Setup & Preparation
1. Adjustments
WARNING: ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.
Cutting Depth
To adjust the cutting depth:
- To lower the blade for a smaller depth of cut, rotate the blade height & bevel adjustment clockwise. ?
- To raise the blade for a larger depth of cut, rotate the blade height & bevel adjustment anti-clockwise. ?
Bevel Angle
To set the bevel angle:
- Loosen the bevel lock by rotating anti-clockwise. ?
- Push and hold the blade height & bevel adjustment dial in to engage the bevel gear.
- Rotate the blade height & bevel adjustment to the desired angle using the bevel scale. ?
- Release the blade height & bevel adjustment dial, secure in place by rotating the bevel lock clockwise. ?
2. Setting the Rip Fence
Rip Fence Stop Height
The rip fence has two guide faces: one for thick material and one for thin material.
To set the rip fence:
- Loosen the rip fence lever and insert the fence into the table guide rail.
- Slide the rip fence to the desired dimension using the scale on the guide rail. ?
- Tighten the rip fence lever to lock the rip fence in position.
To change the stop rail (for thick/thin material):
- Loosen the 2 wing nuts.
- Slide the stop rail off and re-insert the desired rail.
- Tighten the 2 wing nuts to lock in place.
Setting the Stop Length
The stop rail can be moved longitudinally to prevent the workpiece from jamming.
Note: The rear end of the stop should align with an imaginary line starting at the blade's center and extending 45° rearward.
- Set the required cutting width.
- Loosen the wing nuts and push the stop rail forward until it touches the imaginary 45° line.
- Retighten the wing nuts.
Rip Fence Cutting Width
The rip fence is used for longitudinal cuts in wooden workpieces and can be mounted on either side of the saw table.
3. Setting the Mitre Gauge
Using the Sliding Mitre Gauge
The sliding mitre gauge fits into one of the two table grooves for making mitre angle cuts.
- Slide the rail of the mitre gauge into one of the grooves of the table.
- Loosen the knurled screw to adjust the mitre angle. ?
- Rotate the mitre gauge to the desired angle using the mitre scale. ?
- Lock the mitre angle by tightening the knurled screw. ?
IMPORTANT! DO NOT PUSH THE MITRE GAUGE STOP RAIL TOO FAR TOWARD THE BLADE. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE STOP RAIL AND THE BLADE SHOULD BE APPROX. 20MM. ?
4. Using the Table Saw
CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, THE USE OF A RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RATED 30mA OR LESS) IS RECOMMENDED. ⚡
On / Off Switch
- To turn the saw ON, press the green button "I". ▶️
- Note: Wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed before commencing the cut.
- To turn the saw OFF, press the red button "0". ⏹️
Blade Guard
- The blade guard must move freely. Adjust if necessary (refer to Assembly Manual).
IMPORTANT! THE BLADE GUARD MUST ALWAYS BE LOWERED OVER THE WORK PIECE AND MOUNTED SECURELY BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO CUT. ?️
IMPORTANT! AFTER EVERY NEW ADJUSTMENT, WE RECOMMEND YOU MAKE A TRIAL CUT TO CHECK THE NEW SETTINGS. ✔️
5. Making a Cut
Making Longitudinal Cuts / Ripping
Press one edge of the workpiece against the rip fence while the flat side lies on the saw table. The blade guard must always be lowered over the workpiece. Never adopt a working position in line with the cutting direction.
- Set the rip fence according to workpiece height and desired width (See Stop Height, Cutting Width).
- Switch on the saw by pressing the ON button "I". ▶️
- Place hands flat on the workpiece, ensuring fingers are clear of the blade, and push the workpiece along the rip fence and into the blade. ✋
- Guide at the side with your left or right hand (depending on rip fence position) only as far as the front edge of the blade guard.
- Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife.
- The off-cut piece remains on the saw table until the blade returns to its rest position.
- Secure long work pieces against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g., with a roller stand).
Cutting Narrow Work Pieces
IMPORTANT! BE SURE TO USE A PUSH STICK WHEN MAKING LONGITUDINAL CUTS. ?
Use a push stick for longitudinal cuts in work pieces smaller than 120mm in width. A push stick is supplied with the saw. Replace worn or damaged push sticks immediately.
Making Bevel Cuts
Bevel cuts must always be done using the rip fence.
- Set the blade to the desired angle (See Setting the Bevel Angle). ?
- Set the rip fence according to workpiece width and height (See Stop Height).
- Carry out the cut according to the workpiece width.
Making Cross Cuts
- Slide the sliding mitre gauge into one of the table grooves and adjust to the required angle (see Sliding Mitre Gauge).
- Press the workpiece firmly against the sliding mitre gauge.
- Switch on the saw by pressing the ON button "I". ▶️
- Push the sliding mitre gauge and the workpiece toward the blade to make the cut.
- Push the sliding mitre gauge forward until the workpiece is cut all the way through.
- Switch off the saw again. Do not remove the off-cut until the blade has stopped rotating. ⏹️
IMPORTANT! DO NOT PUSH THE MITRE GAUGE STOP RAIL TOO FAR TOWARD THE BLADE. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE STOP RAIL AND THE BLADE SHOULD BE APPROX. 20MM. ?
6. Adjusting the Riving Knife
Setting the Riving Knife
To achieve a cutting height of 85mm, the riving knife can be raised to its maximum height. The riving knife helps prevent kickback and should be checked each time the blade is replaced.
- Set the blade to the maximum cutting depth by rotating the blade height adjustment and setting the bevel adjustment to 0°. ?
- Remove the blade guard by removing the screw. ?
- Unscrew the countersunk head screw and remove the table insert. ?
- Loosen the fixing screw. ?
- Raise the riving knife until the gap between the saw table and the upper edge of the riving knife is approximately 120mm. ?
- The clearance between the blade and the riving knife should be 3-5 mm. ?
- Retighten the fixing screw and then refit the table insert and blade guard. ?
7. Blade Replacement
Fitting / Replacing the Blade
Note: This product is designed for 250mm saw blades for timber cutting only.
WARNING! ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.
- Set the blade to the maximum cutting depth by rotating the blade height adjustment and setting the bevel adjustment to 0°. ?
- Remove the blade guard by removing the screw. ?
- Unscrew the countersunk head screw and remove the table insert. ?
- Undo the blade bolt with a 10mm spanner and a 21mm spanner on the blade outer flange to apply counter-pressure. Keep fingers and hands away from the blade. Wear leather gloves. ✋?
- Take off the outer flange and pull the old saw blade off the inner flange by dropping the blade at an angle. ?
- Clean the blade flange thoroughly before fitting the new blade.
- Mount and fasten the new saw blade in reverse order.
- Refit and set the riving knife and the saw blade guard.
- Check that all safety devices are properly mounted and in good working condition before working with the saw again. ✔️
IMPORTANT! TURN THE BLADE BOLT IN THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF THE SAW BLADE. ➡️

8. Table Insert
Changing the Table Insert
- To prevent increased likelihood of injury, the table insert should be changed whenever it is worn or damaged.
- Lower the blade then remove the blade guard. ?
- Remove the countersunk head screw. ?
