SAFETY
The following is a list of safety precautions you must consider when using a Table saw:
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE POWER TO THE TABLE SAW
WHEN MAKING REPAIRS OR ADJUSTING BLADES AND GUARDS.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO READ THROUGH THE MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED.
• Eye and ear protection are required when operating a
Table saw. Dust extraction & respiratory PPE are highly
recommended.
• Make sure the blade is not in contact with the material
when you start the saw.
• Never leave the machine unattended when it is running.
• Do not wear gloves, loose clothing, jewellery, or any
dangling objects when operating a Table saw.
•Keep the table top & surrounding work area free from
excessive dust and debris to help prevent slipping or
tripping.
• Do not allow children to operate the machine.
• At all times all guards must be in place and fully
operational. If a guard seems to be missing or
damaged, adjust, replace or repair immediately.
• Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do
not fall or lean against the blade or other moving parts.
Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any
machine operation.
• A riving knife MUST be used at all times when
performing through cuts and must be positioned
correctly.
Kickback
• The most common accidents among table saw users,
according to statistics, can be linked to kickback, the
high-speed ejection of timber from the table saw that
can strike the operator. Kickback can also result in the
operator’s hands making contact with the blade.
• Ensure that the Rip fence is correctly aligned to the
blade to help prevent the risk of timber kick back.
• Never perform “free hand” cuts, a rip fence or mitre
cross cut fence should always be used.
Kickback Prevention
• Never pull the timber through the blade from the rear
of the machine, always push through from the front.
• Tips to avoid the most common causes of kickback:
• Disconnect the power to the Table saw when making
repairs or adjusting blades and guards.
• Make sure the riving knife is always aligned with the
blade. A workpiece can bind or stop the flow of the cut
if the riving knife is misaligned, and result in kickback.
• Hands and fingers must be kept clear of the blade,
always use push sticks when feeding smaller pieces into
the blade.
• Use a riving knife during every cut. The riving knife
maintains the kerf in the workpiece, which will reduce
the chance of kickback.
• Use only the recommended blade size and type for the
machine - see page (20) for recommendations.
• Never attempt freehand cuts.
• The workpiece must be fed parallel to the blade,
otherwise kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip
fence or mitre gauge to support the workpiece.
• Ensure all blades are sharp and in good condition.
• Never cut pieces smaller than the table insert size.
• Make sure that the rip fence is parallel to the blade. If
not, the chances of kickback are very high. Take the time
to check and adjust the rip fence.
• Long material should be supported at the same height
as the saw table.
• To avoid contact with a coasting blade, do not reach into
the cutting area until the blade comes to a full stop.
• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime you stop
feeding a workpiece that is in the middle of a cut, the
chance of binding, resulting in kickback, is greatly
increased.

SAFETY
Tips for Kickback Protection
Kickback can happen even if precautions are taken to
prevent it. Listed below are some tips to protect you if
kickback does occur:
• Never place your hand behind the blade & never pull the
timber through the cut. If kickback occurs, your hand will
be pulled into the blade.
• Stand to the side of the blade when cutting. An ejected
workpiece usually travels directly in front of the blade.
• Use a push stick to keep your hands further away from
the moving blade. If a kickback occurs, the push stick will
most likely take the damage that your hand would have
received.
• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. Your eyes and face
are the most vulnerable part of your body.

SET UP/ LEVELLING / FINE TUNING
Always follow the step by step procedure in the
instruction manual. A poorly set up saw will not perform
to its full potential and may be dangerous to use.
Fig 55-56
Three crucial things when setting up any table saw
or panel saw•A
ll extension tables are flat and level
with the main saw table
• All rip fences are in line with the blade
• Sliding tables are set slightly above (0.5mm max)
the level of the main saw table.
In the set up of most machinery including tables saws,
two tools that you will need to use are a 6” engineers
square and a minimum 36”/910mm straight edge, without
these toolbox essentials it is difficult to set the machine
up accurately.
1. Firstly please ensure that the table saw is stable on the
floor & doesnt rock or wobble, adjustment can be made
via the feet located on the inside of the machine. You will
need to remove both side panels to do this, see fig 53.
Fig 53
4. Move the straight edge to the front of the saw then
use a soft face clamp and a small piece of timber to align,
the grub screws to level then tighten in place, see fig 57.
Repeat the last process at the rear of the tables, see fig 58.
Fig 57-58
Right Hand Extension Table 2. Once you have loosely bolted on the cast iron R/H
extension table , align the front face to the main saw
table,use a 36”/910mm straight edge or use the
aluminium sub fence supplied with the saw, see fig 54.
Fig 54
3. Place the straight edge in the middle of both tables
across the seam, use a soft face mallet to tap the
extension table up or down to align, then use the
grub screws to level. Then tighten the central 2 bolts,
see fig 55-56.

Rear Extension Table -
Fig 62-63-64
5. Loosely Attached the rear extension table, then using
the straight edge move the table up or down to align the
main saw table, lock in place when aligned, see fig 59.
Fig 59
6. The table should be set at the same height as the
main saw table or very slightly lower (1mm max). This
table should not be set higher than the saw table as it
will prevent smooth feed through of timber.
7. Level the table insert to the main saw table by
adjusting the grub screws on the underside of the
table insert, see fig 60-61.

Rail
Fence Rails & Fence 1. Ensure that the fence rail bracket is attached to the
front of the tables. Slightly undo the hex cap screws
underneath, measure the gap between the fence rail &
table edge to ensure that this is the same end to end,
see fig 62-63-64.
2. The mounting holes in the rear fence rail are slotted to
allow movement up or down. Ensure that the bolts are
loosened slightly then lift the rail up making sure that the
fence is around 3-4mm above the saw table, see fig 65.
3-4mm
3. The T style rip fence has complete adjustment to align
it to the saw blade / mitre fence slot & also to square it to
the table.
4. Firstly slide the fence over to the mitre fence slot, align
it then lock it off, see fig 66. If the fence seems out
of line then simply adjust the left hand or right hand grub
screws to align. You can also use these grub screws to
take out any movement (wobble) in the fence, see fig 67.
Fig 66-67

SET UP/ LEVELLING / FINE TUNING
5. To square the fence to the table firstly slide the sub
fence on at its high fence position, move it over towards
the blade then with the fence locked check for square,
see fig 68.
6. Adjustments are made by moving the grub screws on
the top of the fence up or down, see fig 69.
7. Finally with the sub fence still in the high position slide
the fence over until it makes very light contact with the
blade. Then undo the 2 pozi screws to move the scale to
read at zero, see fig 70.

Aligning / Adjusting the Riving Knife 1. It is important to ensure that the riving knife ( K ) is
positioned correctly. The riving knife should be inline with
the blade & between 3 - 8mm away from the edge of the
blade, see fig 73-74.
2. To adjust the riving knife slightly undo the 2 bolts, this
will allow up & down movement to gain the 3 - 8mm
distance from the blade and will also allow for alignment
adjusting via the four grub screws, see fig 75.

Squaring the Blade to the Table 1. With the blade raised up to its highest point and not
tilted, offer a square up to the right hand side of the blade
plate avoiding the tips, see fig 71.
2. If the blade seems out of square a simple adjustment
can be made by moving the stop collar located inside the
machine on the threaded bar, see fig 72.

GENERAL USE / OPERATION
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT
THE POWER TO THE TABLE SAW WHEN
MAKING REPAIRS OR ADJUSTING BLADES
AND GUARDS.
Fig 77
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO READ THROUGH
THE MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED.
1. Before you begin to use your Table saw, you will need
to establish that the machine and the blade you are
intending to use are suitable for the material you are
going to be cutting.
3. Does the machine have enough capacity to cope
with the size of material you are cutting?
2. Slide the sub fence forward so the end of the sub fence
is just beyond the mid way point of the blade, see fig
78.
3. Adjust the blade height to match the timber thickness
- top of the blade around 20 - 25mm above the timber,
see fig 79.
4. Always ensure that the blade guard & riving knife
are fitted.
Fig 78-79
2. Check the sharpness of the blade. Is it too fine or too
coarse?
See Blade Selection Info on page…. 20
Rip Cuts - Cutting Down the Grain
1. P
osition the rip fence to the right of the saw blade and
set the rip fence for desired width of cut using the scale
on the front rail, or measure the distance between the
R/H side of the blade teeth and the fence, see fig 76-77.
Fig 76
4. Standing to one side of the machine press the green
button & allow the machine to run up to full speed, see
fig 80.
5. Use the left hand to hold the timber against the
fence. Use the right hand to push the material down &
through the saw, see fig 81.

GENERAL USE / OPERATION
Fig 80-81
Fig 83-84
6. Use a push stick for all cuts that will bring your hands
within 250mm of the blade.
Bevel Cuts -
7. Position the right hand so it is NOT in direct line with
the saw blade. Remove the hand holding the stock
down as it approaches the saw blade and use a push
stick to guide the last 300mm of cut through the blade,
see fig 82.
Fig 82
1. Make sure the timber is planed flat, square, and with
parallel edges. Any warp, deviation from square, or an
angled edge, can lead to blade burn or to the timber
being lifted from the table and risking kickback.
2. Using the tilt handle on the side of the machine set the
over to the required angle, the riving knife & blade guard
will tilt with the blade, set the blade height to clear the
timber by around 20-25mm, see fig 85.
Fig 85
8. Always push the workpiece completely past the blade
at the end of a cut to reduce the possibility of kickback,
see fig 83.
9. When ripping long boards use a support roller before
& after the cut to support the workpiece as it comes
through the saw, see fig 84.

Crosscuts are usually made with a medium to fine tooth
blade.
See Blade Selection Info on page…. 20
1. Make sure the saw guard and riving knife are in place
when crosscutting.
2. Always use the mitre gauge or sliding table when
crosscutting, do not make crosscuts free hand!, see fig 92.
Fig 92-93
Fig 96
3. Most workers prefer to use the left table slot for the
mitre gauge when crosscutting, see fig 93.
4. Adjust the blade height to match the timber thickness
- top of the blade around 20 - 25mm above the timber,
see fig 94.
5. Select the desired cutting angle & ensure that all is
locked in place, see fig 95.
6 Hold the workpiece against the mitre fence with the
left hand and use the right hand to advance the mitre
gauge and material through the cut, see fig 96.
7. Provide support for any material which extends
beyond the edge(s) of the saw table.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Table saws & panel saws are relatively simple machines, with all machinery regular cleaning, servicing & the use of
extraction (all preventative maintenance) are essential to get the best from your saw.
‘My table saw won’t cut straight”
•
Check that your fence is in line with the
blade, also check that the blade is square
to the table. Information on how to correct
this will be found in this instruction
manual.

•
“My saw slows down
when cutting”
“Why am I getting a lot of
splintering along the cut edge”
The blade is probably blunt or too coarse,
if a smoother cleaner cut is required then
change the blade for one with more teeth.
Lowering the blade height to about 25mm
above the timber can also help.
Slow your feed speed down & check that
the fence is in line with the blade as back
cutting can occur.
“Excessive vibration ”
•
Blade may be blunt or too fine for the
thickness of material.
verfeeding, slow down the feed through
O
the blade.
•
•
•
•
Drive belt may be loose or worn.
Check that your fence is in line with the
blade.
Ensure that the saw is not running on a
long extension lead.
Motor capacitor may be faulty.
The blade may be damaged, check the
blade , replace if any missing teeth or burn
marks are seen.
Check that the blade is fitted correctly.
Check fence to blade alignment, adjust as
necessary.
The saw is not positioned on a flat stable
floor surface.
The timber may not stable and sat flat
on the table, you may be getting board
bounce, choose a flatter surface.
MAINTENANCE
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
THE MAINS SUPPLY.
• Check blades for ware or damage
• Clean inside the machine, slides, threads,
Preventative maintenance is crucial if you want your
machine to perform to its full potential. I.E. Use good
quality resin free sharp blades; this will greatly cut down
the load put on to motors, drive belts and gears.
Use adequate extraction, this will help keep the machines
internal mechanisms clean and also help keep your work
area clear from dust and shavings.
gears and remove all off cuts & debris.
• Lubricate slides, threads, gears
• Check drive belt for ware or damage
