220/240 V motor. Although the motor supplied with this machine will run safely on a 13 A domestic ring main, on starting the machine
a high current of very short duration is drawn, which could cause your 13 A fuse to blow. If this persists we recommend you to have
the machine connected to a 16 A separate radial circuit.
Ensure you use a suitable sized fuse to match the motor.
This work should be undertaken only by a qualified electrician!

RIVING KNIFE

When replacing the blade ensure the replacement is correct for the riving knife. The riving knife must be thicker than the body of the
blade, but thinner than the kerf thickness.

DUST COLLECTION

We strongly recommend the use of a Dust Collector with this machine. Our Sales Department will be happy to offer you advice on
the correct collector.
RIPPING FENCE
To avoid kick backs always adjust the ripping fence to extend no further than 50 mm beyond the front of the blade.
