5. Operating Instructions
This section details the operation of your Saker Mini Multi-Functional Table Saw for various tasks.
5.1 Power and Speed Adjustment
The saw is powered by a 100W pure copper motor, operating at speeds up to 6000 rpm. It features 7 adjustable speed settings for precise control.
Figure 5.1: The power adapter allows for easy adjustment of the 7 distinct speed settings.
To adjust the speed, use the controls on the power adapter. Select the appropriate speed for your material and task. Higher speeds are generally used for softer materials and faster cuts, while lower speeds provide more control for delicate work.

Blade Selection: The saw comes with four types of circular saw blades, each suited for different materials:
- PCB Cutting Blades: For printed circuit boards.
- High-Speed Steel Saw Blades: General purpose, suitable for wood and soft metals.
- Alloy Saw Blades: For harder materials.
- Resin Saw Blades: For plastic and acrylic.
Figure 5.2: Choose the appropriate blade type for the material you are cutting.
Height Adjustment: The saw blade height can be adjusted to control the cutting depth. Use the adjustment mechanism to raise or lower the blade as needed for your material thickness.
Figure 5.3: The saw features a height adjustment mechanism for precise cutting depth control.
Angle Cutting: The cutting angle can be adjusted from 0° to 90°. This allows for miter cuts and other angled operations. The panel has clear markings to ensure stable, accurate, and straight cuts.
Figure 5.4: The adjustable cutting angle allows for precise miter cuts.
Cutting Procedure:
- Select the appropriate blade and adjust its height and angle.
- Ensure the workpiece is clean and free of obstructions.
- Align the workpiece with the desired cut line using the panel markings.
- Turn on the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed.
- Slowly and steadily feed the workpiece into the blade, maintaining firm pressure against the fence.
- Once the cut is complete, turn off the saw and wait for the blade to stop before removing the workpiece.
5.3 Sanding and Engraving
The flexible shaft attachment and various drilling heads allow the table saw to function as a versatile rotary tool for sanding, polishing, and engraving.
Figure 5.5: The flexible shaft allows for detailed sanding and engraving work.
Figure 5.6: Various drill chucks are available for different working heads.
Using the Flexible Shaft:
- Ensure the main saw unit is unplugged.
- Attach the flexible shaft to the designated port on the saw.
- Select the appropriate drilling head (sanding drum, polishing wheel, engraving bit) and secure it into the chuck of the flexible shaft. The soft shaft can hold drilling heads with shank diameters of 0.5-3.2mm.
- Plug in the saw and turn it on. Adjust the speed as needed for the task.
- Carefully apply the working head to the workpiece, using light and consistent pressure.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Saker Mini Multi-Functional Table Saw.
