that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade
capacity of your saw is 178 mm. All the blades used
must be manufactured to comply with EN 13236.
Never use a cutting blade with a lower speed rating
than that of the tool.
■
Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are
secure.
■
Never touch blade or other moving parts during
use.
■
Never start a tool when any rotating component is
in contact with the workpiece.
■
Do not operate a tool while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
■
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
■
Use only recommended accessories listed in this
manual or addendums.
Use of accessories that
are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury.
Instructions for safe use of accessories are included
with the accessory.

and not making contact with saw or workpiece before
connecting to power supply.
SPECIAL SAFETY RULES
■ Always secure work firmly against the rip guide or
bevel block.
■ Never stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the blade.
■ Never attempt to free a stalled blade without first
turning the saw off and disconnecting the saw from
the power source.
■ If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorised
service centre to avoid risk.
■ Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
cutting tool.
■ Make sure the work area has ample lighting to see the
work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe
operation before performing any work using the saw.
■ Always turn off saw before disconnecting it, to avoid
accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply.
■ This tool should have the following markings:
y
Wear eye protection.
y
Use blade guard for every operation for which it
can be used.
y
Disconnect saw before servicing, when changing
cutting blades, and cleaning.
y
Use tool only with smooth edge cutting blades free
of openings, grooves, and teeth.
y
Replace damaged cutting blade before operating.
y
Do not fill water bath above water fill line.
■ Always use blades with correct size and shape of
arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss
of control.
■ Use only blades specified in this manual, complying
with EN 13236.
■
Save these instructions.
Refer to them frequently
and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions too.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 220-240 V,
AC only (normal household current), 50 Hz. Do not operate
this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 2,900 rpm.
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load
or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is
as important as the horsepower rating of the motor. A line
intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool
