INSTALLATION

Positioning table saw

mm min. length
► Fig.3: 1. 6 mm Std. washer 2. 6 mm Mounting bolt
& Nut tighten securely
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 leaves enough room to easily handle the size of your
workpieces. The table saw should be secured with four screws or
bolts to the work bench or table saw stand using the holes pro-
vided in the bottom of the table saw. When securing the table saw
on the work bench, make sure that there is an opening in the top
of the work bench the same size as the opening in the bottom of
the table saw so the sawdust can drop through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table
saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table
saw stand should be secured to the floor.

► Fig.9

The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45°
to the table surface. To check and adjust the positive
stops, proceed as follows:
Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it. Place
a triangular rule on the table and check to see if the blade is
at 90° or 45° to the table surface. If the blade is at an angle
shown in Fig. A, turn the adjusting screws clockwise; if it is at
an angle shown in Fig. B, turn the adjusting screws counter-
clockwise to adjust the positive stops.
After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to
the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that
its right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation.
