OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic
conditions in terms of table height and stability. The machine
site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview
and enough free surrounding space around the machine that
allows handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of increased vibration, make sure the
environment is not too cold, the machine and accessory are well
maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this machine.

WARNING:
• Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
• Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy ergonomic
conditions in terms of table height and stability. The
machine site shall be chosen so that the operator
has a good overview and enough free surrounding
space around the machine that allow handling of the
workpiece without any restrictions.
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use
excessively worn blades. The maximum rotation speed
of the tool must not exceed that of the saw blade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles
are tight.
• Never place either hand in the blade area when the
saw is connected to the electrical power source.
• Never use your saw for freehand cuts!
• Do not saw warped, bowed or cupped workpieces.
There must be at least one straight, smooth side to go
against the rip fence or mitre fence.
• Always support long workpieces to prevent kickback.
• Do not remove any cut-offs from the blade area while
the blade is running.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A, M)
The on/off switch (Fig. A) of your table saw offers multiple

advantages:
• No-volt release function: should the power be shut off for
any reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
• Lift the red paddle and push green button

this saw on.
• Push the red button 43 or push down the red paddle to
turn this saw off.
Rip Fence Operation (Fig. A, N)
Rail Lock Lever
The rail lock lever 5 locks the fence in place preventing
movement during cutting. To lock the rail lever, push it down
and toward the rear of the saw. To unlock, pull it up and toward
the front of the saw.
nOTE: When ripping, always lock the rail lock lever.
Work Support Extension /Narrow Ripping
Fence
Your table saw is equipped with a work support extension to
support work that extends beyond the saw table.
To use the narrow ripping fence in the work support position,
rotate it from its stored position as shown in Figure N, and
slide the pins into the lower sets of slots
the fence.
To use the narrow ripping fence in the narrow ripping position,
snap the pins into the upper sets of slots
the fence. This feature will allow 51 mm of extra clearance to the
blade. Refer to Figure N.
nOTE: Retract the work support extension or adjust to narrow
rip fence position whenever working over the table.
Fine Adjustment Knob
The fine adjustment knob 4 allows smaller adjustments when
setting the fence. Before adjusting, be sure the rail lock lever is in
its up or unlocked, position.
Rip Scale Pointer
The rip scale pointer will need to be adjusted for proper
performance of the rip fence if the user switches between thick
and thin kerf blades. The rip scale pointer only reads correctly
for position 1 (0 mm to 510 mm), however for position 1 with
narrow rip fence in use add 52 mm. See Adjusting the Rip Scale
under assembly.
Basic Saw Cuts
