SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS Do not use the saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions in this manual. If you are not completely familiar with operating saws, obtain help from a qualified person. Replace table insert when worn. Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1.

When working with a long workpiece, use an additional support such as a saw blade to prevent the blade from grabbing the work. When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the workpiece from turning on the table. There must be no nails or other foreign bodies in the part of the workpiece you want to cut. Never load the machine so much that it slows down and overheats.

Move the rip fence out of the way when crosscutting. Feed the work into the blade AGAINST the direction of rotation only. Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting. Keep these instructions safe.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS EXTENSION CORDS Before using an extension cord, ensure the insulation is not cut or worn. Immediately repair or replace a damaged or frayed cord. Length of the extension cord: up to 15m Dimension of the wire: 3 x 2.5mm ATTENTION : Extension cords must be removed from the work area or located so that they will not get caught in parts, tools or other objects while using the tool.

To make the table saw work correctly, you must assemble the various parts. A detailed explanation of this follows. We recommend you read the assembly instructions carefully and follow them to the letter. Once you have assembled the table saw, in order to use it you must place it on a perfectly plane surface, in a covered, clean, empty and well- ventilated environment, with a medium level lighting.
ASSEMBLING THE BASE CAUTION : Before any adjustment, repair or maintenance work, and before changing the blade, switch off the machine and disconnect it from the power supply by removing the plug from the socket. 1. Remove the table saw from the package, turn it upside down and place it on the ground, as shown in Fig. 17, while protecting it so as not to damage it.
ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING THE RIVING KNIFE AND BLADE PROTECTION 1. Unscrew the screw (Fig. 7, 34) and remove the bench insert (Fig. 7, 6). 2. Insert the riving knife (Fig 2, 5) between the two steel plates, by making the knife groove glive in the two joggles of the fixed plate, and move the mobile plate close by tightening the socket head screw by hand (Fig.
3. Loosen the blade clamping nut by placing a wrench on the nut and the other on the milling of the shaft, as shown in Fig. 5. 4. Caution : Turn the nut in the rotational direction of the blade. 5.
ASSEMBLING THE MITRE GAUGE You can use the mitre gauge to cut crosswise. 1. Insert the mitre gauge in the groove (Fig. 9, 49). 2. Loosen the knob (Fig. 9, 32), choose the desired angle and tighten the knob. 3. Keep the wood piece perfectly straight and proceed to cut. BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE By turning the handle (Fig.
1. Loosen the knobs (Fig. 13, 26) and make the rip fence glide until its end is on the imaginary line mentioned above. 2. Tighten the two knobs firmly then proceed to cut. ON/OFF SWITCH WARNING : Before switching on the machine, ensure that the blade is correctly fitted, that there are no objects on the workbench and that the blade guard is assembled and working correctly.
ANGLE CROSSCUT This means cutting or trimming the wood piece in the direction of the grain and must always be carried out using the rip fence, as shown in Figs. 21-22. You can cut longitudinally, as shown in Fig. 21, or longitudinally and tilted, with the blade tilted from 0°...
CROSS CUT AND OBLIQUE CUT In order to carry out these kind of cuts you must use the mitre gauge and without the rip fence on the workbench. Cross cut consists in cutting the wood piece crosswise to the wood grain, with the goniometer at 0°, while during oblique cutting the mitre gauge is fixed at a different angle, as shown in Fig.
MAINTENANCE A composed cut is a combination between an angle and an oblique cut. The cut is carried out at an angle different from 90°, both compared to the workbench’s surface and to the workpiece’s length. CAUTION: Before making any adjustments, repair or maintenance work, and before changing the blade, switch off the machine and disconnect it from the power source by removing the plug from the socket.
TROUBLESHOOTING The saw does not start: The power socket is not supplying power correctly The power cable is faulty The motor is damaged or the carbon brushes must be replaced Machine vibrations: The inclination lock handle is not tightened ...
