SAWBLADE TENSION (Fig. 16)
Warning!
Too much tension can result in the breakage of the sawblade. Too little tension can result in the sliding of the sawblade.
1. Direct the upper blade guiding wheel upwards.
2. To check the tension, exert slight lateral pressure on the sawblade, mid-way between the table and the upper sawblade
guide (the sawblade must have a maximum sideways give of 1 to 2 mm).
3. If it is necessary to correct the tension:
Turn the adjustment knob (36) clockwise to increase the tension.
Turn the adjustment knob (36) counter-clockwise to reduce the tension.

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS
Warning! Electric voltage
Make sure that the saw is in a dry place. Before you plug in your saw, make sure that the following requirements have
been met:
•
Fuse protection with FI switch and leakage current of 30 mA
•
Mains sockets installed according to professional standards, earthed and approved
Place the power cable so that it is out of your way and will not be damaged while you work.
Protect this cable from heat, corrosive liquids and sharp edges.
Only use rubber cables of a sufficient thickness.
Do not pull on the cable to unplug it from the mains.

HANDLING
Warning!
To reduce the risks of injury, follow the safety instructions below while you work:
•
Use personal protective equipment:
- A dust mask
- Ear protection
- Protective eyewear
•
Never saw more than one workpiece at a time.
•
When you saw a workpiece, always maintain it firmly on the table.
•
Do not tilt the workpiece. Do not slow down the sawblade by exerting side pressure.
•
When your work, if necessary, use:
- A support for large workpieces that may fall off the table once cut.
- A sawdust extraction system.
•
When you make circular cuts, use an appropriate clamping device to avoid twisting of the workpiece. (Fig. 17)
•
If you saw boards on edge, use an appropriate set square to prevent your board from tilting. (Fig. 18)
Before you start working, make sure that the following parts are in perfect condition:
- Sawblade
- Upper and lower slides
•
Replace damaged parts immediately.
•
Adopt a correct working position when you are sawing (the teeth of the saw must face the user).
•
Never saw several workpieces at the same time – never saw joined workpieces made up of several parts. There is
a risk of accident if workpieces are pulled by the sawblade while unattended.
Risk associated with inadequate dress
•
We advise you not wear loose clothes, jewellery or gloves as they may get caught in the revolving parts of the machine.
•
If you have long hair, it is essential that you tie it back.
•
Never cut any workpiece which has cables, cords, ribbons, rope or wires attached to it.
