ◌ Loosen mitre gauge lock knob (44) turning it counter- clockwise. ◌ With mitre gauge in mitre gauge groove, rotate gauge until desired angle on scale is reached. ◌ Retighten mitre gauge lock knob (44) turning it clockwise.
11. Outfeed support (Fig. 22)
The outfeed support slides to give operator additional support for cutting long workpieces. ◌ Unplug the saw. ◌ Loosen the lock knobs (80) under the working table counter-clockwise. ◌ Stand behind saw. Grasp outfeed support (15) with both hands and pull until it is fully extended. ◌ Tighten the lock knobs (80) clockwise.
12. Push stick (Fig. 23)
Push stick (38) is a device used for safely pushing a work piece through the blade instead of using your hands. A push stick is included with your saw, but it can be made from scrap wood in various sizes and shapes to be used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the work piece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end. Push stick should be used in place of the user’s hand to guide the material between the fence and blade. When using a push stick, the trailing end of the board must be square. A push stick against an uneven end could slip off or push the work piece away from the fence, which may cause kickback resulting in serious personal injury. The push stick can be stored in the push stick storage (36). WARNING Always use the push stick with the narrow fence (2) whenever the fence is 150 mm or less from the blade. WARNING When the push stick is not in use, always it must be stored in the push stick storage.
WARNING Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury. WARNING Use extra caution when cutting wood products having slippery surface as the anti-kickback pawls may not always be effective. WARNING DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury. WARNING To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is securely against the rip fence during any rip cut, and hold the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge during any mitre cut. WARNING DO NOT attempt compound mitre cuts, with blade beveled and mitre fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback. WARNING DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here. WARNING Using rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting will result in kickback which can cause serious personal injury. WARNING NEVER make freehand cuts (cuts without mitre gauge or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury. WARNING Never make through cuts without the blade guard in place. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
◌ The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding. Make allowance for the kerf when measuring wood. ◌ Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the measuring line. ◌ Cut the wood with the finish side up. ◌ Knock out loose knots before making cut. ◌ Always provide proper support for wood as it comes out of saw.
◌ Stand slightly to the side of blade path to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur. ◌ Use mitre gauge when making cross, mitre, bevel and compound mitre cuts. To secure angle, lock mitre gauge in place by twisting lock knob clockwise. ALWAYS tighten lock knob securely in place before use. WARNING Never use the fence and mitre gauge together. This may cause a kickback condition and injury to the operator.
16. Types of cuts (Fig. 24)

NOTE This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood compo- sition products only. Never cut metals, cement board, or masonry. 2 Operating components ◌ The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and is surrounded by an insert called the table insert. The height of the blade is set with a height adjusting handle on the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Detailed instructions are provided in this manual for the basic cut: cross cuts, mitre cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts. ◌ The rip fence is used to position workpiece for lengthwise cuts and used for outfeed support for large workpiece cuts. ◌ It’s very important to use the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls and blade guard assembly for all through cut sawing operations.
3. Causes of kickback
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and come into contact with the blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using precautions to avoid the risks. Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such as the following: ◌ Making a cut with incorrect blade depth. ◌ Sawing into knots or nails in the work piece. ◌ Twisting the wood while making a cut. ◌ Failing to support the workpiece. ◌ Forcing a cut. ◌ Cutting warped or wet lumber. ◌ Using the wrong blade for the type of cut. ◌ Not following correct operating procedures. ◌ Misusing the saw. ◌ Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls. ◌ Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.
4. Precautions of kickback
NOTE Kickback can be avoided by taking following proper precautions:
- Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
- Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
- Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
- Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
- Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
- Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
- Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
- Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
- When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
- Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

Grasp outfeed support (15) with both hands and pull until it is fully extended. ◌ Tighten the lock knobs (80) clockwise.
12. Push stick (Fig. 23)
Push stick (38) is a device used for safely pushing a work piece through the blade instead of using your hands. A push stick is included with your saw, but it can be made from scrap wood in various sizes and shapes to be used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the work piece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end. Push stick should be used in place of the user’s hand to guide the material between the fence and blade. When using a push stick, the trailing end of the board must be square. A push stick against an uneven end could slip off or push the work piece away from the fence, which may cause kickback resulting in serious personal injury. The push stick can be stored in the push stick storage (36). WARNING Always use the push stick with the narrow fence (2) whenever the fence is 150 mm or less from the blade. WARNING When the push stick is not in use, always it must be stored in the push stick storage.
WARNING Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury. WARNING Use extra caution when cutting wood products having slippery surface as the anti-kickback pawls may not always be effective. WARNING DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury. WARNING To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is securely against the rip fence during any rip cut, and hold the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge during any mitre cut. WARNING DO NOT attempt compound mitre cuts, with blade beveled and mitre fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback. WARNING DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here. WARNING Using rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting will result in kickback which can cause serious personal injury. WARNING NEVER make freehand cuts (cuts without mitre gauge or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury. WARNING Never make through cuts without the blade guard in place. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
◌ The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding. Make allowance for the kerf when measuring wood. ◌ Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the measuring line. ◌ Cut the wood with the finish side up. ◌ Knock out loose knots before making cut. ◌ Always provide proper support for wood as it comes out of saw.
◌ Stand slightly to the side of blade path to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur. ◌ Use mitre gauge when making cross, mitre, bevel and compound mitre cuts. To secure angle, lock mitre gauge in place by twisting lock knob clockwise. ALWAYS tighten lock knob securely in place before use. WARNING Never use the fence and mitre gauge together. This may cause a kickback condition and injury to the operator.

- If ripping, ensure that rip fence lock lever is locked and that the fence is parallel to the blade.
- If crosscutting, mitre gauge lock knob is securely tightened.
- The blade guard assembly is properly attached and the anti-kickback pawls assembly is functioning. WARNING To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, if the distance between the rip fence and saw blade is less than 150 mm, the push stick must be used. WARNING Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the working table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade. WARNING In the event of a power failure or when the tool is not in use, turn the switch OFF. This action will prevent the tool from accidentally starting when power returns. WARNING ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade before operating the switch to start the saw. Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece. WARNING To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging saw into the power source. WARNING DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. WARNING The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear eye protection before commencing power tool operation. WARNING Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed except for non-through cuts, failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
You can use this tool for the purposes listed below: ◌ Straight-line cutting operations, such as cross cut, rip cut, mitre cut, and compound cut. ◌ Cabinet making and woodworking. NOTE This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood compo- sition products only. Never cut metals, cement board, or masonry. 2 Operating components ◌ The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and is surrounded by an insert called the table insert. The height of the blade is set with a height adjusting handle on the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Detailed instructions are provided in this manual for the basic cut: cross cuts, mitre cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts. ◌ The rip fence is used to position workpiece for lengthwise cuts and used for outfeed support for large workpiece cuts. ◌ It’s very important to use the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls and blade guard assembly for all through cut sawing operations.
3. Causes of kickback
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and come into contact with the blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using precautions to avoid the risks. Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such as the following: ◌ Making a cut with incorrect blade depth. ◌ Sawing into knots or nails in the work piece. ◌ Twisting the wood while making a cut. ◌ Failing to support the workpiece. ◌ Forcing a cut. ◌ Cutting warped or wet lumber. ◌ Using the wrong blade for the type of cut. ◌ Not following correct operating procedures. ◌ Misusing the saw. ◌ Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls. ◌ Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.
4. Precautions of kickback
NOTE Kickback can be avoided by taking following proper precautions:
- Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
- Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
- Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
- Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
- Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
- Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
- Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
- Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
- When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
- Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
8. Changing blade angle (bevel) (Fig. 19)
CAUTION A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel. CAUTION If bevel indicator is not at zero when saw blade is at 0°, see the section “Adjusting bevel indicator” (Page 50). ◌ Loosen the bevel lock lever (23) counter-clockwise. ◌ Adjust bevel angle by first pushing height/bevel adjusting handwheel (21) all the way to the left. ◌ Holding height/bevel adjusting handwheel, slide bevel indicator to the right to increase angle of blade (30) (bringing it closer to 45° from the tabletop). Holding height/bevel adjusting handwheel, slide bevel indicator to the left to decreases the angle (bringing blade closer to 90° from the table top). ◌ Make sure blade (30) is at desired angle. Tighten bevel lock lever (23) clockwise. WARNING Make sure the blade guard is in place after adjusting blade angle. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
9. Rip fence (Fig. 20a-20c)
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation. Fence rails lock lever (Fig. 20a) The fence rails lock lever locks the rip fence in place preventing movement during cutting. ◌ To lock the fence rails lock lever (37), push it up and toward the front of the saw. ◌ To unlock the fence rails lock lever (37), push it down and toward the rear of the saw. CAUTION When ripping, always lock the fence rails lock lever. Narrow fence (Fig. 20b) ◌ When using the narrow fence (2) to support a workpiece that extends beyond the working table, rotate the narrow fence (2) as shown in (Fig. 20b) and secure it inthe lowest position A for both the front and back slots. ◌ When using the narrow fence (2) to cut a narrow workpiece, rotate the narrow fence (2) as shown in (Fig. 20b) and secure it in the upper position B for both the front and back slots. CAUTION Always use the auxiliary fence (not the narrow fence) when ripping material 3 mm or thinner to prevent stock from slipping under the fence. NOTE If the narrow fence is not required, always place it in the position C as shown (Fig. 20b). NOTE The narrow fence (2) for cutting a narrow workpiece can provide more space for a push stick without removing the blade guard. Adjusting knob (Fig. 20c) The adjusting knob allows smaller adjustments when setting the rip fence. ◌ Unlock the fence rails lock lever (37). ◌ Slide the rip fence (18) close to the desired position. ◌ Slowly turn the adjusting knob (4) to set the rip fence (18) to desired position. Turn the adjusting knob (4) clockwise will extend the fence rails to right. Turn the adjusting knob (4) counter-clockwise will extend the fence rails to left. ◌ Lock the fence rails lock lever (37).
10. Mitre gauge (Fig. 21)
The mitre gauge (28) provides accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cut are recommended. There are two mitre gauge grooves, one on either side of blade. When making a 90° cross cut, use either mitre gauge groove. When making a beveled cross cut (blade tilted in relation to working table, mitre gauge should be located in groove on right so that blade is tilted away from mitre gauge and hands. Using mitre gauge ◌ Loosen mitre gauge lock knob (44) turning it counter- clockwise. ◌ With mitre gauge in mitre gauge groove, rotate gauge until desired angle on scale is reached. ◌ Retighten mitre gauge lock knob (44) turning it clockwise.
11. Outfeed support (Fig. 22)

Grasp outfeed support (15) with both hands and pull until it is fully extended. ◌ Tighten the lock knobs (80) clockwise.
12. Push stick (Fig. 23)
Push stick (38) is a device used for safely pushing a work piece through the blade instead of using your hands. A push stick is included with your saw, but it can be made from scrap wood in various sizes and shapes to be used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the work piece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end. Push stick should be used in place of the user’s hand to guide the material between the fence and blade. When using a push stick, the trailing end of the board must be square. A push stick against an uneven end could slip off or push the work piece away from the fence, which may cause kickback resulting in serious personal injury. The push stick can be stored in the push stick storage (36). WARNING Always use the push stick with the narrow fence (2) whenever the fence is 150 mm or less from the blade. WARNING When the push stick is not in use, always it must be stored in the push stick storage.

WARNING To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. WARNING Before using the saw, verify the following each and every time:
- ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory equipment.
- Blade is securely tightened.
- Bevel angle and fence rails lock lever is locked.
- If ripping, ensure that rip fence lock lever is locked and that the fence is parallel to the blade.
- If crosscutting, mitre gauge lock knob is securely tightened.
- The blade guard assembly is properly attached and the anti-kickback pawls assembly is functioning. WARNING To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, if the distance between the rip fence and saw blade is less than 150 mm, the push stick must be used. WARNING Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the working table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade. WARNING In the event of a power failure or when the tool is not in use, turn the switch OFF. This action will prevent the tool from accidentally starting when power returns. WARNING ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade before operating the switch to start the saw. Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece. WARNING To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging saw into the power source. WARNING DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. WARNING The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear eye protection before commencing power tool operation. WARNING Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed except for non-through cuts, failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
You can use this tool for the purposes listed below: ◌ Straight-line cutting operations, such as cross cut, rip cut, mitre cut, and compound cut. ◌ Cabinet making and woodworking. NOTE This table saw is designed to cut wood and wood compo- sition products only. Never cut metals, cement board, or masonry. 2 Operating components ◌ The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table and is surrounded by an insert called the table insert. The height of the blade is set with a height adjusting handle on the height/bevel adjusting handwheel. Detailed instructions are provided in this manual for the basic cut: cross cuts, mitre cuts, bevel cuts, and compound cuts. ◌ The rip fence is used to position workpiece for lengthwise cuts and used for outfeed support for large workpiece cuts. ◌ It’s very important to use the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls and blade guard assembly for all through cut sawing operations.
3. Causes of kickback
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and come into contact with the blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using precautions to avoid the risks. Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood, such as the following: ◌ Making a cut with incorrect blade depth. ◌ Sawing into knots or nails in the work piece. ◌ Twisting the wood while making a cut. ◌ Failing to support the workpiece. ◌ Forcing a cut. ◌ Cutting warped or wet lumber. ◌ Using the wrong blade for the type of cut. ◌ Not following correct operating procedures. ◌ Misusing the saw. ◌ Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls. ◌ Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.
4. Precautions of kickback
NOTE Kickback can be avoided by taking following proper precautions:
- Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
- Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
- Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
- Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
- Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
- Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
- Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
- Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
- When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
- Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
8. Changing blade angle (bevel) (Fig. 19)
CAUTION A 90° cut has a 0° bevel and a 45° cut has a 45° bevel. CAUTION If bevel indicator is not at zero when saw blade is at 0°, see the section “Adjusting bevel indicator” (Page 50). ◌ Loosen the bevel lock lever (23) counter-clockwise. ◌ Adjust bevel angle by first pushing height/bevel adjusting handwheel (21) all the way to the left. ◌ Holding height/bevel adjusting handwheel, slide bevel indicator to the right to increase angle of blade (30) (bringing it closer to 45° from the tabletop). Holding height/bevel adjusting handwheel, slide bevel indicator to the left to decreases the angle (bringing blade closer to 90° from the table top). ◌ Make sure blade (30) is at desired angle. Tighten bevel lock lever (23) clockwise. WARNING Make sure the blade guard is in place after adjusting blade angle. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
9. Rip fence (Fig. 20a-20c)
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation. Fence rails lock lever (Fig. 20a) The fence rails lock lever locks the rip fence in place preventing movement during cutting. ◌ To lock the fence rails lock lever (37), push it up and toward the front of the saw. ◌ To unlock the fence rails lock lever (37), push it down and toward the rear of the saw. CAUTION When ripping, always lock the fence rails lock lever. Narrow fence (Fig. 20b) ◌ When using the narrow fence (2) to support a workpiece that extends beyond the working table, rotate the narrow fence (2) as shown in (Fig. 20b) and secure it inthe lowest position A for both the front and back slots. ◌ When using the narrow fence (2) to cut a narrow workpiece, rotate the narrow fence (2) as shown in (Fig. 20b) and secure it in the upper position B for both the front and back slots. CAUTION Always use the auxiliary fence (not the narrow fence) when ripping material 3 mm or thinner to prevent stock from slipping under the fence. NOTE If the narrow fence is not required, always place it in the position C as shown (Fig. 20b). NOTE The narrow fence (2) for cutting a narrow workpiece can provide more space for a push stick without removing the blade guard. Adjusting knob (Fig. 20c) The adjusting knob allows smaller adjustments when setting the rip fence. ◌ Unlock the fence rails lock lever (37). ◌ Slide the rip fence (18) close to the desired position. ◌ Slowly turn the adjusting knob (4) to set the rip fence (18) to desired position. Turn the adjusting knob (4) clockwise will extend the fence rails to right. Turn the adjusting knob (4) counter-clockwise will extend the fence rails to left. ◌ Lock the fence rails lock lever (37).
10. Mitre gauge (Fig. 21)
The mitre gauge (28) provides accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cut are recommended. There are two mitre gauge grooves, one on either side of blade. When making a 90° cross cut, use either mitre gauge groove. When making a beveled cross cut (blade tilted in relation to working table, mitre gauge should be located in groove on right so that blade is tilted away from mitre gauge and hands. Using mitre gauge ◌ Loosen mitre gauge lock knob (44) turning it counter- clockwise. ◌ With mitre gauge in mitre gauge groove, rotate gauge until desired angle on scale is reached. ◌ Retighten mitre gauge lock knob (44) turning it clockwise.
11. Outfeed support (Fig. 22)
The outfeed support slides to give operator additional support for cutting long workpieces. ◌ Unplug the saw. ◌ Loosen the lock knobs (80) under the working table counter-clockwise. ◌ Stand behind saw. Grasp outfeed support (15) with both hands and pull until it is fully extended. ◌ Tighten the lock knobs (80) clockwise.
12. Push stick (Fig. 23)
Push stick (38) is a device used for safely pushing a work piece through the blade instead of using your hands. A push stick is included with your saw, but it can be made from scrap wood in various sizes and shapes to be used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the work piece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end. Push stick should be used in place of the user’s hand to guide the material between the fence and blade. When using a push stick, the trailing end of the board must be square. A push stick against an uneven end could slip off or push the work piece away from the fence, which may cause kickback resulting in serious personal injury. The push stick can be stored in the push stick storage (36). WARNING Always use the push stick with the narrow fence (2) whenever the fence is 150 mm or less from the blade. WARNING When the push stick is not in use, always it must be stored in the push stick storage.
WARNING Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury. WARNING Use extra caution when cutting wood products having slippery surface as the anti-kickback pawls may not always be effective. WARNING DO NOT use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury. WARNING To avoid kickback, make sure one side of the workpiece is securely against the rip fence during any rip cut, and hold the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge during any mitre cut. WARNING DO NOT attempt compound mitre cuts, with blade beveled and mitre fence angled, until you are thoroughly familiar with the basic cuts and understand how to avoid kickback. WARNING DO NOT attempt to make any cuts not covered here. WARNING Using rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting will result in kickback which can cause serious personal injury. WARNING NEVER make freehand cuts (cuts without mitre gauge or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury. WARNING Never make through cuts without the blade guard in place. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
◌ The kerf (the cut made by the blade in the wood) will be wider than the blade to avoid overheating or binding. Make allowance for the kerf when measuring wood. ◌ Make sure the kerf is made on the waste side of the measuring line. ◌ Cut the wood with the finish side up. ◌ Knock out loose knots before making cut. ◌ Always provide proper support for wood as it comes out of saw.
◌ Stand slightly to the side of blade path to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur. ◌ Use mitre gauge when making cross, mitre, bevel and compound mitre cuts. To secure angle, lock mitre gauge in place by twisting lock knob clockwise. ALWAYS tighten lock knob securely in place before use. WARNING Never use the fence and mitre gauge together. This may cause a kickback condition and injury to the operator.
16. Types of cuts (Fig. 24)

2. Bevel adjustment (Fig. 34a-34b)
This saw has positive stops that will quickly position the saw blade at 90° (0°) or 45° to the table. Angle settings of saw have been set at the factory and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require setting during assembly. After extensive use, they may need to be checked. To check 90° (0°) bevel ◌ Unplug the saw. ◌ Raise the blade to the maximum height by turning the height adjusting knob clockwise. ◌ Remove the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard. ◌ Using a framing square (91), set the blade (30) to exactly 90°. ◌ If the blade stops bevelling before it gets to 90°, loosen the 90° stop set screw (92) (located at the left of the bevel track on the front), and then adjust it to 90°. ◌ With the blade set at 90°, slowly turn the 90° stop set screw (92) until you feel resistance. Bevel the blade away from 90° a little, and then back to the stop. ◌ Re-measure the angle and repeat the stop adjustment as necessary until the blade stops at 90°. To check 45° bevel ◌ Unplug the saw. ◌ Raise the blade to the maximum height by turning the height adjusting knob clockwise. ◌ Remove the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard. ◌ Using a triangle square (93), set the blade (30) to exactly 45°. ◌ If the blade stops bevelling before it gets to 45°, loosen the 45° stop set screw (93) (located at the right of the bevel track on the front), and then adjust it to 45°. ◌ With the blade set at 45°, slowly turn the 45° stop set screw (93) until you feel resistance. Bevel the blade away from 45° a little, and then back to the stop. ◌ Re-measure the angle and repeat the stop adjustment as necessary until the blade stops at 45°. CAUTION For easy of use, bevel adjust should stop at 45° and 90°. WARNING Make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are reinstalled immediately after making any adjustment which requires it to be removed. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
3. Adjusting rip fence scale indicator (Fig. 35)
◌ Remove the anti-kickback pawls and blade guard. ◌ Unlock the fence rails lock lever (37). ◌ Mount the rip fence in position A. Adjust the blade to bevel 0° and then allow the left side of the rip fence (18) to touch the blade. ◌ Lock the lock lever (37) of the fence rails. ◌ Loosen the screws (95, 96) of the rip fence scale indicator (43) and set the red pointer (97) on the rip fence scale indicator (43) to be aligned with the zero point. ◌ Retighten the screws (95, 96) of the rip fence scale indicator (43). NOTE When the rip fence (18) is mounted on the right side of the blade, there are two positions. In position A, please read the top rip scale; It will be from 0 to 680 mm. In position B, please read the bottom scale; It will be from 200 mm to 880 mm.
4. Adjusting bevel indicator (FIG. 36)
Adjust the red line on the bevel indicator if it is not aligned with zero when the blade is perpendicular to the table. ◌ With blade perpendicular to table, loosen screw (98). ◌ Set the bevel indicator (8) to align with 0° on bevel scale (7). ◌ Retighten screw (98). plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
