1. Unlock the table insert by using a spanner to turn the insert lock. Then lift and remove the table insert.
   

2. Raise the blade to its highest position by turning the adjustment wheel clockwise.
   
   Note: Ensure the bevel angle is set to 0°.

3. Use the 10mm spanner to loosen the riving knife bolt.
   

4. Insert the riving knife behind the plate, leaving a 3-8mm gap between the riving knife and blade teeth.
   

5. Re-tighten the riving knife bolt.

6. Replace the table insert and use the spanner to lock it in place.
   

Attaching The Blade Guard

1. Align the bolt on the blade guard with the hole in the riving knife.
   

2. Tighten the blade guard bolt to attach it to the riving knife.
   

Note: the blade guard must be able to move freely, adjust if necessary

WARNING! THE BLADE GUARD MUST ALWAYS BE LOWERED OVER THE WORK PIECE AND MOUNTED SECURELY BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO CUT.

WARNING! NEVER USE THE TABLE SAW WITHOUT THE BLADE GUARD IN PLACE.

Storing The Push Stick

Always use the push stick to guide material through the cut.

The push stick can be stored in its own slot when not in use.

Installing The Battery Packs

1. Slide the batteries into the tool base until it clicks into place.
   

2. To remove the battery, hold down the battery release button and slide the battery out.
   

WARNING! ALWAYS USE BATTERIES WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF CHARGE.

WARNING! AFTER EVERY NEW ADJUSTMENT WE RECOMMEND YOU MAKE A TRIAL CUT IN A SCRAP PIECE OF MATERIAL IN ORDER TO CHECK THE NEW SETTINGS.

Setting The Cutting Depth
The depth should be adjusted so that no more than one tooth is protruding through the timber. This helps to minimise splintering.

1. To lower the blade for a smaller depth of cut, rotate the adjustment wheel anti-clockwise.
   

2. To raise the blade for a larger depth of cut, rotate the adjustment wheel clockwise.
   

Setting The Bevel Angle
WARNING! THIS TOOL IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHANNEL OR TRENCH CUTS.

1. Release the bevel lock by flipping the lever up and left.
   

2. Slide the adjustment wheel to the desired angle using the bevel scale as a guide.
   

3. Secure the bevel angle by flipping the bevel lock down and right.
   

Rip Fence Cutting Width
The rip fence has to be used when making longitudinal cuts in wooden work pieces.

When cutting thin materials, loosen the 2 thumbscrews on the rip fence and slide the stop rail onto the bolts before tightening everything into place.

When cutting thicker materials, remove the stop rail and bolt assemblies from the rip fence (if attached).

The rip fence can be mounted on either side of the saw table but may require you to change the orientation of the guide rail.

Note: The bolts can be removed and re-inserted from the other direction so that the flat guide face is on the opposite side.

1. Release the rip fence lever and place the fence onto the table guide rail.
   

2. Slide the rip fence to the desired dimension using the scale on the guide rail.
   

3. Press the rip fence lever down to lock it in position.
   

Setting the Stop Length
The stop rail can be moved in a longitudinal direction in order to prevent the workpiece from becoming jammed.

Note: As a rule of thumb, the rear end of the stop comes up against an imaginary line that begins roughly at the centre of the blade and runs at an angle of 45° to the rear.

1. Set the required cutting width.
   

2. Loosen the 2 thumbscrews and push the stop rail forward until it touches the imaginary 45° line.

3. Retighten the 2 thumbscrews.

Adjusting The Extension Table
The extension table can be used to support wider work pieces.

1. Unlock the extension table by flipping the table lock lever upwards.
   

2. Extend the table so that the workpiece is properly supported.
   

3. Press the table lock lever downwards until it clicks to lock the extension table.
   

Note: If the rip fence is used, it should be placed at the 25cm mark on the extension table scale.

Note: The correct scale to use will depend on whether the stop rail is attached.

Using the Sliding Mitre Gauge
The sliding mitre gauge can be fitted into 1 of the 2 grooves in the table and can be used to easily perform mitre angle cuts.

1. Slide the rail of the mitre gauge into 1 of the grooves of the table.
   

2. Loosen the screw to adjust the mitre angle.
   

3. Rotate the mitre gauge to the desired angle using the mitre scale.
   

4. Lock the mitre angle by tightening the screw.
   

WARNING! DO NOT PUSH THE MITRE GAUGE STOP RAIL TOO FAR TOWARD THE BLADE. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE STOP RAIL AND THE BLADE SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 20MM.

Note: The mitre gauge can be stored on the side of the tool when not in use.

4. Guide at the side with your left or right hand (depending on the position of the rip fence) only as far as the front edge of the table.

5. Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife.

6. The off cut piece remains on the saw table until the blade is back in its position of rest.
   

7. Secure long work pieces against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.) .

Cutting Narrow Work Pieces

WARNING! BE SURE TO USE A PUSH STICK WHEN MAKING LONGITUDINAL CUTS.

Be sure to use a push stick when making longitudinal cuts in work pieces smaller than 150mm in width.

Replace a worn or damaged push stick immediately.

Making Bevel Cuts
Bevel cuts must always be done using the rip fence.

WARNING! THE RIP FENCE MUST ALWAYS BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BLADE TO AVOID TRAPPING THE WOOD AND CAUSING KICKBACK.

1. Set the blade to the desired angle. (See Setting the Bevel Angle)
   

2. Set the rip fence in accordance with the workpiece width and height.

3. Carry out the cut in accordance with the workpiece width.

Making Cross Cuts

1. Slide the sliding mitre gauge into one of the grooves in the table and adjust to the required angle (see Sliding Mitre Gauge).
   WARNING! DO NOT PUSH THE MITRE GAUGE STOP RAIL TOO FAR TOWARD THE BLADE. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE STOP RAIL AND THE BLADE SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 20MM.
   WARNING! ALWAYS HOLD THE GUIDED PART OF THE WORKPIECE. NEVER HOLD THE PART WHICH IS TO BE CUT OFF.

2. Press the workpiece firmly against the sliding mitre gauge.
   

3. Switch on the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed.

4. Push the sliding mitre gauge and the workpiece toward the blade in order to make the cut.

TABLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Guarding related warnings

• 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.
• Always use saw blade guard and riving knife 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife.
• Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving 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.

Cutting procedures warnings

• 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
• 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.
• 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.
• When ripping, always keep the workpiece in full contact with the fence and 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 150mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50mm. “Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
• Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance with the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
• Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged or cut push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade.
• 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.
• Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
• 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.
• Feed the workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend, twist or shift the workpiece from side to side. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool, then clean the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
• Do not remove pieces 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.
• Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than 2mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.

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.

• 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.
• 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, centre 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.

Table saw operating procedure warnings

• Turn off the table saw and disconnect the battery packs when removing the table insert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife or saw blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.

• 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.

• 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 your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents.

• Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device.
  Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.

• The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over.

• Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Additional warnings

• Avoid using power tools for long periods of time without breaks. Vibration from tools can be transmitted into your hands and arms.
• This tool is designed to cut timber products only. Do not use the tool to cut any other materials. Do not cut firewood with this tool. The irregular shape of firewood makes it unsafe to cut with this tool.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. Ensure all clamps, levers and locking knobs are securely tightened prior to operation. This will result in projects being produced accurately and safely.
• When the blade binds in material being cut, switch off the tool and wait for blade to come to a complete stop. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate cause of binding.
• Do not use the saw to perform rebate or groove cuts unless suitable guarding, such as tunnel guard, is fitted above the saw table. Do not use the saw for slotting (stopped groove) cuts.
• Use only transportation devices and never use the cuttings guards for handling or transportation when transporting the machine. Always ensure the blades are covered by the blade guard during transportation.
