Normal and prohibited use
The table saw is designed for the following work and is equiped with protective devices for these processes
only. It is not designed to work materials such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals, work different from
that stated below is prohibited.
NORMAL USE
- Ripping with the parallel saw fence with, or without the sawblade tilted and the fence in
the upright or low position;
- Right-angled or mitre cuts with the 90° fence mounted to the sliding table with tilted or
upright sawblade;
- Cross cutting workpieces using the adjustable stop on the 90° fence;
- Cutting panels or solid wood on the sliding table;
PROHIBITED USE
Following tasks are prohibited on the table saw:
- Submerged cuts by removing the riving knife, and saw guard;
- All types of cuts without using the table saw fence, the 90° fence or sliding table;
- Cutting large workpieces that exeed the machine capacity without using aids such as roller
supports or table extensions;
REMAINING RISKS
Main risks on the table saw are:
- Unintentional contact of the hand with the running sawblade;
- Workpiece kickback;
- Tipping over of the workpiece due to insufficient support;
NOISE REDUCTION
The type and condition of the sawblade is important in keeping the nois level as low as possible.
The material and the position of the safety devices are important in reducing the noise level.
Using the correct speed of the sawblade for the type of material will reduce the noise level as well;
The above does not negate the fact that extra safety equipment such as ear protection must be used.
Accoustic and dust emission levels
The values given are the emission levels; these are not necessary the levels at which the operator
can work safely.
Alhough there is a link between the emission values and the exposion level, it cannot be used in a
reliable way to determine if supplementary measures should be taken.

Transportation of the machine (fig. 1, 2)
Depending the method of transport or shipping, you will receive the machine in a crate or on
transport blocks.
Remove the sides of the crate and cover and slide the hoisting equipment under the table as
shown in fig, 1.
The machine can be lifted with a small crane, or a forklift, but severe shocks must be avoided.
Place the machine on a concrete base, and level the machine perfectly horizontally in both
directions.
The machine can also be lifted, or transported using the opening in the front side of the frame
as shown in fig, 2.
Electrical connections (fig. 3, 4)
The electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician who is able to calculate
the
exact needed wire section and caliber of fuses.
- Check that the mains voltage of your machine corresponds with the voltage
in your workshop.
- Open the electrical connection box at the back of the machine (fig, 3).
- Connect the three phases to the terminals marked L1, L2, L3 (fig,4).
- If there is a neutral conductor (blue) it is to be connected to the terminal N.
- Connect the earthing (green-yellow) to the terminal marked with the earth symbol PE.
ATTENTION:
- Check first if the spindle runs free and if all protections are mounted before starting
up the machine.
- If the rotation direction of the spindle is not correct, the leads L1, and L2 must be
exchanged.
The rotation direction of the spindle is anticlockwise: left.

Starting up the machine (fig, 5)
Turn the main switch (1) to position “1” in order to put the machine under tension, and ensure
that the Star-Delta switch (2) is set at the “Star” position.
To start up the motor push the start button (3), and after about 6 seconds switch over to the
“Delta” position.
This time delay of 6 seconds is needed to let the motor gain its full speed before switching over
to “Delta”.
When you forget to switch over from Star to “Delta”, the motor will reach its full speed but will
have no power, and can be damaged very easily.
By pushing the stop button (4) the saw motor is automatically stopped, and slowed down by the
automatic brake( only CE version machines ) within 10 seconds.
WARNING:
All fuses can be found inside the electrical cabinet, and each time this cabinet is
opened the machine must be disconnected from the main power supply.
Mounting of the sliding table (fig, 6)
Slide the guide rail onto the two brackets which are mounted at the side of the saw table, and
lock the two bolts (1).
The same two bolts (1) can be used to change the position of the guide rail relative to the saw
table, unlock and slide the guide rail in or out in function of the stroke of the sliding table
wanted.
The sliding table is to be slid onto the guide rail, and after this has be done put the guide rail
stop bracket at the front end of the guide rail, this in order to prevent the cross cut table from
falling off.
Changing sawblades (fig, 7, 7 bis)
WARNING: Before changing sawblades always disconnect the machine from the main
power supply by turning the main switch off.
Use only sawblades accordingly EN 847-1 specifications.
The wear of safety gloves when changing sawblades is highly recommended.
- Remove the table insert (3) and raise the saw arbor to its highest position, and turn the
saw arbor untill the locking pin (1) can be introduced into the bore of the saw table and
the saw arbor pulley.
- The easyest way to turn the saw arbor is to put the saw nut wrench (2) onto the nut and
turn the saw arbor using this wrench- Now unlock the nut: Warning: left hand thread.
- Before fitting the sawblade ensure that both sawblade body and flanges are clean, this
to prevent the sawblade from wobbling.
- Never forget, after the saw arbor nut has been tightened, to remove the locking pin from
the pulley before starting up the motor.
WARNING: All sawblades used on the machine must have two additional safety bores
in the sawblade body, these bores together with the two bolts in the saw flange prevent
the sawblade from coming off, when the sawblade is stopped by the brake motor.
The dimensions of these bores can be seen in fig, 7 bis.
Never remove the two safety bolts which are fixed in the saw arbor flange.
