Exposing this product to those environments may result in damage to the tool and operator injury. Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.
Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

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 hats, 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 a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, 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. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from the 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.

Know your machine. Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
Use safety goggles. Some machines require additional face shielding than offered by safety goggles alone. Know your machine and the proper PPE to use.

Warning: Use only supplier Tools or compatible and marked replacement parts. All others may cause damage or harm.
Warning: Use only manufacturer-recommended accessories. Some accessories may cause damage or harm.

Tool Use

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 on and off. 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 tool bits, etc. to 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.

Use proper speed. A machine will do a better and safer job when operated at the proper speed.
Use the correct tool for the job. Know the limitations and capabilities of your new purchase. Do not try to “fit a square peg in a round hole.
Secure the workpiece. For all woodworking and metalworking applications, the workpiece should be secured correctly by the operator using appropriate clamps and vises. Always use a clamp or vise when available — it is safer than using your hands.

Feed direction. If the feed rate is applicable, then there is only one direction of feed rate for the tool. Do not force the workpiece in the wrong feed direction.
Never leave the tool running unattended. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. When unattended, unplug the tool.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace them if damaged. Keep hands dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Illumination. Adequate general or localized lighting shall be provided.
Dust Collection. During use, the saw benches shall be connected to an external chip and dust extraction system.

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 a 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 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.

Work-related 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 toward 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.
Never use the miter fence to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when cross-cutting with the miter fence. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the miter fence 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 under 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 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 miter fence to position and guide the workpiece. “Freehand” means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or miter fence. 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 or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off 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-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 the material.
Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the tabletop when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.

Kickback causes and related warnings

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 toward anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
Never reach over or in the back of the saw blade to pull or 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 ka ickback.
Use extra caution when cutting into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. Note, that the above safety warning only applies to tools where such cuts are permitted by design and instruction.
Support large panels to minimize 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 tabletop.
Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a miter fence 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, center 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 minimize binding, stalling, and kickback.

Table saw operating procedure warnings

Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, changing the saw blade, or making adjustments to the receiving 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. Distractions or a potential jam can be dangerous.
Always use saw blades with the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-center, causing a 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.

Electrical

Machine 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 the risk of electric shock.
Disconnect the power first. Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before adjusting, changing tooling, or servicing the machine
Power supply: 230V/50Hz/1 phase.
Use a qualified electrician for all electrical connections. Failure to do so may result in damage to the tool and electrical shock to the operator and bystanders.
Power plugs. Your machine may not come with a power plug because of the variance in power receptacles. Consult with a local electrician before purchasing a power plug.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Extension cords. Consult with or use a qualified electrician before sizing extension cords for use with this machine.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The 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.
Electrical protection. The end user should connect the machine to a circuit protected with an overvoltage protection.

Grounding

Proper grounding of your machines lowers the risk of injury by electricity.
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 modify the plug. Do not remove any of the prongs attached to the proper plug for the machine.
Use only 3-wire extension cords.
Some extension cords only have two wires, which does not allow for grounding.
Always use grounded connections and work only on a grounded circuit.

Rulings

Warning:
Before connecting this tool to a power supply (receptacle, outlet, etc.) Make sure that the voltage supplied is the same that is specified on the nameplate of the tool. Also, make sure that the power supply is equipped with the appropriate breaker and plug according to your local electrical code. If in doubt, do not plug in the machine. Using this tool with a voltage different than that stated on the nameplate can damage the electrical components of this machine and any such damage will not be covered by a warranty.

Warning:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead-based paint.
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Adjust the view as needed.
Tighten the view screws.

Place fence in fence guide

WARNING:
MAKE SURE SAW IS UNPLUGGED. With the blade in a high position, bring the fence close to – but not touching – the blade. Use a folded piece of paper between the blade and the fence to ensure good distance.

Adjust the viewport

Use a #2 Philips head driver to loosen (but do not remove) the transparent scale reader. Adjust the viewport as needed, tighten the screws. Note: If adjusting the viewport does not allow enough to zero the scale, see step 8 of machine setup.

Note:
There are 2 viewports on the rip fence to adjust material width according to the position of the aluminum profile – vertically or horizontally.

Adjusting the fence glide bushings:
You may need to adjust glide bushings on the rip fence. The fence should be between 1-3 mm off the table to prevent scratches and any thin stock to slip through.

Unplug the table saw!

Front glide bushings

To adjust the front bushings, use the included hex key to raise or lower the nylon bushings that make contact with the front fence rail.

Rear guide bushings

To adjust the rear bushing, loosen the hex nut that locks the height position of the bushing. Adjust the position and tighten the hex nut.

Adjusting the fence to be parallel with the blade:
It is very important to only operate this saw with the blade parallel to the fence. Note: If this section does not help, please see the section Table Adjustments: Adjusting the table to be parallel with the blade. The blade needs to be parallel to the table (miter slots) to effectively make the fence parallel to the blade.

Unplug the table saw!
Position the fence to access the fence adjustment screws.
Use a hex key to adjust each side.
Make small increments and check.

Use caution: It is not guaranteed that the fence will be parallel to the saw blade when shipped from the factory. Make sure to make all required adjustments to make the fence parallel to the saw blade prior to operation.

Position the fence to access adjustment screws

WARNING:
MAKE SURE SAW IS UNPLUGGED. Take the fence out of position and flip it on its back side to access the cat screws that push the nylon supports in/out.
