following 

preparations 

are               

completed: 

the saw is securely mounted ; 

the  saw  table  is  installed  and 

aligned; 

the V-belt tension checked; 

safety devices have been checked. 

Connect  the  saw  to  the  mains  supply 

only after all of the above preparations 

are  completed!  Otherwise  there  is  a 

risk of an unintentional starting of the 

saw, which can cause severe personal 

injury. 

6.1 Mounting 

For  a  firm  stand  the  saw  must  be 

mounted on a stable supporting surface: 

1.  Drill  4  holes  in  the  supporting 

surface. 

2.  Put  fixing  bolts  through  the  base 

plate and secure with nuts. 

 

Optimal  working  height  and  stability  is 

provided  by  the  steel  stand,  which  is 

already  prepared  for  mounting  the  saw.
