Health & Safety Guidance
READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLY,
INSTALLATION AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
SAFE OPERATION
1. Eye Protection
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or other suitable eye protection. Wear safety glasses at all times. Everyday glasses only have impact resistant lenses.
They are not safety glasses which give additional lateral protection. It is also important to wear ear protectors when operating the table saw.
2. Keep work area clear.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents and injuries.
3. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose the machine to rain or damp conditions.
• Keep the work area well lit.
• Do not use the machine in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
5. Keep other persons away (and pets).
Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work, touch the machine, or extension cord (if used) and keep visitors away from the work area.
6. Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, locked- up place, out of reach of children.
7. Do not force the machine.
It will do the job better and work more safely if operated at the speed at which it was intended.
8. Use the right tool.
• Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
• Do not use tools for purposes other than those for which they were intended.
9. Dress properly.
• Non-slip footwear is recommended.
• Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in moving parts.
• Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
10. Use protective equipment
• Use safety glasses. (See note 1. above)
• Use face or dust shield if cutting operation creates dust.
• Use ear plugs or ear defenders when the machine is in use
11. Connect dust extraction equipment.
(See section 9, page 22)
12. Do not abuse the cord.
Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Secure work.
Ensure that your work piece is properly held before starting to cut.
15. Maintain tools with care.
• Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories.
• Inspect electric cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service facility or qualified electrician.
• Inspect extension cords (if used) periodically and replace if damaged. Always use properly rated extension cord.
16. Disconnect Machine.
When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc. disconnect the machine from the power supply.
17. Never leave machine running unattended.
Turn power off, do not leave machine until it comes to a complete stop.
18. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
ENSURE that all adjusting wrenches and keys are removed before switching the machine ‘ON’.
19. Avoid unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the “STOP” position before turning on the power from the main electricity supply. Your Record Table saw already incorporates low voltage protection. This means the machine will not automatically start up after say a power cut, unless you first reset the start switch.
20. Out-door Extension Leads.
Your machine should not be used outdoors.
21. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not use the machine when you are tired.
22. Check for damaged parts.
• Before use of the machine, it should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
• Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified person unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by a qualified person.
• Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn on and off.
23. Warning!
• The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those recommended in this instruction manual, or recommended by our Company may present a risk of personal injury.
24. Have your machine repaired by a qualified person.
• This electric machine complies with the relevant safety rules. Only qualified persons using original spare parts should carry out repairs. Failure to do this may result in considerable danger to the user.
25. This machine is designed for cutting wood.
• Do not use for cutting any material other than wood.

• Non-slip footwear is recommended.
• Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in moving parts.
• Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
2.5 Noise Emission
The measurements of noise, in the working position and during operation, were carried out under the standard ISO 7960 annex "J":
Extraction
Instantaneous acoustic pressure:
Sound power level(no load)
Sound power level(load)
Sound Pressure level(no load)
Sound Pressure level(load)
<90dB(A)
<100dB(A)
<80dB(A)
<90dB(A)
The figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required. Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce include the characteristics of the work room and the other sources of noise i.e. the number of machines in operation and other adjacent processes. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
2.6 Prescribed Use Of The Machine
This machine has been designed to cut and square heartwood, fibreboard, chipboard panels, plywood and laminated board both coated and uncoated. Materials different from those quoted above, since dissimilar to wood, are thus prohibited: the user is solely responsible for any damage caused by machining such materials. Always connect the machine to a sufficient dust extraction system. Failure to do so may invalidate the warranty.
2.7 Hazards
ATTENTION: Table saws still present risks that cannot be eliminated by the manufacturer. Therefore the user must be aware that wood working machines are dangerous if not used with care and all safety precautions adhered to.

For a mains supply of 230 V or a power rating greater than 15 A it will be necessary to increase the section of the connecting cables .
For Three Phase Models:
Connect the phase wires to the terminals R- S - T (L1 - L2 - L3) and the earth wire to the earth terminal.
On initial start-up check the direction of rotation, if it is incorrect then invert the two phase wires (for machines with 3 phase supply). Direction of rotation of machines with single-phase supply is pre-determined during production .
On completion of the installation check that the terminal box is closed correctly and that the plug points are locked.

Fence Alignment 1 (Fig.32)
Align the fence assembly in or out until parallel with the side of the blade by turning the adjustment nuts and the fence bolts accordingly. If the fixing nuts have been tightened, these will need slackening off before this adjustment can be made.
Fence Alignment 2 (Fig.33)
Check that the fence is at 90º to the table using a suitable square. If no adjustment is needed fully tighten the fence bar nuts. If adjustment is required this is achieved by raising or lowering either side of the fence rail until the fence itself is 90º to the table. Once set at 90º fully tighten all fixings.

5. Operating Procedures
5.1. Control Panel
The electric board consist of the following devices:
5.1.1 Control Functions
A - ON/OFF switch - connects and disconnects input power.
O - the machine is not powered;
I - the machine is powered.
B - Stop button.
When the button is pressed, the power is immediately cut. It is a mechanicallyoperated push-button. Reset this button by turning it clockwise.
5.1.2 Machine Start
Push the green button (A, Fig.34) to position I.
5.1.3 Machine Stop
Press the (B, Fig.34) button.
Push the red button (O) (A, Fig.34), or emergency stop (B, Fig.34).
5.2. Working With the Table Saw
For cutting veneered wood, use of the scoring blade is indispensable to prevent chipping. When the scoring blade is not needed, lower it completely underneath the table. Adjust the scoring blade as described in section 4.
5.2.1 Cutting With The Sliding Beam
When machining large panels, position the telescopic ruler and the squaring frame as per Fig. 35; with this position maximum cutting length is obtained.
1) The first cut - slide the sliding beam completely to the right;
Place the panel (C, Fig.35) against the aluminium ruler (E, Fig.35); proceed with cutting, moving the sliding beam forward against the saw blade.
CAUTION: When loading the piece onto the sliding beam, take care not to knock the saw blade.
2) Second Cut
Turn the panel by 90°, place the side previously trimmed against the guide (E,
Fig.36) and repeat the operations as in point 1.
Fig.34
B
A
Fig.35
Fig.36
3) Third Cut
Position the stop (F, Fig.37) according to the cutting width to be executed;
Turn the panel 90°
Place the trimmed side against the aluminium ruler (E, Fig.37) and against the stop (F, Fig.37)
Proceed with cutting.
4) Fourth Cut
Repeat the operations as step 3.
CAUTION: Always secure the workpiece by means of the hold down when a sliding beam is used. Always use supports when machining large panels.
Working against the fence, with the scorer on, should be carried out with the utmost care because scorer rotation is executed at the same time as workpiece feeding which causes it to be carried along.
Fig.37
5.2.2 Cutting With Rip Fence
To perform parallel cuts use fence (A, Fig.38). To position and adjust, follow the instructions in section.4. Position the sliding beam as shown and lock it with the knob (B, Fig.38). For positioning the workpiece against fence (A, Fig.38) refer to scale (C, Fig.38).
CAUTION: The end of fence (A, Fig.39) must be positioned lengthwise along an imaginary line (B) which starts half way down the blade and slips forward by
45°. This is to prevent the workpiece kicking back towards the operator. Never put hands near the scoring blade and always use a push stick. The machine is supplied with a push stick.
