permitted and may be carried out in
specific cases only after consulting
with the manufacturer.
No metal workpieces may be
machined.
The workpiece must allow to safely be
loaded, supported and guided.
Do not cut round stock without
suitable jigs or fixtures. The rotating
saw blade could turn the work-piece.
The proper use also includes
compliance with the operating and
maintenance instructions given in this
manual.
The machine must be operated only
by persons familiar with its operation,
maintenance and repair and who are
familiar with its hazards.
The required minimum age must be
observed

shoes or sandals.
Always wear the approved working
outfit

Always wear ear protection when
operating a table saw.
- safety goggles
- ear protection
- dust protection
Do not wear gloves while operating
this machine.
For the safe handling of sawblades
wear work gloves.
Observe the chapter “save operation”
in this manual.
Check the correct rotation of the
sawblade before operating the
machine.
Do not start cutting operation until
sawblade is at full speed.
Control the stopping time of the
machine, it may not be longer than 10
seconds.
Do not use side pressure to stop
rotating blade.
Insure that the work piece does not
roll when cutting round pieces.
Use suitable table extensions and
supporting aids for difficult to handle
workpieces.
Always hold and guide the workpieces
safely during machining.
Pay particular attention to instructions
on reducing the risk of kickback.
The supplied raving knife must always
be used. Adjust the space to the
sawblade to be max 5mm.
Do not perform any operation for
which the tool has not been designed
for, e.g. do not use this table saw to
cut logs or firewood.
Do not perform any operation
freehand.
Never reach around or over the saw
blade.
When ripping narrow workpieces
(smaller than 120mm) use as push-
stick or push-wood.
Push stick or push wood must stay
with the machine when tool is stored
and not in use.
Always use the mitre gauge for cutting
off.
The use of dado-blades and groove
cutters is not permissible.
Make sure that small cut off
workpieces will not be caught and
thrown away by the rising saw blade
teeth.
Remove cut and jammed workpieces
only when motor is turned off and the
machine is at a complete standstill.
Install the machine so that there is
sufficient space for safe operation and
work piece handling.
Keep the inside of the cabinet clear of
sawdust and wood chips. Make sure
the motor fan and fan cover are kept
clear of sawdust.

Wood dust is explosive and can also
represent a risk to health.
Dust form some tropical woods in
particular, and from hardwoods like
beach and oak, is classified as a
carcinogenic substance.
Always use a suitable dust extraction
device
Before machining, remove any nails
and other foreign bodies from the
work piece.
Specifications regarding the maximum
or minimum size of the work piece
must be observed.
Cut thin or thin-walled work-piece only
with fine-toothed saw blades.
Never cut several work-pieces at the
same time –and also no bundles
containing several individual pieces.
Risk of personal injury if individual
pieces are caught by the saw blade
uncontrolled.
When cutting round stock, use a
suitable jig to prevent the work-piece
from turning.
Never cut work-pieces containing the
following materials:
-Ropes, strings, cords, cables and
wires.
Do not force the power tool. It will do a
better and safer job and give you
much better service if it is used at the
rate for which it was designed.

Wood chips and sawdust can be
health hazards. Be sure to wear
personal protection gear such as
safety goggles ear- and dust
protection.
Use a suitable dust exhaust system.
The use of incorrect mains supply or a
damaged power cord can lead to
injuries caused by electricity.

complete the cut as a single
movement.
Support long and wide workpieces
with helping roller stands.
Operating hints:
Always observe the safety
instructions and adhere to the
current regulations.
Ensure that the saw blade protective
cover is in the correct position before

maximum rpm before cutting may
begin.
Attention:
The condition of the blade should be
checked before each machining
process.
Work only with a sharp and flawless
sawblade.
Never use a sawblade rated with a
blade speed lower than the machine.
Use a suitable wedge to prevent
round timber from turning under the
pressure of the cut
Use suitable table extensions and
supporting aids for difficult to handle
workpieces.
Always hold and guide the workpieces
safely during machining.
