FENCE ASSEMBLY AS A RIP FENCE
To use the Fence Assembly as a Rip Fence the Face Plate must
be accurately aligned with the blade.
WARNING: Only carry out this procedure with the machine
disconnected from the power supply.
To Align the Rip Fence:
• Set the bevel to 0˚ using the table measurement scales.
• Align the fence using the table top scales and lock in place
with the 2 locking levers.

BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS

WARNING: Do not cut metal or metallic materials when the
machine is configured as a Table Saw.
WARNING: Never attempt freehand cuts on this machine.
Always use a correctly adjusted Rip Fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and kickback.
WARNING: This machine is not suitable for cutting rebates or
stopped grooves.
Note: A workshop dust extraction device can be connected
to the extraction port found at the front left hand side of the
machine if required.
1. Table Saw On/Off Switches (Fig. 20)
• Push the Green (I) button to start the motor.
• Push the Red (O) button to stop the motor.
2. Rip cutting
Note: Check that the Rip Fence is locked in position and is
parallel to the saw blade. Check that the riving knife is properly
aligned with the saw blade.
When ripping small section material a Push Stick should be
used to feed/guide the final 12 inches of the material past the
blade. A Push Stick should always be used when making cuts
of less than 12 inches.
Note: A Push Stick is provided with the R8MTS and has a
dedicated storage position to the front of the machine.
We recommend that when not in use the Push Stick is stored
on the machine. (Fig.21)
When ripping long boards or large panels always use a remote
work support or enlist competent trained help.
Hands should never be in line with the blade.
Note: If the push stick becomes damaged it should be
replaced.
