ture reference.
SIP recommends that this tool should not be modified or used for any application
other than that for which it was designed. If you are unsure of its relative applications
do not hesitate to contact us using the telephone number on the back of this user
manual, and we will be more than happy to advise you.
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL: Read and understand the owner's manual and labels
affixed to the tool. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the potential haz-
ards specific to this tool.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT: Cluttered work benches and dark areas
invite accidents. Floors must not be slippery due to oil, water or sawdust etc.
DO NOT USE THE TOOL IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS: Do not use power
tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Provide adequate space sur-
rounding the work area. Do not use in environments with a potentially explosive at-
mosphere.
KEEP CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE WORK
AREA: All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
STORE TOOLS SAFELY WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN USE: All tools should be stored
in a dry, locked cupboard wherever possible and out of the reach of children.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING / CONNECTED WHILST UNATTENDED:
Turn off the tool and disconnect it from the mains supply between jobs. Do not leave
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD: Never carry the tool by the mains lead or pull it
to remove the plug from the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil
and sharp edges. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufac-
turer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid unwanted haz-
ards.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate correctly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect its opera-
tion. A guard or other part that is damaged should be correctly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorized service agent. Do not use the tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE: And in full working order.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE: Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. All extension
cables must be checked at regular intervals and replaced if damaged. Always keep the
hand grip on the tool clean, dry and free of oil and grease.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: Consult this user manual for recom-
mended accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories. The use
of improper accessories may cause hazards and will invalidate any warranty you may
have.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES: Form a habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before every use.
SECURE THE WORKPIECE: Use clamps or a vice to hold the work-piece . This frees
up both hands to operate the tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Do not use the tool or attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL: It will do the job better and more safely at the rate
which it was designed.
DO NOT OPERATE POWER TOOLS IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES: Do not use
the tool in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, dust or other combustible sources.
Power tools may create sparks which can ignite the dust or fumes.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR USE IT IN WET CONDITIONS: Water
entering a power tool will greatly increase the risk of electric shock.
HAVE YOUR TOOL REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The tool is in accor-
dance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by
qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to the user.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use only the blade flange specified for this tool.
2. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flange (especially the installing surface) or
bolt. Damage to these parts could result in blade breakage.
3. Make sure that the table base is properly secured so it will not move during op-
eration.
4. For your safety; remove the chippings and work debris etc. from the table top and
from inside the extraction port before each operation.
5. Avoid cutting nails / screws etc; Remove all obstructions from the work-piece be-
fore cutting.
6. Make sure the arbor lock is released before switching on the saw.
7. Be sure that the blade does not come into contact with the base when the blade is
in the lowest position.
8. Hold the handle firmly.
9. Do not perform any operation freehand. The work-piece must be secured firmly
against the base and guide fence with the clamp during all operations; Using your
hand may cause severe injury.
10. Keep hands out of path of saw blade, never reach around saw blade.
11. Make sure the blade is clear of the work-piece before the switch is turned on.
12. Before making the first cut using the saw, let it run for a while; Watch for vibra-
tion or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade. Ad-
just or replace as necessary.
13. Allow the blade to run up to full speed before cutting.
14. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
15. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the ON position.
16. Wait for the saw blade to stop completely and remove from mains supply before
servicing or adjusting tool.
17. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don't
be lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.
18. Use of improper accessories such as abrasive wheels may cause damage to the
saw and surrounding area as well as increasing the risk of injury.
19. Turn off the saw and wait for it to complete stop before moving work-piece or
changing settings.
20. To reduce the risk of injury, return, carriage to the full rear position after each
crosscut operation.
21. Do not modify the saw to do tasks other than those intended.
CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual
can not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied.

Caution: Use, other than that specified is not permitted.

12
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connecting to the power supply:
This sip “pro” table saw is supplied without a plug fitted; due to the fuse rating (16
amps) the saw is not classed as a “domestic item”. A plug with a rating of at least 16
amps (and an adequate supply) will have to be fitted prior to use, alternatively the saw
could be hard wired into an adequate supply. Each time you use your saw inspect the
cable and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have the
tool inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person.
The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:
Yellow / green Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal
marked with N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown, must be con-
nected to the terminal, which is marked L or coloured red. The wire which is coloured
yellow / green should be connected to the terminal which is coloured the same or
marked
Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable in
the cord grip carefully.
Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the
correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always use
a 16A fuse.
Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply;
ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating (16
amps).
Note: The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that it
is of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.
Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the
plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse (16 amp). If in
doubt consult a qualified electrician.

Adjusting the mitre gauge angle:
The mitre gauge has quick set stops at 0° and +/- 45° with the mitre gauge stop pin
and adjustable stop screws. The stop screws are factory set for accuracy but after time
and use, the gauge may need to be re-set, this can be achieved by the following:-
•Loosen the angle lock knob and pull out the stop pin.
•rotate the mitre gauge until the stop pin rests against the 0° stop screw.
•Place a 90° square against the mitre gage rod and the mitre gauge base.
•If the rod is not square, Loosen the lock nut of the 0° stop screw 8 mm wrench.
•Adjust the 0° stop screw until a true 90° angle is achieved.
•Tighten the lock nut to secure, and adjust the angle pointer to read 0°.
•Adjust the plus and minus 45° stop screws using a 45° triangle and the steps
above.
