Overload switch/overload protection (push to reset) (Fig. A)
• If the machine is overloaded, the protection mechanism automatically switches the machine off.
• After the machine has been allowed to cool, it can be switched back on again by pressing the reset
switch and then the ON/OFF switch .
• If there is still an overloading problem, check whether:
· very hard wood was being sawn too quickly (feed speed)
· there has been a drop in speed / a rise in power consumption
· very moist wood was being sawn (high braking effect)
· the machine is choked with saw dust
· the saw blade is blunt
ASSEMBLY
After removal of the packaging check the machine for transport damage. Do not operate the
machine if it is damaged.
1. Bolt the dust cowl
a hex spanner. The underside of the dust cowl must be horizontal and lie flat on the saw table
with the saw bade moving freely beneath it.
2. The machine must be set up on a robust table or workbench with a solid working surface.
Make sure that the machine and table are supported in a safe manner.
3. If you are working in an enclosed space you must have the saw dust extraction system installed and
the vacuum extractor connected and operating (see figure D). The two connections for vacuum dust
extraction can be found at the rear of the machine housing and on the dust cowl. If you are not
working with a vacuum extractor attached to the dust extraction ports then the dust will collect
inside the housing and must be removed after every 30 working minutes (maximum).
4. Mount the guide fence
type of work you are doing.
· Only use the machine in a dry environment.
· A special vacuum suction device must be used for the extraction of dust, otherwise this could
lead to an explosion.

OPERATION

Take note of the mains voltage! The voltage must agree with that shown on the machine rating
plate (equipment shown as 230 V can also be connected to 220 V).
The electrical circuit must be fitted with 16 A protection.
