Noise information

Noise emission values determined according to EN
62841-3-1.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is:
Sound pressure level 94 dB(A); sound power level 103
dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB.
Wear hearing protection
The noise emission value given in these instructions has
been measured in accordance with a standardised measur-
ing procedure and may be used to compare power tools. It
may also be used for a preliminary estimation of noise emis-
sions.
The noise emission value given represents the main applica-
tions of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used
for other applications, with different application tools or is
poorly maintained, the noise emission value may differ. This
may significantly increase noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate noise emissions accurately, the times when the
tool is switched off, or when it is running but not actually be-
ing used, should also be taken into account. This may signi-
ficantly reduce noise emissions over the total working
period.
Assembly
Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally. The
u
mains plug must not be connected to the power supply
during assembly or when carrying out any kind of
work on the power tool.

Items included

Check to ensure that all the parts listed below have been
supplied before using the power tool for the first time:
– Table saw with fitted saw blade (24) and riving knife (4)
– Angle guide (2)
– Parallel guide (5)
– Additional parallel guide (40)
– "Additional parallel guide" fastening set (41) (2 fastening
screws, 2 washers, 2 wing nuts)
– Protective cover (3)
– Hex key (10)
– Ring spanner (9) with slotted screwdriver tip
– Push stick (12)
– Table insert(23)
Note: Check the power tool for possible damage.
Before continuing to use the power tool, carefully check that
all protective devices or slightly damaged parts are working
perfectly and according to specifications. Check that the
moving parts are working perfectly and without jamming;
check whether any parts are damaged. All parts must be fit-
ted correctly and all the conditions necessary to ensure
smooth operation must be met.
If the protective devices or any parts become damaged, you
must have them properly repaired or replaced by an author-
ised service centre.

Fitting individual components

– Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from
their packaging.
– Remove all packing material from the power tool and the
accessories provided.
– Turn the locking screws (32) as far as possible in the "Un-
lock" direction using the tip of the ring spanner (9) and
open the base grid (31) (see figure a).
Remove the packing material under the motor block.
The following tool elements are attached directly to the tool
housing: Push stick (12), ring spanner (9), hex key (10),
parallel guide (5), angle guide (2), extraction adapter (29),
additional parallel guide (40) with fastening set (41), pro-
tective cover (3).
– If you require one of these parts, remove it carefully from
its storage location.
Positioning the riving knife (see figures b1–b2)
Note: If necessary, clean all parts to be fitted before you po-
sition them.
– Turn the crank (15) clockwise as far as possible so that
the saw blade (24) is in the highest possible position
above the saw table.
– Loosen the clamping lever (33).
– Slide the riving knife (4) towards the clamping lever (33)
until it can be pulled upwards.
– Pull the riving knife all the way up until it is positioned ex-
actly over the centre of the saw blade.
– Allow both pins (34) to engage in the lower bore holes in
the riving knife and then retighten the clamping lever
(33).
Fitting the table insert (see figure c)
– Place the table insert (23) over the riving knife (4) and
into the tool chamber.
– Turn the locking screw (35) as far as possible in the
"Lock" direction using the tip of the ring spanner (9).
The front side of the table insert (23) must lie flush with or a
little below the saw table; the rear must lie flush with or a
little above the saw table (see "Adjusting the level of the
table insert (see figure N)", page 42).
Fitting the protective cover (see figures d1–d2)
Note: Only fit the protective cover when the riving knife is in
the top position directly over the centre of the saw blade
(see figure b2). Do not fit the protective cover when the riv-
ing knife is in the bottom position (position when delivered/
position for sawing grooves) (see figure b1).
– Loosen the clamping lever (36) and remove the protect-
ive cover (3) from the bracket (11).
– Hold the saw blade guard (upper metal rail) of the pro-
tective cover (3) with one hand, while using the other
hand to move the clamping lever (36) up.
– Push the guide pin (37) backwards into the groove on the
riving knife (4).
