WEAR THE CORRECT CLOTHING: Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewellery, which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommend-
ed. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Roll long sleeves up above the el-
bow.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION: Wear CE approved safety goggles at all
times, normal spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. A
face or dust mask should be worn if the operation is dusty and ear protectors (plugs or
muffs) should be worn, particularly during extended periods of operation.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK: When working with power tools, avoid contact
with any earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). It is advisable
wherever possible to use an RCD (residual current device) at the mains socket.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate a
power tool when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY: When not in use, before servicing and
when changing accessories such as blades etc.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before con-
necting the tool to the mains supply.
NEVER LEAVE THE SAW RUNNING / CONNECTED WHILST UNATTENDED: Turn off the saw and
disconnect it from the mains supply between jobs. Do not leave saw until it comes to a
complete stop.
DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD: Never carry the saw 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 edg-
es. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid unwanted hazards.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the saw, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate correctly and per-
form 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 operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be correctly repaired or replaced by an authorised
service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switch-
es replaced by an authorised service agent. Do not attempt to operate 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 perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. All extension cables
must be checked at regular intervals and replaced if damaged.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: Consult this user manual for recommended ac-
cessories. 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 etc. are removed from the saw before every use.
DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Do not use the saw or an attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
DO NOT FORCE THE SAW: It will do the job better and more safely at the rate which it was

Use only the blades specified for this saw.
Before each use; Ensure that the blade is fully secure.
For your safety; remove the chippings and work debris etc. from the table top and from
inside the extraction port before each operation.
Make sure that all keys and wrenches are removed before switching on the saw.
Keep hands out of path of the saw blade.
Make sure the blade is clear of the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Allow the saw to run up to full speed before starting a cut.
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
Wait for the saw blade to stop completely and remove from mains supply before ser-
vicing or adjusting the saw.
Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don't be lulled
into a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.
Use of improper accessories may cause damage to the saw and surrounding area as
well as increasing the risk of injury.
Do not modify the saw to do tasks other than those intended.
Do not cut workpieces too small to hold by hand outside the blade guard.
Maintain a steady grip, avoid awkward positions and do not allow your hand to be in
direct line of the cut.
Make sure the blade is installed with the teeth pointing downward at the front of the saw
to avoid lifting of the workpiece.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the table.
Do not feed the work too quickly while cutting, only feed at a rate so that the blade
can perform the cut without overloading the saw.
Be very cautious when cutting material of uneven cross section such as mouldings,
ensure the material is laying flat and firmly on the table.
This table saw is for indoor use only.
Clear the work table of all objects (tools, scraps, rulers etc.) except the workpiece be-
fore turning the saw on.
When cutting a large piece of material, support it at the height of the table with rollers
or similar.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be sawn.
Use the push stick to the side of the blade line to push the workpiece securely through

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
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
replace the fuse with the same value as the original.
Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the
plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt
consult a qualified electrician.
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.
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.
This table saw is double insulated; This means the operator is separated from
the tool's electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insulation.
This table saw is fitted with a standard UK type 230V ~ plug. Before using the tool in-
spect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visi-
ble have the tool inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary
to replace the plug a heavy duty impact resistant plug would be preferable.
The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:
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 connected to the terminal, which is
marked L or coloured red.
Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable
in the cord grip carefully.
19
Warning! Always ensure that the saw is turned off and that the plug is disconnected
from the mains supply before carrying out any adjustments, repairs or maintenance.

hold the table in place.
Line up the support struts (22) as shown, and secure one end to the table exten-
sion (8) with the bolts (19), spring washers (20a), washers (20b) and nuts (20).
The opposite end should be secured once the leg set has been fitted.
Repeat this process for the opposite table extension.
DANGER! Always ensure that the saw is turned off and that the plug is disconnect-
ed from the mains supply before carrying out any adjustments, repairs or mainte-
nance.
Unpack the table saw and check it for damage which may have occurred in
transit.
The saw should be set up where it can stand firmly on a flat level surface.
All covers and safety devices have to be correctly fitted and in full working order
before the machine is switched on.
The saw blade should run freely.
Place the main saw assembly, table face down, onto a flat level surface.
Note: Place the saw onto cardboard, or similar, to reduce the risk of dam-
age and ensure that the blade is in its lowest position.
Note: The bolts should not be tightened fully at this point as some adjust-
ments will be required.

USING THE RIP-FENCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
The Rip-Fence (15) has an auxiliary extrusion (27) which has two different guide faces
which should be set according to the thickness of the material to be cut.
The extrusion (27) should be used according to Fig.14 for thin material (under 25mm
workpiece thickness), and according to Fig.15 for thick material (over 25mm work-
piece thickness).
Loosen the wing nuts (28) in order to turn the extrusion.
The extrusion can be removed and replaced in the correct orientation on either the
left or right side of the rip-fence depending on the type of cut and size of workpiece.
There are 2 scales on the rip-fence guide rail (14) depending on which orientation the
extrusion is set to.
In order to avoid “jamming” of the workpiece; the auxiliary extrusion (27) is longitudinal-
ly adjustable.
A Rule of thumb: The rear end of the extrusion is connected to an imaginary line,
which begins approximately at the middle of the saw blade, and runs towards the rear
of the saw at an angle of 45°.
Set the rip-fence to the required cutting width.

ON/OFF (NVR) SWITCH
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
Once fully assembled and adjusted, and all safety precautions have been followed;
the saw is ready to be run.
Connect the mains plug to an appropriate power supply.
To start the saw; press the green (I) button.
To stop the saw; press the red (0) button.
Your SIP 10” Table Saw is fitted with a safety NVR (No Volt Release) switch (11). This
means that if power is cut to the saw (such as in a power failure); the motor will not
start to run once the power is returned without the operator following the above in-
structions to restart the saw.
Turn the height adjust handle (12) to set the blade (3) to the required cutting height.
- Anticlockwise: Lower cutting height.
- Clockwise: Higher cutting height.
SETTING THE CUTTING ANGLE
Loosen the angle lock (13) by turning it anti-clockwise.
Push the angle/height adjust hand-wheel (12) in so that the gears mesh and turn
the hand-wheel (12) until the desired angle is achieved.
Release the hand-wheel (12) and retighten the angle lock (13).
Note: After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out a trial cut in
order to check the set settings are correct.

FITTING THE LEG SET
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Line up the square holes on each leg (16) with the square tabs on the main saw.
Fit and loosely tighten the bolts (19), spring washers (20a) and the washers (20b)
together with the opposite end of the support struts (22) onto the side of the main
saw (Fig.6).
Fit and loosely tighten the bolts (19), spring washers (20a) and the washers (20b) to
the front and rear of the main saw.
Repeat this process for the opposite side of the saw.
Push the 4 rubber feet (16a) onto the bottom of each leg (Fig.6.1).
Fit the long braces (17) to the left and right sides of the leg set (Fig.7) and secure in
place using the bolts (19), spring washers (20a), washers (20b) and the nuts (20).
Repeat the operation with the short braces (18) to the front and rear of the leg set.
Fit the 2 stability brackets (16b) to the back of each rear leg (Fig7.1) and secure in
place using the bolts (19), spring washers (20a), washers (20b) and nuts (20).

14
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Once the side extensions and the leg set are loosely fitted; Turn the saw over onto
a firm level surface.
Ensure that the main saw table is as level as possible.
With a straight edge, or similar, set the extension tables level with the main saw bed
and proceed to tighten all of the nuts and bolts etc.
SETTING THE RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife (6) is a safety device that sits behind, and moves relative to the saw
blade to, when set correctly, help eliminate kickback. To set the riving knife:
Set the saw blade (3) to the max. cutting depth, bring it to the 0° position and lock
it (see operating instructions).
Loosen and remove the screw (23) from the table insert (2) using a Phillips screw-
driver, and remove the table insert.
The distance between the saw blade (3) and the riving knife (6) must be between
3mm & 5mm (Fig. 9).
Loosen the mounting bolt (24) in order to adjust the riving knife (6) until the right dis-
tance is achieved.
Retighten the mounting screw (24) and refit and secure the table insert (2).
Slot

Note: Do not over tighten the wing-nut; the guard should move freely and
drop over the blade under its own weight.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
FITTING THE BLADE GUARD
Loosely fit the bolt (25) & wing-nut to the blade guard (4).
Slide the bolt (25) into the slot on the riving knife (6) and push back (Fig.10 & 11).
Tighten the wing-nut to hold in place.
Push one end of the suction hose (5) onto the suction adapter (26) and the oppo-
site end to the connecting piece of the blade guard (4) (Fig.12).
