WARNING
• The noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can dier
from the declared values depending on the ways in which the tool is
used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
• The need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are
based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use
(taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times
when the tool is switched o and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
VIBRATION
• WARNING: When using this machine the operator can be exposed
to high levels of vibration transmitted to the hand and arm. It is
possible that the operator could develop “Vibration white finger
disease” (Raynaud syndrome). This condition can reduce the
sensitivity of the hand to temperature as well as producing general
numbness. Prolonged or regular users of this machine should
monitor the condition of their hands and fingers closely. If any of the
symptoms become evident, seek immediate medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of human exposure to hand-
transmitted vibration in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 & BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
• Many factors can influence the actual vibration level during operation
e.g. the work surfaces condition and orientation and the type and
condition of the machine being used. Before each use, such factors
should be assessed, and where possible appropriate working
practices adopted. Managing these factors can help reduce the
eects of vibration:
HANDLING
• Handle the machine with care, allowing the machine to do the work.
• Avoid using excessive physical eort on any of the machines controls.
• Consider your security and stability, and the orientation of the
machine during use.

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 electrick 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 (R.C.D.) protected supply. Use of an R.C.D.
reduces the risk of electric shock
3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings [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
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating

extended only as far as the rear of the
blade.
The locking lever, as previously mentioned,
lifts and drops down to lock the rip fence
into place anywhere along the length of the
machine either side of the blade.
The rip-fence face plate can be repositioned
if required. Loosen wing nuts and slide for-
ward or backward as desired.

The rip fence guide provides a window to
see the measurement scale on the fence
rail. This can be used to aid setting the
cutting distance from the blade to the rip
fence. It is a useful guide does not supplant
the need to ‘mark out’.
5THE DUAL READ SCALE
NOTE: Move the aluminium faceplate to the opposing side of the plastic Rip Fence carrier to use on opposing side of the blade.
iNOTE: The fence rail needs to be positioned correctly to read accurately. Even when correctly adjusted the scale should not be
regarded as a useful cutting guide. the scale does not supplant the need for accurate marking out

PUSH STICK
1ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH & OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The green ON switch (I) starts the machine.
Make sure the blade guard is positioned
correctly before starting.
OPERATION
The red OFF switch (O) stops the machine. The overload protection is a feature that
protects your machine in the event of the
rated load for the machine is exceeded. If
exceeded for some reason the machine will
automatically cut out. To start the
machine again press the over load
protector as shown and the ‘ON’ button.
2STORING THE PUSH STICK 1USING THE PUSH STICK
The push stick is for safe cutting - essential for cuts
less than 300mm. This ensures that your hand is
never in close proximity to the cutting blade.
The push stick is stored on the right-hand front leg.
Simply hang it on the hex socket screw cap held in
place by the small nuts – check the what’s in the
box section.
WARNING: The Push Stick should aways be used when making cuts of less than 300mm
iNOTE: If the Push Stick becomes damaged it should be replaced.
NOTE: If the operator makes their own Push Stick, we recommend that it follows the same pattern.
WARNING: Before operating the switch make sure that the blade guard is correctly installed.
WARNING: Never start the machine until all safety checks have been carried out.
