1. Safety regulations
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated ( corded )
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.

3
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool 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 risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting to
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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) 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

4
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h)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.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
2. Additional Safety Instructions
For Table Saws
1) Guarding related warnings
a) 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.
b) Always use saw blade guard, riving knife
and anti-kickback device 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.
c) Immediately reattach the guarding system
after completing an operation (such as rabbeting,
dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires removal
of the guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback
device. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback
device help to reduce the risk of injury.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) For the riving knife and anti-kickback
device to work, they must be engaged in the
workpiece. The riving knife and anti-kickback device
are ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too
short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-
kickback device. Under these conditions a kickback
cannot be prevented by the riving knife and
antikickback device.
g) 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 and 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. 2) Cutting procedures
warnings
a) 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
towards the saw blade and result in serious personal
injury.

5
b) 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.
c) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the
workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip
fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the
mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence
and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the
likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
d) 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.
e) Use only the push stick provided by the
manufacturer or constructed in accordance with
the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient
distance of the hand from the saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A
damaged push stick may break causing your hand to
slip into the saw blade.
g) Do not perform any operation “freehand”.
Always use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge
to position and guide the workpiece. “Freehand”
means using your hands to support or guide the
workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge.
Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and
kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw
blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to
accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
i) 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.
j) Feed 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.
k) 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 material.
l) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the
table top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm
thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence
and create a kickback.
3) Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to
a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut
in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when
a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade
and the rip fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted
from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and
is propelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) 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 towards anyone
standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
b) Never reach over or in back of the saw
blade to pull or to support the workpiece.
Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or
kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is
being cut off against the rotating saw blade.

6
Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw
blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
d) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw
blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece
against the saw blade and create kickback.
e) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece
against the table and fence when making non-
through cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing or
resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the
workpiece in the event of a kickback.
f) Use extra caution when making a cut into
blind areas of assembled workpieces. The
protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
g) Support large panels to minimise 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 table top.
h) Use extra caution when cutting a
workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre
gauge 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.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece,
stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade
could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade
in the workpiece, centre 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.
k) 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 minimise binding, stalling
and kickback.
4) Table saw operating procedure warnings
a) Turn off the table saw and disconnect the
power cord when removing the table insert,
changing the saw blade or making adjustments to
the riving knife, antikickback device or saw blade
guard, and when the machine is left unattended.
Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Frequently clean and remove sawdust
from under the saw table and/or the dust collection
device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may
self-ignite.
e) The table saw must be secured. A table saw
that is not properly secured may move or tip over.
f) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the
table before the table saw is turned on.
Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous.
g) Always use saw blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of
control.
h) 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.
i) 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.

7
j) 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.

the arbor shaft. Be sure the dome side of the
blade washer faces the blade and that all items
are snug against the arbor housing. Make sure
the blade nut is securely tightened. Do not
overtighten.
•Lock the release lever.
•Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns
freely.
•Lower the saw blade and reinstall the table
insert.
NOTE: To replace the blade with an accessory
blade, follow the instructions provided with the
accessory.
9. Using the saw
The operation of power tools involves a certain
amount of hazard for the operator. Before
attempting regular work we recommend you get
the feel of operations using scrap lumber to
check settings. Read entire instructions before
you start to cut workpiece. Always pay attention
to safety precautions to avoid personal injury.
WARNING!
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid serious possible
injury.
9.1. ON/OFF switch
•To turn the saw on, press the green
button “I”. Wait for the blade to reach its
maximum speed of rotation before commencing
with the cut.
•To turn the machine off again, press the
red button “O”.
9.2. RESET BUTTON (OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR)
This saw comes with an overload reset button,
If the saw motor over loads, a safety
mechanism stops the motor automatically due
to motor over-loading or low voltage. To prevent
motor over-load, reduce load on motor or check
voltage.
Allow motor to cool down, then press the reset
button and restart the saw. If the saw does not
restart, wait an additional 5 minutes before
restarting.
9.3. Cutting aids
Push sticks are devices that may be used for
pushing a workpiece through the blade in any
rip cut. When making non-through cuts or
ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick,
push block, and/or feather- board so your hands
do not come within 3 inches of the saw blade.
They can be made in various sizes and shapes
from scrap wood and used in a specific project.
The stick must be narrower than the workpiece,
with a 90˚ notch in one end and shaping for a
grip on the other end.
A push block has a handle fastened by
recessed screws from the underside. Use push
blocks for narrow cuts and all non-through cuts.
NOTICE: Be sure the screws in a push block
are recessed to avoid damaging the saw or
workpiece.
9.4. To use the miter gauge The miter gauge
provides greater accuracy in angled cuts. For
very close tolerances, test cuts are
recommended. There are two miter gauge
grooves, one on either side of the blade. When
making a 90° cross cut, you can use either miter

17
gauge groove. When making a beveled cross
cut (the blade tilted in relation to the table) the
miter gauge should be located in the groove on
the right so that the blade is tilted away from the
miter gauge and your hands.
The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right
or left.
•Loosen the lock knob.
•With the miter gauge in the miter gauge
groove, rotate thegauge until the desired angle
is reached on the scale. • Re-tighten the lock
knob.
9.5. Making a rip cut
•Set the blade to the correct depth for the
workpiece.
•Position the rip fence at the desired distance
from the blade for the cut and securely lock the
handle.
•Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before
turning on the saw.
•When ripping a long workpiece, place a
support at the same height as the table surface
behind the saw for the cut work.
•Turn the saw on.
•Position the workpiece fl at on the table with
the edge flush against the rip fence. Let the
blade build up to full speed before feeding the
workpiece into the blade.
•Once the blade has made contact with the
workpiece, use the hand closest to the rip
fence to guide it. Make sure the edge of the
workpiece remains in solid contact with both
the rip fence and the surface of the table. If
ripping a narrow piece, use a push stick and/or
push blocks to move the piece through the cut
and past the blade.
•When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait
for the blade to come to a complete stop before
removing the workpiece. 9.6. Making a miter
cut
•Remove the rip fence.
•Set the blade to the correct depth for the
workpiece.
•Set the miter gauge to the desired angle and
tighten the lock knob.
•Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before
turning on the saw.
•Turn the saw on.
•Let the blade build up to full speed before
moving the workpiece into the blade.
•Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on
the miter gauge and feed the workpiece into
the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be
placed on the miter gauge lock knob and the

18
hand farthest from the blade should be placed
on the workpiece.
•When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait
for the blade to come to a complete stop before
removing the workpiece.
9.7. Making a bevel cross cut
•Remove the rip fence.
•Unlock the bevel locking knob.
•Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting.
•Lock the bevel locking knob.
•Set the blade to the correct depth for the
workpiece.
•Set the miter gauge to 0° and tighten the lock
knob.
•Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before
turning on the saw.
•Turn the saw on.
•Let the blade build up to full speed before
moving the workpiece into the blade.
•Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on
the miter gauge and feed the workpiece into
the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be
placed on the miter gauge lock knob and the
hand farthest from the blade should be placed
on the workpiece.
•When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait
for the blade to come to a complete stop before
removing the workpiece.
9.8. Making a compound (bevel& miter) cut
•Unlock the bevel locking lever.
•Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting.
•Lock the bevel locking lever.
•Set the blade to the correct depth for the
workpiece.
•Set the miter gauge to the desired angle and
