knife must be thicker than the plate of the saw blade but less
than the kerf (this is the thickness of cut).

Dust Extraction
The panel saw has a 100mm dust extraction outlet to
the side of the machine, attach a suitable chip extractor to
the panel saw.
1. Start the saw by pressing the ‘ON’ button on the control
switch, wait until the saw is at full speed and carefully guide the
workpiece safely through.
2. Once complete, turn off the saw, wait until the saw comes
to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.
NOTE: If the blade ‘JAMS’ ‘SLAP DOWN’ the ‘Emergency Stop’
lever immediately, see fig 02 to shut down the machine.
Disconnect the saw from the mains supply and remove the
jammed workpiece. Check the blade for signs of damage eg,
missing or bent teeth. It’s good practice to run the machine
without the blade to check that no other damage has been
made. If all OK switch off the machine, disconnect from the
mains and replace the bade. Reconnect the saw to
the mains and press the ‘REST BUTTON’, to the side of the
control box, see fig 07. Continue with operation.
