Mounting the outfeed table (fig. F7 - F9)
Required hardware parts: 2 L-shaped brackets (25), 2 hex head bolts (28),
2 flat washers (33), 2 lock washers (35), 2 nuts (31), 2 coach bolts (27),
2 wing nuts (32) (fig. F7).
• Place the outfeed table (17) on the floor with the flat side down (fig. F8).
Use a piece of cardboard to avoid damaging the table surface.
• Mount the L-shaped brackets (25) as shown, using 2 hex head bolts (28),
lock washers (35), flat washers (33) and nuts (31). Do not fully tighten.
• Depress the locking pins (46) and unfold the leg (47).
• Place the table on the back of the saw so that the brackets mounted to
the table rest on the brackets mounted to the saw (fig. F9).
• Use 2 coach bolts (27) and wing nuts (32) as shown to connect the
brackets. Securely tighten the wing nuts.
Adjusting the outfeed table (fig. F8 & F10)
The outfeed table should be level with (or slightly below) the table top.
• To check, place the fence face (5) over the table top and outfeed table
(fig. F10).
• If necessary, raise or lower the outfeed table until the connecting end is
level with the table top.
• If the other end of the outfeed table is not level, adjust by turning the
feet (48) (fig. F8).
• Securely tighten the bolts and nuts.
Mounting the support tables (fig. G1 - G6)
Required hardware parts: 2 Torx bolts (26), 10 hex head bolts (28), 10 flat
washers (33), 10 lock washers (35), 4 nuts (31), 2 flat brackets (23) (fig. G1).
• Install 3 hex head bolts (28), lock washers (35) and flat washers (33)
in the holes (49) in the side of the saw as shown (fig. G2).
• Leave a 5 mm gap between the table top and the bolt heads.
• Place the support table (51) on the bolts as shown. Do not fully tighten
the bolts.
• Tighten the nut (30) holding the bracket to the rail (fig. G3).
• Align the hole in the outer front rail bracket (24) with the slot in the
support table.
• Mount the front rail bracket to the support table using a Torx bolt (26),
lock washer (35), flat washer (33) and nut (31).
• Connect the support table to the rear rail using a flat bracket (23),
2 hex head bolts (29), 2 flat washers (33), 2 lock washers (35)
and 2 nuts (31) (fig. G4 & G5).
• Use the fence face to check if the edge of the support table is level
with or slightly below the table top (fig. G6). Adjust as necessary and
tighten the bolts (28) (fig. G2).
• Use the fence face or a spirit level to check if the support table is level.
Adjust as necessary and securely tighten all bolts and nuts.
• Repeat the procedure for the other support table.
Assembling the rip fence (fig. H1)
• Remove the 3 screws (52) and take the cover plate (53) from the fence
head (54).
• Mount the fence beam (55) to the fence head (54) as shown.
• Remount the cover plate (53) and the screws (52). Do not tighten.
• Slide the fence face (5) onto the fence rail (58) as shown.
Aligning the rip fence (fig. H2)
• Place the rip fence (4) on the front rail (11) and rear rail (12) close to the
mitre slot (56) at the right-hand side of the table.
• Slacken the 3 wing nuts (57). Allow the fence face to rest on the table
top, then tighten the wing nuts.
• Slightly loosen the 3 screws (52).
• Slide the fence and adjust the beam angle until the fence face is in line
with the mitre slot.
• Lock the fence head in place by pushing the lever (59) down.
• Tighten the screws (52), starting with the rearmost two.

Adjusting the fence face (fig. H3)
• Slacken the wing nuts (57).
• Set the fence face (5) so it clears the table top by approx. 1 mm.
• If desired, adjust the fence face forward or backward.
• Tighten the wing nuts (57).
For very thin workpieces, the fence face can be set so it rests
on the table top. Make sure to set the fence face so it clears
the table top by approx. 1 mm before moving the fence.
Adjusting the rear fence glide (fig. H2 & H4)
• Slide the rip fence (4) back and forth to check if it slides freely over the
rails (fig. H2).
• Lock the rip fence in place using the lever (59).
If there is excessive up/down movement in the rear of the fence when
locking, the rear fence bracket (60) needs adjustment (fig. H4).
To adjust:
• Slacken the screws (61).
• Set the retaining clip (62) so that it slightly pushes on the rear rail (12).
• Tighten the screws.
• Check that the fence still slides smoothly. If it does not, the clip is
pushing on the rail too strongly.
Mounting the saw blade (fig. A1, A2 & I1 - I2)
The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be
dangerous.
Use a holder or wear gloves when handling saw blades.
• Set the blade arbor (63) (fig. I1) to its highest position using the adjuster (2)
(fig. A1).
• Remove the nut (64) and outer clamp washer (65) (fig. I1).
• Place the blade (66) onto the arbor with the teeth pointing towards the
front of the saw.
• Remount the outer clamp washer (65) and nut (64) as shown. Make
sure that the saw blade is piloted on the outer clamp washer hub (67).
• Use the combination wrench (21) and blade wrench (20) as shown to
tighten the nut (fig. I2).
Should the nut fall into the interior of the saw, carefully remove
it via the 100 mm dust port (18) (fig. A2).
Adjusting the fence scale indicator (fig. J1 & J2)
• Slide the rip fence (4) with its face (5) against the saw blade.
When using the high fence face
• Loosen the screw (68).
• Slide the indicator (69) until the hairline (70) aligns with the 0 line on
the scale.
• Tighten the screw.
When using the low fence face
The indicator has been factory-set for the high fence face. When using the
low fence face, proceed as follows (fig. J2):
• Remove the screw (68).
• Flip the indicator (69) out.
• Reverse the indicator (so the window (71) is on the left side).
• Remount the indicator, aligning the hairline (70) with the 0 line on
the scale.
• Tighten the screw.
