2 Attention: First carefully assemble all the parts
before starting work. Follow the procedure as
indicated.
3 If you are not familiar with using such a machine, you
would be better to be informed first by a
professional, an instructor or by a technician.
4 Always clamp or press the workpiece firmly against
the saw guide, before you carry out the process. The
use of all possible clamping set-ups is preferable to
using your hands.
5 Important: If you are holding the workpiece by hand
for the process to be carried out, keep a minimum
distance of 100 mm from the saw blade.
6 Always press the workpiece against the bench.
7 Keep the saw blade sharp and check regularly
whether it rotates freely without abnormal
vibrations. Replace the saw blade if necessary.
8 Allow the machine to rotate freely until it reaches
the maximum number of revolutions, before you
start the process.
9 Maintain the air inlets at the back and the bottom of
the bench saw machine and electric engine for a
longer machine life. Dust piles must be removed.
10 Always lock the different degree set-ups before you
start processing.
11 Only buy suitable saw blades with a number of
revolutions of at least 6000 revolutions per minute.
12 Only use the correct saw blade. Too small or too big
saw blades are extremely dangerous.
13 Regularly inspect the saw blade for any faults.
Replace the saw blade if necessary.
14 Grease the new saw blade and clean the flanges
before you assemble the new blade. Then assemble
the blade in the correct direction and pull the flanges
firmly using the central bolt.
15 Only use original flanges. All other types are not
suitable.
16 Never work without the protective cap of the saw
blade.
17 The moving part of the protective cap must also re-
main assembled.
18 Never grease the saw blade while it is rotating.
19 Always keep your hands removed from the track of
the saw blades.
20 Never pick up the workpiece by grasping with your
hands along or behind the saw blade.
21 Ensure that the workpiece never touches the saw
blade before the machine has been switched on.
22 Never process metal or stone sorts with this
machine.
23 Use support aids in order to support long
workpieces.
24 Never use the machine in a dangerous environment,
where inflammable gases or fluids are present.
25 Never leave the machine unattended without first
disconnecting it from the mains voltage.
26 If you hear abnormal noises, try to trace them or take
the machine to a recognized fitter, or repair
company.
27 If a part is broken or damaged, replace it or repair it
immediately.
28 Never stand in the track of the saw blade but stand to
the left or the right of the saw bench.
29 Your hands must likewise be placed next to the track
of the saw blade.
30 Always use a wooden pole instead of your hands to
push the wood through the saw.
31 Always place the wood at the front of the saw bench
and then push it further back.
32 For mitring only the adjustable guide must be used
and the fence must be removed.
33 Never use the fence as a linear measure for cutting
off beams.
34 If the saw blade is locked: first switch off the machine
before you attend to the fault.
35 Avoid workpieces hitting back in your direction by
taking the following measures:
• Always use sharp saw blades.
• Do not saw too small workpieces.
• Never release the workpiece before it has been
completely pushed through the saw.
• Always adjust the guide parallel to the saw blade.
• Never remove the saw protection.
36 Before you continue sawing, ensure that you are
standing firmly and that your hands are in the
required position.
37 Never use thinners to clean the machine. Only use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
38 Do not use saw blades which are damaged or
deformed.
39 Replace table insert when worn.
40 Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer.
41 Take care that the selection of the saw blade depends
on the material to be cut.
42 Connect circular saws to a dust-collecting device
when sawing.
43 Use and correct adjustment of the riving knife
44 Use and correct adjustment of the upper saw blade
quard.
45 Take care when slotting.
SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY
WHEN YOU DISCOVER:
•A defective mains plug or mains lead;
•A defective switch.
• Overheating of the machine.
• Smoke or odeur caused by scorched insulation.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTING
INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY OF THE BENCH EXTENSIONS
• Before attaching the bench extensions, first remove
the perforated base plate (you can now also remove
and discard the motor protection materials).
• Once the bottom side is open, you can attach the
diagonal support struts to the bench saw.
• Now attach the bench extensions to the basic bench
top. Next, attach the extensions to the diagonal
support struts.
• Once all the extensions have been assembled, re-
attach the base plate (taking care that all extensions
are perfectly lined up with the basic bench top itself).
• Lastly, attach the guide rail (with ruler) to the front
edge of the bench top.
