• Wear hearing protection! Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss! Make sure that the machine and its accesso-
ry parts are in technically perfect condition! Only the
above establishes the optimal conditions for noise reduc-
tion. In particular, make sure that the saw blade is neither
dull nor damaged. Worn or damaged saw blades have a
negative effect on noise generation and also pose a safety
risk! You can minimize noise generation by adjusting the
work piece feed to the requirements of material and saw
blade.
• Saw dust from certain materials can be hazardous to your
health if inhaled or if it touches your skin. For that reason,
always wear appropriate protective clothing (e.g. respira-
tor) and always work with the suction device. Attention:
Dust in certain concentrations can generate an explosive
mixture in the air!
• Make sure your mains plug has a protective earthing
conductor and is suitable to operate the device!

3. Description of machine

The FET table saw is a well thought-out machine for all
occurring sawing tasks in the range of small and fine applica-
tions.
A powerful motor, solid mechanics, high-quality materials and
meticulous production make this a reliable tool for all possi-
ble sawing applications.
Depending on the utilised saw blades, all types of wood,
many non-ferrous metals, ceramics and plastics as well as
many other materials can be processed with the machine.
The corresponding saw blades can be obtained from Prox-
xon and will be mentioned in more detail later on.
The bench is made of stable aluminium die casting and
forms one unit together with the motor suspension: The guar-
antees the highest strength and naturally also affects the
precision of the working results.
To guarantee the highest possible flexibility, we offer different
types of limit stops that are included with the machine. So
there is something for every application:
There is a longitudinal stop that runs in a guide along the
front of the bench that can be easily shifted and arrested by
hand, or which can be used with the precisely adjustable
graduated scale.
Adjusting capabilities in the tenth of a millimetre range leave
nothing to be desired and make it easy to saw work pieces to
the desired, previously adjusted measure.
In addition there is a sophisticated and precise angle stop
which can be extended with an aluminium profile strip with a
moving clamping piece for the exact reproduction of many
parts to be sawed out with equal angles and each with the
same dimensions.
The safety aspect was taken care of as well: The saw blade
is covered by a sturdy saw blade guard which automatically
moves up when contact is made with the work piece, and
which only releases as much of the saw blade as necessary.
Caution!
For your own safety, it is understood that the saw may never
be operated without this protective guard!
The upper part of the device is hinged so that it can be
opened for cleaning and maintenance purposes. Thus the
interior of the device can be cleaned of chips and dust with a
vacuum cleaner, for example. To exclude any kind of hazard,
a switching contact disconnects the electrics from the power
mains when the upper housing part is open.
But during all cleaning, maintenance and adjusting work (and
of course during sawing) please remember that your FSK is
not a play toy but a tool for woodworking and is thus a poten-
tial source of danger!
Among others a push-rod for the secure feed of more com-
pact work pieces and two Allen keys are also included in the
delivery. These can be stored in a „key parking slot" on the
right side of the housing.
In the interests of your own safety, please carefully read
through and comply with the attached safety notes, which
are also mentioned in these instructions, and make sure that
you have also understood them!
