A Table Saw or Sawbench Probably the most
commonly used piece of large woodworking
equipment. The saw consists of a large cast table and
circular saw blade, mounted on an arbor. The blade is
driven indirectly by an electric motor. The blade
protrudes through the surface of a the table and is
adjusted to the depth required.
Arbor: The metal shaft extending from the drive
mechanism on which the saw blade is mounted.
Bevel Cut: By tilting the arbor and saw blade to an
angle between 0° and 45°, a beveled cut can be made
to the edge of a workpiece.
Blade Guard: The metal or plastic safety device that
mounts over the saw blade to reduce the risk of
accidental operator contact with the stationary or
spinning saw blade.
Crosscut or Docking Cut: The cutting action in
which a cross-cut fence or mitre guage is used to cut
across the shortest side of the workpiece.
Dado Blade: A special blade or set of stacked blades
that are used to cut wide grooves and rabbets
(rebates).
Dado Cut: The cut made by a Dado Blade.
Featherboard: A flexible safety device used to keep
the workpiece against the rip fence and/or against the
table surface.
Kerf: The maximum thickness of a saw blade, or the
cut or gap in the workpiece after the saw blade cuts
through it.
Kickback: When the workpiece is accidentally
propelled back towards the operator at a high rate of
speed.
Non-Through Cut or Trench Cut: An advanced
sawing operation that requires the removal of the
blade guard and riving knife. Dado and rabbet
(Rebate) cuts are considered Non-Through (Trench)
Cuts. Any cut where the blade does not cut all the
way through the top of the material is reffered to as a
Non-Throught (Trench) Cut.
Parallel: When two different parts are equal distance
apart at every point along two given lines or planes
(i.e. the rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw
blade)
Perpendicular: Intersecting lines or planes that and
form right angles (i.e. the blade is perpendicular to the
table surface).
Push Stick or Push Block: Safety devices used to
push the workpiece through a cutting operation, while
keeping the operator's hands away from the blade.
Used most often when rip cutting thin workpieces or
when working close to the blade.
Rabbet or Rebate: Cutting operation that creates an
L-shaped channel along the edge of the workpiece.
Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which a fixed fence is
used to help perform a cut, usually along the length of
the workpiece.
Riving Knife (Splitter): The metal plate located
behind the blade that maintains the kerf opening in the
wood during a cut. This stops the material from
binding on the blade causing burning and re-saw
damage to the cut.
Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,
parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).
Through Cut: A basic sawing operation in which the
workpiece is completely sawn through. Crosscuts or
Docking cuts are usually Through Cuts.
Workpiece: The workpiece is generally the usable or
good part of your cut work. The is refered to so as to
make a point of difference with the offcut waste piece.

1SAFETY G ARDS. Always use the blade guard,
splitter, or riving knife on “through-sawing”
operations. The blade cuts completely through
the top of the workpiece on through-sawing
operations. Always use a riving knife for non-
through cuts.
13 C TTING CORRECT MATERIAL. This machine is
intended for cutting natural and man-made wood
products, and some plastics. this machine is NOT
designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc. Cutting
these materials with a table saw may lead to injury.
2KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback. Kickback
happens when the workpiece is thrown toward
the operator at a high rate of speed. Until you
have a clear understanding of kickback and how
it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw.
14 EXPERIENCING DIFFIC LTIES. If at any time you
are experiencing difficulties performing the intended
operation, stop using the machine! Contact our

sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Fol-
low instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories.
4WORKPIECE CONTROL. Make sure the
workpiece is stable on the table and is supported
by the rip fence or the mitre gauge during cutting
operations. DO NOT perform any cutting
operations free-hand.
16 MAKE S RE G ARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK
CORRECTLY BEFORE SING MACHINERY.
5SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Use push sticks, hold-
downs, featherboards, and othe devices to
increase cutting safety.
17 REMOVE ADJ STING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Aligning Fence Assembly
Align the fence to the table, ensuring the fence runs
parallel to the mitre track. Also check that the face of
the fence is 90° to the top of the table, and runs
parallel to the table from front to back. See Fig 27.
Use the screw adjusters on the fence assembly to
adjust this fence to mitre track, and 90° alignment. See
Figs 28 - 29.
The screw on the underside rear of the fence
assembly will adjust the fence to table parallel.
Make sure the fence assembly slides along the rail,
and the fence lever lock still operates correctly, after
these adjustments are made.
The supplied self adhesive tape can now be applied to
the front fence rail.
Slide the fence assembly right up against the edge of
the fitted saw blade. You may need to lift the blade
guard up, to allow the fence to rest against the edge of
the blade. Do not push the fence so hard as to deflect
the blade, but so it just rest against the teeth. The
blade should still be able to turn slightly, just skimming
the fence face
Once you are happy that this is your zero position,
lock the fence assembly and carefully apply the tape
to the front fence rail, aligning the zero position of the
tape, with the line on the fitted sight glass, mounted to
the fence assembly.
The same technique can be used, by measuring a set
distance from the blade teeth edge (say 8 1/8” or
206mm as shown at right in Fig. 30), to the fence face,
locking the fence assembly and then mounting the
tape so it reads the same distance. Be aware that
changing your blade may slightly alter your zero
position for your fence. Always check your blade to
fence distance to ensure accuracy, and move the
sightglass, to re-calibrate your fence.

Pre-Run Check
Before you begin to use your Table Saw, you should
give it a thorough inspection, making sure you ask
yourself the following questions.
1. Is the blade mounted correctly?
2. Is the saw stable?
3. Is it wired properly?
4. Is your electrical system properly configured?
5. Have you checked your workpiece for obvious
defects?
6. Is the guard assembly installed and funtional?
7. Have you checked the saw blade clearance when it
is adjusted to varying angles and depths?
8. Have you read all the warnings and directions
regarding the operation of this machine?
9. Have you fitted adequate dust extraction?
10.Have you ensured the work area, and the saw table
top, saw blade and entire work area are free from any
loose items, offcuts or obstructions?
Test Run
1.. Face the table saw and stand to the left of the
blade path.
2. With one finger on the START button and one
finger on the STOP button, turn the saw on. Be ready
to turn the saw off in case of a mishap.
3. Watch and listen to the saw. Note whether there
are any unusual sounds or excessive vibrations.
4. If anything appears abnormal, immediately turn off
the saw, unplug it, identify and fix the problems. If a
problem exists that is beyond the scope of this
manual, contact your dealer.
5. If the saw is behaving normally, turn it off and
prepare to make a cut according to the instructions
outlined in the following section.

NOTICE
The following section was designed to give
instructions on the basic operations of this table saw.
However, it is in no way comprehensive of every table
saw application. It is strongly recommended that you
read books, trade magazines, or get formal training to
maximize the potential of your table saw and to
minimize the risks.
Mitre Gauge Operation
1. Operate Mitre gauge by loosening lock knob(A),
pull out spring loaded plunger (B) and rotate mitre
gauge body (C) to desired angle. See example at
right.
2. Release plunger and tighten lock knob.
Note: Always make test cuts. Do not rely solely on
mitre gauge indictor marks.
Blade Raising and Tilting
Mechanism
To raise or lower the saw blade, loosen the lock knob
or lever (mounted in the middle or behind the blade
height adjusting handwheel) and turn the handwheel
on the saw front until desired height is reached.
Tighten lock knob/lever.
To tilt the saw blade, loosen the lock knob or lever
(mounted in the middle or behind the blade angle
adjusting handwheel) and turn the handwheel on the
saw front until desired angle is reached. Tighten lock
knob/lever.
Rip Fence Operation
Release the clamping pressure of the fence by raising
the fence lock lever. Move fence to desired position by
sliding the fence assembly. Lock the fence into
position by pushing down on the fence locking lever,
until the clamping press is sufficiant to prevent the
fence assembly from moving. Adjustments can be
made to both the alignment and clamping pressure on
the fence assembly, please refer to the assembly
section.
ON/OFF Switch
On and off switches are normally thermally protected.
If the saw motor is overloaded, or a momentary inter-
ruption of electrical current is sensed, the saw will shut
off. Allow a few minutes for the saw to cool down and
reset by pushing the off button.
Using extension cords can cause a loss in power to
your machine. It is best if the saw is plugged directly
into an outlet on a dedicated circuit.

Blade Selection
Choosing the correct blade for the job is essential for
the safe and efficient use of your table saw. Ignoring
this important step could result in damage to the saw
and serious injury to the operator. Below are the most
common saw blades and their uses.
1. Rip Blade: Used for cutting with the grain. Typically,
10" rip blades have between 18-40 teeth and large
gullets to allow for large chip removal. SEE FI . 19.
2. Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across the
grain.10" cross-cut blades have between 60-80 teeth.
This style of blade is also refered to as a combination
blade or finishing blade.
3. Combination Blade: Used for cutting with and cross
the grain. A compromise between a rip blade and a
cross-cut blade, a 10" combination blade will typically
have between 40-80 teeth.
4. Thin-kerf: Most types of saw blades are available in
a thin-kerf style. Designed primarily to minimize stock
waste, thin-kerf blades can be used in conjunction with
a blade stabilizer to reduce blade wobble. Note: Many
blade guards/splitters are thicker than many thin-kerf
blades. Make sure that the stock will pass by the
guard/splitter before beginning a cut.
5. Dado Blades: There are two types of dado blades:
stack and wobble. Stack dadoes involve more setup
time, but they provide a superior finish cut when
compared to a wobble dado.
This section on blade selection is by no means
comprehensive.
Always follow the saw blade manufacturer's
recommendations to assure safe and efficient
operation of your table saw.

Crosscutting
Crosscutting generally refers to cutting across the
grain of the wood. In wood products without grain (i.e.
MDF, particleboard) or in prodct with multiple grain
directions (i.e. Plywood), crosscutting simply refers to
cutting across the width of the stock.
Crosscutting requires the use of the mitre gauge to
position and guide the work. Place the work against
the mitre gauge and advance both the mitre gauge
and work toward the saw blade, as shown in . The
mitre gauge may be used in either table slot, however,
most operators prefer the left groove for average work.
When bevel cutting (blade tilted), use the table groove
that does not cause interference of your hand or mitre
gauge with the saw blade guard.
Crosscutting may also be performed using the mitre
gauge in the leading position, where it is reversed in
the mitre track and the stock is held in place against
the face of the mitre gauge. This may allow wider
crosscutting (depending on design of your particular
table saw).
Use push blocks where possible to help control our
work piece, and increase safety.
To make a crosscut using the mitre gauge:
1. Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly
against the mitre gauge and the table. ( one of the
rules in running a saw is that you never hang onto or
touch a free piece of work.)
2. Hold the supported piece, not the free piece that is
cut off. The feed in crosscutting continues until the
work is cut in two, then the mitre gauge and work are
pulled back to the starting point.
3. Before pulling the work back it is good practice to
give the work a little sideways shift to move the work
slightly away from the saw blade.
4. Never pick up any short length of free work from
the table while the saw is running. A smart operator
never touches a cut-off piece unless it is atleast a foot
long. Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when
crosscutting. Never use the mitre gauge in
combination with the rip fence
