SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

1. Work area safety
   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   •  Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   •  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   •  Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   •  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   •  Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   •  When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety
   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
   • Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care
   • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and of. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   • Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   • Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
   • Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

General
Please read the operating instructions carefully and observe the information provided. It is important to refer to these instructions in order to acquaint yourself with the equipment, its proper use and safety information.
Additional safety instructions

1. 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, riving knife and anti-kickback device 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.
   NOTE 1 If an anti-kickback device is not provided, the phrase “and anti- kickback device” is omitted.
   NOTE 2 At the manufacturer’s discretion, the term“anti-kickback device” can be replaced by an appropriate term such as “anti-kickback pawls” or “anti- kickback rollers”.
   NOTE 3 The above warning is omitted, if the table saw is designed with a non-removable
   fixed extended riving knife that has a non-removable guarding system.
   • Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires removal of the guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback device. The guard, riving knife, and anti- kickback device help
   to reduce the risk of injury.
   NOTE 1 The term “rabbeting” can be substituted by “rebating”.
   NOTE 2 If dadoing or resawing cuts are not permitted, the term “dadoing or resawing cuts” is omitted.
   NOTE 3 If an anti-kickback device is not provided, the phrase “anti- kickback device” is omitted.
   NOTE 4 At the manufacturer’s discretion, the term “anti-kickback device” can be replaced by an appropriate term such as “anti-kickback pawls” or “anti- kickback rollers”.
   NOTE 5 The above warning is omitted, if the table saw is designed with a non-removable fixed extended riving knife that has a non-removable guarding system.
   • 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 inefective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
   • For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife and anti-kickback device are inefective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback device. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and antikickback device.
   NOTE 1 If an anti-kickback device is not provided, the phrase “and anti- kickback device” is omitted.
   NOTE 2 At the manufacturer’s discretion, the term “anti-kickback device” can be replaced by an appropriate term such as “anti-kickback pawls” or “anti- kickback rollers”.
   • 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.

2. 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 or cutter 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.
   NOTE If cutters other than the saw blade are not permitted in accordance with 8.14.2 then “or cutter” is omitted.
   • 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 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 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm.
   “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
   A with the instructions. This push stick provides su cient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
   • Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged 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 workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool of immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
   • Do not remove pieces of cut-of 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 of 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 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.

3. 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 of against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut of 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.
   • Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
   NOTE 1 The term “rabbeting” can be substituted by “rebating”.
   NOTE 2 If dadoing or resawing cuts are not permitted, the term “dadoing or resawing cuts” is omitted.
   NOTE 3 The above warning is omitted, if the table saw is designed with a non-removable fixed extended riving knife that has a non-removable saw blade guard.
   • Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
   NOTE The above safety warning only applies to tools where such cuts are permitted by design and instruction.
   • 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. 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 sucient 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.

4. Table saw operating procedure warnings
   • Turn of the table saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife, antikickback device or saw blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended.
   Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.
   NOTE 1 If an anti-kickback device is not provided, the phrase “anti- kickback device” is omitted.
   NOTE 2 At the manufacturer’s discretion, the term “anti-kickback device” can be replaced by an appropriate term such as “anti-kickback pawls” or “anti- kickback rollers”.
   • Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it of 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 of-centre, causing loss of control.
   • Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as anges, 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.
   • Never use the tool with an abrasive cut-of wheel installed.
   • Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
   • Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer and which conform to EN847-1, and observe that the riving kinfe must not be thicker than the width of cut by the saw blade and not thinner than the body of the blade.
   • Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.
   • Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
   • Never use the blades which maximum speed is lower than the no load speed of the tool.
   • The tool should not be used for slotting, rabbetting or grooving.
   • The guard can be lifted during workpiece setup and for ease of cleaning. Always make sure that guard hood is down and at against sawtable before plugging in the tool.
   • Operators must be adequately trained in the assembly, adjustment and operation of the tool.
   • Wear eye protection and hearing protection. Wear gloves against the hazard of cutting when handling saw blades, feeding wood into the tool or doing maintenance.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

**WARNING!** Pull out the power plug before assembling, adjusting and changing the saw blade. Carefully remove the table saw from the carton and remove the protective foam from around the motor.

MOUNTING THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE AND BEVEL ADJUSTMENT HANDLE

• Attach the height adjustment handle to the height adjustment handwheel and tighten the handle.
• Attach the bevel adjustment handle to the bevel adjustment handwheel and tighten the handle.

SETTING UP THE EXTENSION TABLE
The extension table can be hung either to the right or to the left of the working table.

• Fold the legs of the extension table down.
• Hang the table extension on the saw table.
• Turn the leveling foot in or out to bring the extension table flush with the working table. Then tighten the locking nuts.

MOUNTING THE BLADE GUARD

• Raise the riving knife to maximum height position.
• Loosen the bolt and remove the bolt and locking nut from the blade guard.
• Attach the blade gurad to the riving knife with the bolt and locking nut.

**WARNING! The blade guard must be in position at all times to prevent contact with the saw blade. It should life up and onto the workpiece when workpiece is passed through the saw.
****WARNING!** The blade guard should return to its rest position after the workpiece has been cut.
REPLACING THE TABLE INSERT

• Loosen the screw and pull the blade guard of the riving knife.
•  Loosen seven screws of the table insert and remove them.
•  Lift the worn table insert up and out.
• Fit a new table insert in reverse order.

ADJUSTING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN SAW BLADE’S OUTER EDGE AND RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife is an important safety device as it prevents the workpiece from recoiling.
To guarantee the function of the riving knife, the distance between the saw blade’s outer edge and the riving knife must not be more than 5 mm.
NOTE: The riving knife has been correctly set at the factory. Readjusment prior to initial operation is only required should the riving kinfe have become maladjusted in transit.
Proceed as follows to adjust the blade guard correctly:

• Slightly loosen the set screws from two holes from the table insert.
• Adjust the riving kinfe until the distance between the saw blade’s outer edge and the riving knife must not be more than 5 mm.

NOTE: Check position of the riving knife after each replacement of the saw blade.

RIVING KNIFE AND SAW BLADE ALIGNMENT
NOTE: Pay attention that the riving knife is aligned with the saw blade in a straight line.
Blade and riving knife alignment is set at factory and in most cases will not need to be adjusted.
However, the alignment should always be checked after installing blade or adjusting riving knife, and can be adjusted if necessary. If riving knife is out of alignment with blade, adjustment is needed. Riving knife must be in alignment front to back.
To check/adjust:

• With saw blade in vertical (0 degree) position and raise blade to maximum height position.

• Place straight edge (or framing square) against both blade and riving knife. Blade and riving knife are aligned if straight edge contacts both blade and riving knife evenly with no gaps.
  NOTE: Place straight edge between carbide teeth and measure from blade. This step will ensure straight edge is square against blade from front to back of blade.

• If blade and riving knife are not aligned, slightly loosen the set screws from two holes from the table insert., adjust the riving knife to left or right until it is aligned with the blade.

• Once properly aligned, securely tighten two set screws.
  NOTE: If the riving knife is out of alignment with the saw blade, adjustment is needed. The blade and riving knife must always be correctly aligned so that the cut workpiece will pass on either side of the riving knife without binding or twisting to the side.

**WARNING!** Improper riving knife alignment can cause kickback and serious injury.

MOUNTING THE RIP FENCE AND AUXILIARY FENCE

• First, you have to fix the clamping elements to the rip fence.
• Do not fasten the locking knobs (for rip fence) yet!
• Push the rip fence on the table top. Be sure to to push the guide plates over the edge of the table top.
• Secure the auxiliary together with locking knobs (for auxiliary fence) and two screws to the rip fence.
  NOTE: Auxiliary fence has two guiding surfaces (upper or lower setting edge). Depending on thickness of the material to cut, install the auxiliary fence properly.
  Loosen the fixing knobs for (rip fence) and slide the auxiliary fence out of the slot in the rip fence.
  Turn the auxiliary fence to proper position and reinstall on the rip fence.

**WARNING! Slide the auxiliary fence to the front edge of the scale on the working table to prevent jamming of the material being cut. When rip fence is installed on the other side of the working table, move the auxiliary fence and its fixing to the opposite side of the rip fence. You can read cutting width on the scales located on the working table top.
ALIGNING RIP FENCE TO BLADE
Rip fence and blade alignment is set at factory and in most cases will not need to be adjusted. However, the alignment should always be checked after installing blade or before making cuts, and can be adjusted if necessary. If rip fence is out of alignment with blade, adjustment is needed.
WARNING!** Rip fence must be aligned to blade so that wood does not bind, resulting in kickback. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

To check/adjust:

• Raise the blade to heighest position.
• Place the framing square beside the blade, unlock the rip fence locking knobs to move the rip fence up to the square.
• Lock two rip fence locking knobs and note the value on the front and back scales.
• If two values are not same, you need contact with ADEO service to ask for new scales to repositon scales.
• Make two or three test cuts using scrap wood. If the cuts are not true, repeat the process.
  WARNING! Two repositioned scales must be correct. If it is not, kickback could result in a serious injury and inability to make accurate cuts.

MOUNTING AND SET THE MITRE GAUGE

• Attach the mitre gauge locking knob and a flat washer to mitre gauge body and tighten locking knob.
• Attach the fence to the mitre gauge body with two screws and two locking knobs.
• Push the guide rail of the mitre gauge into the guide groove on the working table top.

Setting the angle

• Loosen the mitre gauge locking knob.
• Set the mitre gauge to the required angle.
• Tighten the mitre gauge locking knob again.

TO ATTACH THE DUST EXTRACTION ADAPTER AND DUST EXTRACTION HOSE

• Attach the side A on the dust extraction adapter to the dust extraction port on the rear of the table saw.
•  Attach the dust extraction hose to the dust port on the blade guard and the side B on the dust extraction adapter.

To prevent sawdust buildup, for best result, attach a vacuum hose (not included) to the side Con the dust extraction adapter. DO NOT operate the saw with hose in place unless the vacuum is turned on.
**WARNING! Dust extraction must be fitted and the table saw must regularly check for dust build up and cleaned frequently, otherwise there is a risk of heat built up and potential fire.
WARNING! Health hazard due to dust! Use a special extractor when extracting particularly harmful or dry dusts. The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material to be processed.
ON/OFF SWITCH
WARNING!** The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of the saw. Switch on the table saw only when saw blade is away from the material that is to be cut.

• Switching on – press the button I of the switch.
• Switching off – press the button O of the switch.

OVERLOAD RESET SWITCH
This saw is equipped with an overload reset switch. It is situated at the immediate top of the
ON/OFF switch.
The overload reset switch will restart the motor after it shuts off due to overloading.
If the motor stops during operation, push the switch to the OFF position. Wait approximately five minutes for the motor to cool down and push the overload reset switch. Now you can switch to the ON position again.
WARNING! In order to avoid injury and prevent accidental start-up when the overload reset switch is pushed, ON/OFF switch should be in the OFF position, and the power cord should be unplugged from the outlet while the saw is cooling down. Overheating may be caused by an under-sized extension cord, an extension cord that is too long, misaligned parts, or a dull blade. Inspect the saw for proper set-up before using it again.

CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

• Turn the height adjustment handwheel counter-clockwise to increase cutting depth, or clockwise to reduce cutting depth.
• You can read the set value on the cutting depth scale located on the riving knife.

WARNING! The table saw should be adjusted so the highest point of the saw blade is just above the surface of the material being cut.
WARNING! In order to be able to use the complete adjustment range of 45°, the cut height must be reduced accordingly.
WARNING! Risk of injury! Body parts or objects which are in the adjustment area can caught by the running saw blade! Only adjust the cut height when the saw blade is standing still!
WARNING! To balance out possible play in the cut height adjustment, always move the saw blade into the desired position from below.

WARNING! The saw blade must not be set to the inclined position
when the blade is turning. The motor must be switched off first.
Adjusting between 0° – 45°•

• Loosen two locking knobs (for saw blade tilt) (one each on the front and rear of the saw).
•  Turn the bevel adjustment handwheel until the required angle is shown (0° – 45°).
• Tighten the two locking knobs again.

**WARNING! In order to be able to use the complete adjustment range of 45°, the cut height must be reduced accordingly.
WARNING! Risk of injury! Body parts or objects which are in the adjustment area can caught by the running saw blade! Only adjust the cut height when the saw blade is standing still!
Adjusting the angle indicator:**

• Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord.
• Use a square to align the saw blade vertically.
• Loosen the screw and slide the angle indicator to the 0° mark.

ADJUST THE DISTANCE OF THE RIP FENCE

• Unlock two rip fence locking knobs.
• Slide the rip fence to the require position. The set position can be read off using two scales on the working table top.
• Lock two rip fence locking knobs.

PUSH STICK
Push stick is a device used for safely pushing a workpiece through the blade instead of using your hands. They can be made from scrap wood in various sizes and shapes to be used in a specific project. The stick must be narrow than the workpiece, with a 90° notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end. Use a push stick whenever the fence is 15 cm or less from the blade. Push stick should be used in place of the user’s hand to guide the material between the fence and blade. When using a push stick, the trailing end of the board must be square. A push stick against an uneven end could slip off or push the workpiece away from the fence.

**WARNING! Risk of injury! Do not locate the push stick to the rear of the workpiece, kickback can result from the push stick pinching the workpiece and binding the blade in the saw kerf if positioned improperly. It may cause serious personal injury.
ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE MITRE GAUGE
The mitre gauge can be adjusted by a maximum of 60° for mitre cuts.
WARNING!** Risk of injury! Do not push the parallel fence too far in the direction of the saw blade. The distance between the parallel fence and the front of the saw blade should be approx. 2.5 cm.

• Loosen the mitre gauge locking handle.
• By turning the parallel fence, set the desired angle on the scale.
•  Tighten the mitre gauge locking handle.

BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
WARNING! Risk of injury! If the distance between the rip fence and saw blade is less than 15 cm, the push stick must be used.
WARNING! Risk of injury! Always hold the guided workpiece fast, never the free workpiece which has been cut off.
WARNING! Product damage! Check the wood to be worked carefully. The device can be damaged severely by foreign bodies such as nail, screws, etc.
WARNING! Product damage! Always use sharp saw blades. Blunt blades can overload and damage the product.
For safety reasons, verify that the operator has read the section entitled general safety guidelines for the table saw before operating this saw. Verify the following before every time the table saw is used:

• The blade is tight.
• The blade tilt locking knobs are locked.
• If ripping, the rip fence locking knobs are tight, and fence is parallel to the mitre gauge groove and the blade.
•  If crosscutting, the mitre gauge locking knob is tight.
• The blade guard and riving knife are in place, and are working properly.
• Safety glasses are worn.
• Failure to adhere to these safety rules will greatly increase the chances of injury. Before using table saw, polish the tabletop with automotive polishing wax in order to keep it clean, and to make it easier to slide the workpiece.

There are two basic types of table saw cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping refers to cutting along the length of the grain and the workpiece. Crosscutting refers to either cutting across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. This distinction may be hard to make with man made materials. Therefore, cutting a piece of material to a different width is ripping, and cutting across the short dimension is crosscutting. Neither operation can be performed safely freehand: ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the use of the mitre gauge. Never use the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time during the cutting operation.

**WARNING!** Risk of injury! Do not use more than one rip fence or  a combination of a mitre gauge and a rip fence at the same time during a cutting operation.

RIPPING

• Remove the mitre gauge and set the rip fence to appropriate cutting width..
• Raise the blade until it is approximately 1/8” above the top of the workpiece.
•  Place the workpiece  at on the table and against the auxiliary fence so that the larger portion of the workpiece is between the blade and the fence. Keep the workpiece approximately 1” away from the blade.
• Turn the saw ON, and wait for the blade to reach full speed.
• Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing forward on the section of the workpiece that will pass between the blade and the auxiliary fence.
• Do not place your thumbs on the table top. Always hold the workpiece while the blade is turning. Do not let go of it in order to reach for the push stick. When both thumbs touch the front edge of the table, complete the cut using a push stick.
• Always use the push stick when perform ripping operations.
• Continue to push the workpiece with push stick until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of the table.
• Do not pull the workpiece backward while the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF, and unplug the power cord. Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop and slide the workpiece out.
  WARNING! Make a try cut after each adjustment to ensure the new setting is correct. When making a cut stand to the side of line of cutting.
  BEVEL RIPPING
  Bevel ripping is the same as ripping, except that the blade bevel angle is set to and angle other than “0”.
  WARNING! Risk of injury! The workpiece and the fence must be on the right side of the blade when cutting.

CUTTING SMALL MATERIAL

•  Set the rip fence to appropriate cutting width.

• Feed the material pressed against the auxiliary fence towards the cutting blade, use borh hands.
  When getting close to the saw blade always use the push stick (included) to move the material or use additional piece of wood to push against the auxiliary material being cut.

•  Always push the cut material to the end of the riving knife.
  WARNING! When cutting short and narrow material, use the push stick from the beginning.
  WARNING! If the distance between the rip fence and saw blade is less than 15 cm, the push stick must be used.

CROSSCUTTING

•  Remove the rip fence and place the mitre gauge in the mitre groove on the table.

•  Raise the blade unitl it is approximately 1/8” above the top of the workpiece.

•  Hold the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge, with the path of the blade in line with the desired cutting line. Move the workpiece to within 1” of the blade.

• Start the saw, and wait for the blade to reach full speed. Do not stand directly in line with the saw blade’s path. Instead, stand on the side where the cut is being made.

• Keep the workpiece against the parallel fence of the mitre gauge and flat against the table.
  Slowly push the mitre gauge with the workpiece through the blade.

• Do not attempt to pull the workpiece backward while blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF, and wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before carefully sliding the workpiece out.

**WARNING! In order to avoid instability, always place the larger surface of the workpiece on the table when crosscutting and/or bevel crosscutting.
WARNING! Always move the processed material enough to complete the cutting. When crosscutting do not use rip fence with auxiliary fence as a length limiter for piece of material being cut off, because this piece may jam between auxiliary fence and saw blade, and cause kickback effect.
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING: 0°-45° BLADE BEVEL & 0° MITRE ANGLE
This operation is the same as crosscutting, except that the blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°.
COMPOUND MITRE CROSSCUTTING: 0°-45° BLADE BEVEL & 0°-45°MITRE ANGLE**
This sawing operation combines a mitra angle with a bevel angle.

• Set the mitre gauge to the desired angle.
•  Set the blade bevel to the desired bevel angle, and tighten the blade tilt locking knobs.
• Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of the mitre gauge throughtout the cutting operations.

MITRING: 0°-45° MITRE ANGLE
This operation is the same as crosscutting, except that the mitre gauge is locked at an angle other than 90°.

• Set the blade to a 0° bevel angle, and tighten the blade tilt locking knobs.
• Set the mitre gauge to the desired mitre angle, and secure it in position by tightening the miter gauge locking knob.
• Hold the workpiece firmly against the parallel fence of the mitre gauge throughout the cutting operation.

MAKING A 45° MITRE CUT
Always use rip fence and auxiliary fence plus the angle stop or the mitre gauge to cut 45° mitres.
Making a 45° cut with the angle stop
Always use rip fence and auxiliary fence when using the angle stop.

• Attach angle stop to the auxiliary fence.
• Set the rip fence to desired cutting width and secure with locking knobs for rip fence.
•  Put workpiece in the angle stop.
•  Switch on the saw and move the angle stop with the material along the auxiliary fence towards the saw blade.
•  Switch the saw off when cutting is finished.
  Making a 45° cut with the mitre gauge
  Refer to the section “MITRING: 0°-45° MITRE ANGLE”.

TIPS FOR CUTTING

• It is recommended after each adjustment to make a try cut to ensure the new settings are correct and check dimensions.
• After switching the saw on, wait until cutting blade reaches its top maximum speed running idle, only then you can proceed with cutting.
• Secure long objects from falling after cutting (e.g. with a roller support).
• Be very careful when starting a cut!
• When cutting wood that has already been used, ensure it is free from unwanted objects, such as nails, screws etc.
• Wait until saw blade comes to a complete stop, only then you can remove cut off pieces.
• Always hold main part of the processed material. Never hold the part that is being cut off.
