switch). Turn the power on. Press the on button to start
the product.
MAINTENANCE
Ŷ Ensure the saw blade is completely stopped and the
power cord is removed from the power source before
conducting any maintenance or cleaning.
Ŷ If the power supply cord is damaged it must be repaired
at an authorised service centre.
Ŷ The blade has sharp edges and may also remain hot
after cutting operations. Exercise extreme caution
when cleaning an exposed blade. Wear gloves to
protect yourself from personal injury.
Ŷ Clean the saw and its accessories from dust regularly,
especially moving parts including the blade guard.
Use a hand brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust
effectively.
WARNING
Do not attempt to disassemble the blade guard assembly
for cleaning or repair. Damaged guards should not be
used. Return to an authorised service centre for repair
or replacement.
Ŷ The table saw is lubricated at the factory and should not
require additional lubrication.

parallelism, see the “Checking and setting the bevel
angle” and “Checking and setting the parallelism of the
blade to the mitre guide slots “ sections in this manual”.
CHECKING AND SETTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
NOTE:
Setting the blade to be 90° from the table results in
a 0° bevel angle.
1. Turn off the power and remove the plug from the wall
socket.
2. Pay particular attention to the saw blade tips, they are
very sharp and can cause personal injury.
3. Raise the blade and riving knife assembly to its highest
height.
4. Remove the blade guard.
5. Place the riving knife to its lower position.
6. Ensure the blade and table surface are clear of dust
and debris.
7. Place a 90° “set square” against the table surface and
the highest part of the blade. Be careful not to contact
the blade tips during this measurement as it will result
in an error. You need to align the body surface of the
saw blade.
8. There should be no gaps between the edge of the set
square and the blade or the table, in this condition
the blade is in a true vertical alignment and no further
adjustment of the blade angle is necessary.
9. If a gap exists, loosen the bevel locking knob and
carefully move the angle of the bevel whilst constantly
re-checking the gap. Once no gap exists, tighten the
bevel locking knob securely.
10. Loosen the screw on the bevel angle indicator and
adjust the clear plastic line carrier so it shows alignment
with the 0° mark. Tighten the screw.
11. Repeat this operation to check and set various angles
between 90° and 45° as you feel necessary.
CHECKING AND SETTING THE PARALLELISM OF THE
BLADE TO THE MITRE GUIDE SLOTS
1. Turn off the power and remove the plug from the wall
socket.
2. Pay particular attention to the saw blade tips, they are
very sharp and can cause personal injury.
3. Raise the blade and riving knife assembly to its highest
height.
4. Remove the blade guard.
5. Complete the checks detailed in this manual “How to
check and set the bevel angle.” Ensure the bevel angle
is securely fixed at 0°.
6. Take the mitre angle guide and fit it into one of the slots
on the table. Set the angle on the mitre angle guide
to 90°.
7. Place a steel ruler firmly against the mitre angle guide
and with the straight end of the ruler set it to touch the
body of the saw blade. You may use an accurately cut
block of wood in place of the steel ruler.

contacting the other end of the blade. The ruler or block
should have the same level of contact with the blade
as it moves across the blade body. If this is the case,
then the parallelism between blade and table slots
is accurate and no adjustment is necessary. Check
the slot on the other side of the table using the same
method.
ADJUSTING THE PARALLELISM OF BLADE TO TABLE
SLOTS
There are two bolts at the front of the saw blade and two
more at the back. These can be accessed from under the
table surface.
When these bolts are loosened, the entire blade, riving
knife and motor assembly can be moved to accurately align
the blade to the slots in the table.
