When using the saw blades with hard metal teeth
(Carbon tipped) it is advisable to use blades with a
negative or slightly positive cutting angle. Do not use
any saw blades with deeply cut teeth. They can grip
the Top guard.

Attention:
First carefully assemble all the parts befo-
re starting work. Follow the procedure as indicated.
3
If you are not familiar with using such a machine, you
would be better to be informed first by a professional,
an instructor or by a technician.
4
Always clamp or press the workpiece firmly against
the saw guide, before you carry out the process. The
use of all possible clamping set-ups is preferable to
using your hands.
5
Important: If you are holding the workpiece by hand for
the process to be carried out, keep a minimum distan-
ce of 100 mm from the saw blade.
6
Always press the workpiece against the bench.
7
Keep the saw blade sharp and check regularly
whether it rotates freely without abnormal vibrations.
Replace the saw blade if necessary.
8
Allow the machine to rotate freely until it reaches the
maximum number of revolutions, before you start the
process.
9
Maintain the air inlets at the back and the bottom of the
bench saw machine and electric motor for a longer
machine life. Dust piles must be removed.
10 Always lock the different degree set-ups before you
start processing.
11 Only use the correct saw blade. Too small or too big
saw blades are extremely dangerous.
12 Grease the new saw blade and clean the flanges befo-
re you assemble the new blade. Then assemble the
blade in the correct direction and pull the flanges firm-
ly using the central bolt (left thread!)
13 Only use original flanges. All other types are not suita-
ble.
14 Never work without the top guard of the saw blade.
15 The moving part of the top guard must also remain

17 Always keep your hands removed from the track of the
saw blades.

de before the machine has been switched on.

21 Use support aids in order to support long workpieces.
22 Never use the machine in a dangerous environment,
where inflammable gases or fluids are present.
23 Never leave the machine unattended without first dis-
connecting it from the mains voltage.
24 If you hear abnormal noises, try to trace them or take
the machine to a recognized fitter, or repair company.
25 If a part is broken or damaged, replace it or repair it
immediately.
26 Never stand in the track of the saw blade but stand to
the left or the right of the saw bench.
27 Your hands must likewise be placed next to the track
of the saw blade.
28 Always use a push stick instead of your hands to push
the wood through the saw.
29 Always place the wood at the front of the saw bench
and then push it further back.
30 For mitring only the adjustable guide must be used
and the fence must be removed.
31 Never use the fence as a linear measure for cutting off
beams.

before you attend to the fault.

taking the following measures:
-
always use sharp saw blades;
-
do not saw too small workpieces;
-
never release the workpiece before it has been
completely pushed through the saw;
-
always adjust the guide parallel to the saw blade;
-
never remove the saw protection;
34 Before you continue sawing, ensure that you are stan-
ding firmly and that your hands are in the required
