Attention! Before you start sawing, first check the
following:
1. Is the saw blade secured?
2. Are all the locking handles secured?
3. Is the fence parallel to the saw blade?
4. Is the protective cap working properly?
5. Are you wearing safety goggles?
6. Is the saw blade not rubbing against anything?
It is absolutely necessary to take these points
into consideration before you start work!
Lengthwise sawing
• Secure the fence to the correct measuring
position and remove the cut-off guide from the
bench carriage.
• Press the wood lightly towards the bench and
let it glide against the cut-off fence.
Remain at least 3 cm. from the front of the
saw blade before you switch on the motor.
The side of the wood which is against the
fence must be completely straight. Keep
your hands at least 10 cm away from the
saw track to be followed.
• Switch on the motor and wait until the saw
blade has reached the maximum number of
revolutions before you start sawing.
• While you press the wood against the bench
and the fence, you can carefully push the wood
through the saw blade without forcing it.
• Never pull the workpiece backwards. If neces-
sary, switch off the motor first without altering
the position of the workpiece.
Lengthwise sawing with a (vertical) mitre
This method is practically the same, except that the
saw blade is placed at the angle required.
With this type of method the fence may only
be along the righthand side of the
sawblade.
Lengthwise sawing of narrow workpieces
Assume that this process is extremely
dangerous.
Take all the necessary safety measures and contin-
ually push the workpiece through (until behind the
saw blade) using a push stick instead of by hand.

Crosswise sawing
• Remove the fence and apply the cross-cut
fence in the righthand carriage.
• Adjust the height of the saw blade (see length-
wise sawing).
• Press the workpiece against the cross-cut
fence and keep at least 2,5 cm distance from
the front of the saw blade.
• Switch on the motor and wait until the maxi-
mum number of revolutions has been reached.
• Press the workpiece against the fence and the
bench. Carefully push the wood through the
saw blade. Continue until behind the saw blade.
Then switch off the motor and keep this posi-
tion until the saw blade has stopped completely
before you remove the wood.
• Never pull the wood back. If necessary, switch
the motor off and keep the position until the
saw blade has stopped completely.
Crosswise sawing with a vertical mitre
This method is practically the same, except that the
saw blade is placed in the angle required.
Only place the cross-cut fence on the
righthand side of the saw blade. Never saw
too small pieces of wood. Never use your
hands to carry out difficult operations.
Crosswise sawing with a horizontal mitre
With this method the cross-cut fence must be
secured at the angle required. Keep the workpiece
pressed firmly against the cross-cut fence and the
bench before you start cutting off.
Transporting the table saw
Before transporting the bench saw, the following
steps must be carried out:
• Pull the mains plug.
• Turn the hand-wheel (9) (Fig. B) in anticlockwise
direction, lower the blade as much as possible.
• Remove all accessories that cannot be mounted
firmly to the power tool.
If possible, place unused saw blades in an en-
closed container for transport:
• Wind the mains cable and bind it.
• For lifting or transport, carry the main table (1)
(Fig. A).
The bench saw should always be carried by
two persons in order to avoid back injuries.
