ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.

WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the
environment we all share. Waste electronic
and/or electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with

These General Power Tool Safety
Instructions are as specified in
BS EN 60745-1:2009 & EN 61029-1:2009)
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Work area safety]
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or
dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating power tool.
Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Electrical Safety]
a)Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c
) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp ed or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Personal Safety].
a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
paints should only be removed by a
professional and you should not attempt to
remove it yourself. Once the dust has been
deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure to even low levels of lead can
cause irreversible brain and nervous
system damage. The young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are
working with and to reduce the risk of
exposure. We recommend the use of an
approved face mask with replaceable filters
when using this machine.
You should always:
● Work in a well-ventilated area.
● Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING:
The operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
injury to the eyes. When using this machine
always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields or even a full face
shield where necessary.

ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Power tool use and care].
a)Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at a rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off.
Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the
power source and/or battery pack from

Additional safety rules for
your Table Saw
WARNING: Before using your table saw it
is important that you read and
understand these safety rules. Failure to
follow these rules could result in serious
injury to the operator, damage to the
table saw, or both.
● Do not use saw blades which are
damaged or deformed.
● Replace the table insert/access plate if
worn.
● Use only blades as recommended in
this manual, which conform to EN 847-1.
When changing a saw blade ensure that the
width of the groove (kerf) cut by the blade is
slightly greater than the thickness of the
riving knife. Also the thickness of the blade
body must not be greater than the thickness
of the riving knife.
● Take care that the selection of the saw
blade is suitable for the material to be
cut.
●Wear suitable personal protective
equipment when necessary. This could
include:
●
Wearing hearing protection to reduce the
risk of induced hearing loss.
07 08
●
The declared vibration total value has
been measured in accordance with a
standard test method and may be used for
comparing one tool with another.
●
The vibration measurement was made
under standard conditions in accordance
with: BS EN 61029-1:2009
●
The declared vibration total value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the
environment we all share. Waste electronic
and/or electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your relevant Government Agency, Local
Authority or retailer for up to date recycling
advice.
●
Wearing respiratory protection to reduce
the risk of inhalation of harmful dust.
●
Wearing gloves when handling saw
blades or rough material.
● Saw blades should be carried in a holder
whenever practicable.
● WARNING:
Freehand cutting is a major
cause of accidents and should not be
attempted.
Never perform any operation
freehand.
This means using only your
hands to support or guide the workpiece.
Always use either the fence or mitre gauge
to position and guide the work.
● Never attempt to free a stalled blade
without first turning the saw off.
Turn the
power off immediately to prevent damage to
the motor.
● Provide adequate support for long or
wide workpieces.
● Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where a slip could cause your
hand to move into the blade.
● Always use the blade guard.
The blade
guard must always be used in every
operation.
● Hold the work firmly.
Against the mitre
gauge or rip fence.
● Always use a push stick.
Especially
when rip cutting narrow stock.
● Keep guards in place and in working
order.
Always ensure that the riving knife is
fitted and correctly adjusted. Inspect the
riving knife regularly and replace it if it is
worn. Use only a genuine riving knife as this
is a dedicated component for this machine.
● Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from
the machine before turning it on.
●
Do not use in a dangerous
environment.
Do not use power tools in
damp or wet locations, or expose them to
rain. Keep work area well lit. Keep the area
well ventilated.
● Keep children away.
All children and
visitors should be kept at a safe distance
from the work area.
● Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS)
blades.
Ensure that the correct blade is
selected for the material being cut.
● The push stick or push block should
always be stored with the machine when
not in use.
● Connect the saw to a dust collection
device when sawing wood.
The operator
should be informed of the factors that
influence exposure to dust e.g. type of
material being cut and the importance of
local extraction (capture or source) and the
proper adjustment hoods/ baffles/ chutes.
● Use proper extension cord.
Make sure
any extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current
your machine will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and possible overheating.
● Always use safety glasses.
Also use a
face or dust mask if the cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
● Maintain tools with care.
Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
● Disconnect from the power supply
before servicing, cleaning or and when
changing accessories, such as blades.
● Use recommended accessories.
Only
use genuine Pingtek accessories.
● Check for damaged parts.
Before using
this machine, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function – check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
● Keep hands out of the path of the saw
blade.
● Never reach around the saw blade.
● Turn off machine and wait for saw blade
to stop before making any fence
adjustments.
● Never pull or carry the tool by the
power cord.
Carrying or pulling the tool by
the power cord could cause damage to the
insulation or the wire connections resulting
in the possibility of electric shock or fire.
● When transporting the machine use a
transportation device.
Never use the
guards for handling or transportation.
● During transportation the upper part of
the saw blade must be lowered fully and
covered by the guard.
● All operators using this machine must
read these instructions and familiarize
themselves with the machines controls.
● Never leave the saw unattended and
running.
Do not leave the saw until the saw
has been switched OFF, and the blade has
come to a complete halt.

ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE

THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the
environment we all share. Waste electronic
and/or electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your relevant Government Agency, Local
Authority or retailer for up to date recycling
advice.

ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
11 12
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the
environment we all share. Waste electronic
and/or electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your relevant Government Agency, Local
Authority or retailer for up to date recycling
advice.

ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
13 14
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the

that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the
environment we all share. Waste electronic
and/or electrical products should not be

ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
15 16
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.

Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on

being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
17 18
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the
environment we all share. Waste electronic
and/or electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your relevant Government Agency, Local
Authority or retailer for up to date recycling

To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
19 20
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the
environment we all share. Waste electronic
and/or electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your relevant Government Agency, Local
Authority or retailer for up to date recycling
advice.

ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the

●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS

on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS

cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
21 22
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the

The declared vibration total value has
been measured in accordance with a
standard test method and may be used for
comparing one tool with another.
●
The vibration measurement was made
under standard conditions in accordance
with: BS EN 61029-1:2009
●
The declared vibration total value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.

the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its

(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to

ASSEMBLING YOUR PINGTEK MACHINE
Your Pingtek Machine needs careful
assembly. Assembling your machine will
enable you to become completely
conversant with the machines many
features, and help you to realise its full
potential once commissioned.
Study carefully the exploded view of the
Machine Stand below.
The Build Process
●
Fully push the Rubber Feet
(B)
onto the 4
Legs
(A)
. Note that the Rubber Feet will
only fit onto the tapered ends of the Legs.
●
Select 2 of the Legs
(A)
and connect them
using a Top Cross Piece
(C)
using the
supplied Bolts
(G)
, Nuts
(H)
and Washers
(I)
. Note that Crosspiece (
C)
has 2 large
Ø10mm holes at each end. These
holes will be used to accommodate the
socket headed bolts which will secure the
completed stand to the main body of the
saw.
●
Connect a Middle Crosspiece
(E)
to the
same 2 Legs
(A)
using the supplied fixings.
Tighten the fixings securely but not to full
tightness at this stage.
You will now have the Front of the Machine
Stand completed.
Repeat the process above to complete the
Back of the Machine Stand. Note that the
Front and Back assemblies are identical.
●
You should now have 2 identical Machine
Stand assemblies (1 Front and 1 Back).
The completed Front and Back assemblies
can now be joined together by using the
Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
and the Middle
Side Crosspieces
(F)
using the supplied
fixings. Again only tighten the fixings
securely but not to full tightness at this
stage.
Note that Top Side Crosspieces
(D)
have
‘cut outs’ at each end. These ‘cut outs’ allow
the fitting of Crosspieces
(D)
to the
completed Front and Back assemblies
without obscuring the 4 corner holes that in
are found in Top Crosspieces
(C)
. These
holes are used to attach the Machine Stand
to the main body of the Table Saw.
STEP 2
ATTACH THE COMPLETED MACHINE
STAND TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE
TABLE SAW
WARNING:
The Table Saw is a heavy item.
We strongly recommend to you enlist the
help of a competent person when
attempting this procedure.
●
Remove the Table Saw from its
packaging.
●
Invert the Table Saw and place it on a
secure and clean workbench (or similar) of
adequate size.
Note:
The polystyrene packaging tray from
the original packaging box can be usefully
employed and positioned underneath the
inverted Table Saw to protect it and the
workbench from damage.
●
Offer the Machine Stand to the
underneath of the Table Saw body. Note
that the Machine Stand has ‘sides’ which
are slightly longer that the front and rear
dimensions.
●
Using 1 of the supplied Ø10mm x 15mm
socket headed bolts with a washer
positioned under the head, insert the bolt
through one of the stand corner holes and
into one of the threaded holes found at each
corner of the Table Saws main body.
Tighten using the supplied Hex key but not
to full tightness.
●
Repeat for the remaining 3 socket headed
bolts, so that all 4 corners of the Machine
Stand are bolted to the Table Saws main
body.
●
When satisfied with the construction
tighten fully ALL of the fixings on the
assembled Machine Stand and the 4 fixing
bolts which secure the Stand to the Main
Table Saw Body.
●
With competent help, lift the Main Table
Saw Body with its attached Machine Stand
from the workbench, turn over to the upright
position, and carefully place on the floor.
STEP 3
ATTACHING THE TABLE EXTENSIONS
The Table Extensions can be fitted
individually or collectively as the operator
desires.
Right or Left Hand Table Extensions
●
Select 2 of the shorter Table Extension
Support Struts. They may be labelled with
an R or L to aid assembly.
●
Select the Table Extension to be fitted.
Note that these extensions are not ‘handed’
but the edge with the elongated holes
needs to be attached to the machines table
using the Ø5mm x 20mm doomed headed
screws. These should be inserted through
the 2 elongated holes and screwed into the
threaded holes machined into the edge of
the machines table. It is not necessary to
put washers under the head of these
screws.
●
Using a Ø6mm x 12mm Hex Headed bolt
with a washer underneath the head attach
the 2 support struts to the Main Body of the
Table Saw. Two threaded holes are
positioned towards the front and back of the
body just above the Machine Stand.
●
Attach the other ends of the support struts
to the outer edge of the Table Extension
again using Ø6mm x 12mm bolts and nuts
with a washer underneath the head of the
bolt and also the nut.
●
Ensure that the Table Extension is ‘flush’
with the edge of the Machines Table and
also ‘inline’ and level with it. A ruler or
straightedge placed on the Machine Table
and projecting onto the Table Extension
can help with alignment.
(Fig. 1)
The ‘slots’
in the support struts should enable precise
macro positioning of the Table Extension.
●
When the Table Extension has been
precisely positioned tighten all of the bolts
and screws securely.
REAR TABLE EXTENSION
The Rear Table Extension is fitted in the
same way as the Right and Left Hand
Extensions. Note that the Rear Table
Extension Support Struts are longer than
the support struts for the side extensions.
STEP 4
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
The Blade Guard
(Fig. 2)
attaches to the
machines Riving Knife.
To attach the Blade Guard:
●
Raise the Blade to its maximum height
(refer to BLADE RAISE AND FALL) to fully
reveal the Riving Knife.
●
Position the Blade Guard over the Riving
Knife and insert the coach bolt (supplied)
through the Guard and through the hole in
the Riving Knife.
Note:
The ‘square’ underneath the head of
the coach bolt must fit into the square
recess found on the RH side of the Blade
Guard.
●
Position a washer and the ‘wing nut’ on
the other side.
●
Tighten the ‘wing nut’.
●
The ‘wing nut’ should be tightened just
sufficiently to secure the Blade Guard to the
Riving Knife whilst still allowing the Blade
Guard to move freely on the Riving Knife.
●
The Blade Guard should automatically
adjust to accommodate any thickness of
material. Check the operation of the Blade
Guard at varying heights and at various
bevel angles to ensure smoothness of
operation.
STEP 5
THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 3)
The Rip Fence consists of two main
parts:
●
The cast aluminium carrier.
●
The extruded aluminium ‘face plate’.
The ‘carrier’ fits into and slides along the
Front Fence Rail that is incorporated into
the front edge of the machine table. It can
be locked into position by tightening the
locking knob.
The ‘face plate’ is located and fastened to
the ‘carrier’ by 2 coach bolts, washers,
spacers and finger nuts. The spacers
enable the finger nuts to be positioned at a
convenient ergonomic position for the
operator.
The ‘face plate’ can slide forwards or
backwards on the ‘carrier’ and can be
locked into position by tightening the two
finger nuts.
STEP 6
THE SLIDING MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 4)
The Sliding Mitre Gauge fits into either of
the inverted ‘T’ slots positioned in the table
on either side of the blade. The Mitre Gauge
is supplied with an aluminium ‘faceplate’
that drops into and is fastened to the
protractor body of the Mitre Gauge by two
thumb screws. An angle scale is provided
on the body of the
Mitre Gauge to aid setting. The ‘face plate’
should be positioned to provide maximum
support for the workpiece whilst sliding
comfortably past the saw blade particularly
when the blade is tilted at a bevel angle.
STEP 7
THE DUST EXTRACTION HOSE (Fig. 5)
The plain end of the Dust Extraction Hose
pushes onto the Dust Extraction Port
located at the top rear of the Blade Guard.
The other end is fitted with a 3 way-port.
This 3 way port contains a ‘bayonet’ type
fixing that allows it to be fastened to
extraction port protruding from the lower
back of the machines main body. A suitable
workshop vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction machine (not supplied) can
be attached to the vacant port. Any sawdust
falling into the machine or being blown into
the crown of the blade guard can now be
removed by the vacuum machine.
YOUR MACHINES CONTROLS
THE ‘ON/OFF’ SWITCH (Fig. 6)
Your Pingtek machine is fitted with a ‘No
Volts Switch’. This is a safety feature which
prevents the machine from re-starting in the
event of mains supply interruption (power
cut, accidental mains power plug removal
or similar) until the ‘On’ switch is operated
again.
BLADE RAISE AND FALL
To Raise or Lower the Blade:
Turn the Raise and Fall Handle
(Fig. 7):
●Clockwise to lower the blade.
●Counter Clockwise to raise the blade
TILTING THE BLADE
A dual Tilt Locking Mechanism Knob on
your Pingtek Machine locks the blade at the
required tilt angle.
The Blade can be tilted at up to 45° from the
vertical (Left Hand side only).
To tilt the Blade:
●Turn the Outer Locking Control Knob
(Fig. 8)
counter-clockwise to unlock the
blade tilt mechanism.
●Turn the Inner Tilt Control Knob
(Fig. 9):
●Clockwise to tilt the blade to the left.
Counter Clockwise to return the blade to the
vertical position.
●Lock the blade at the required angle by
turning the Outer Locking Control Knob
clockwise.
Note:
An Angle Scale is conveniently
located behind the Tilt Control Knobs to aid
setting.
THE MITRE GAUGE
The Mitre Gauge slides in either of the
inverted ‘T’ slots found on either side of the
blade. The Mitre Gauge can be turned
through (up to) +45° to the right or left from
the normal 0° crosscut position. The
Locking Knob is conveniently situated on
the main protractor body.
The Mitre Gauge should always be used
whenever Cross-Cutting operations are
being conducted.
THE RIP FENCE
The Rip Fence slides along the Front Fence
Rail incorporated into the front edge of the
machines table.
The Rip Fence can be locked at the desired
position by tightening the locking knob.
The Rip Fence should be used when
making rip cuts, usually along the grain of
long workpieces.
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
OPERATION
ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH
WARNING:
Before operating the machine
carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Blade Guard is operating correctly, and that
all machine settings and adjustments have
been completed and all adjusting knobs etc
have been tightened.
WARNING:
Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the
appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and
kickback.
To start the machine:
●Slide the red safety button upwards and lift
the switch cover plate upwards to reveal the
‘On’ and ‘Off’ buttons.
●Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine
and the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine.
(Fig. 10)
Allow the blade to reach its full operating
speed before attempting to make a cut.
Note:
Closing the switch cover plate will
also switch off the machine.
BLADE HEIGHT SETTING
The blade should be set so that
approximately half a tooth protrudes
through the material to be cut. This will
ensure the most efficient and safe cutting in
normal operations.
WARNING:
This machine is NOT
SUITABLE for cutting grooves or rebates.
RIP CUTTING (Fig. 11)
Rip Cutting is the process of cutting along
the length of a piece of material (usually
with the grain) rather than across it.
Rip Cutting should be done with the Rip
Fence set at the desired width from the saw
blade and normally on the RH side of the
machines table.
The Mitre Gauge is not required for this
operation, and should be stored safely off
the machine.
Note:
Always check that the Rip Fence is
locked in position and is parallel to the saw
blade before attempting a cut. Also check
that the Riving Knife is properly aligned with
the saw blade.
When ripping small section material the
push stick (supplied) should be used to
feed/guide the final 300mm of the material
past the blade. A push stick should always
be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
BEVEL RIP CUTTING
Bevel Ripping Cutting is the same as Rip
Cutting but with the blade tilted at a bevel
angle. When bevel ripping material that is
150mm or narrower, the Rip Fence must
only be used on the RH (Right Hand) side of
the blade.
Note:
When Rip Cutting or Bevel Rip
Cutting long boards or large panels we
recommend the use of remote workpiece
support(s) to aid material handling.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE
RIP CUTTING
Feed the workpiece through the saw
keeping it gliding gently against the Rip
Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and
employ a push stick if necessary.
When the ripping width is greater than
300mm, and exercising great care, both
hands can be used to guide/feed the
material through the saw.
The operators left hand will be to the LH
side of the saw blade. The operators right
hand will be close to the Rip Fence on the
RH side of the sawblade.
WARNING:
Your hands should never be
in line with the blade.
CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 12)
Cross Cutting is usually cutting across a
fairly narrow workpiece and usually across
the grain.
The Mitre Gauge is required when cross
cutting.
To Cross Cut:
●Set the Mitre Gauge to 0° and tighten
using the locking knob.
●Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust
the mitre face plate.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate.
●Switch on the saw and allow to reach full
operating speed before making your cut.
WARNING:
Always check that the Mitre
Gauge will slide past the saw blade without
the ‘face plate’ coming into contact with the
blade.
MITRE CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 13)
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at
an angle other than 0°.
●Set the Mitre Gauge to the desired angle,
tighten and proceed as Cross Cutting
above.
BEVEL CROSS CUTTING (Fig. 14)
Bevel crosscutting is the same as
Crosscutting but with the blade tilted at an
angle.
●Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described and ensure that it is
locked in place (Refer to
TILTING THE
BLADE
).
●Set the mitre gauge to 0° and adjust the
faceplate so that it does not touch or foul
the saw blade as it passes. Hold the
material against the mitre gauge and make
your cut.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 15)
Compound Mitre Cutting is a combination of
a Mitre Cut and a Bevel cut.
●Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to
the desired angles. Lock both in place.
●Check that the mitre gauge will pass the
saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre
gauge faceplate if necessary.
●Hold the material against the mitre gauge
and make your cut.
REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING
Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of
cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each
piece.
Note:
We recommend that repetitive
cross-cutting is carried out with the Mitre
Gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the Rip Fence on the RH side
of the machine.
WARNING:
The Rip Fence can be used
as a length stop only as long as it is properly
set and adjusted.
To set the Rip Fence for use as a length
stop during Repetitive Cross Cutting:
●Set the blade to the required height
(approx half a tooth should protrude
through the material being cut).
●Set the Rip Fence to the required distance
from the saw blade.
●Adjust and align the back of the Rip
Fence Faceplate with the front of the saw
blade where it emerges from the table top.
Refer to
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT)
This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the
saw blade.
(Fig.16)
It will also minimise
the risk of the material being ‘pinched’
between the blade and the Rip Fence
Faceplate and prevent possible ‘kickback’.
●Hold the material to be cut against the
Mitre Gauge and slide up to the correctly
adjusted Rip Fence.
●Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with
your left hand.
●Gently push the workpiece through the
saw. Use a push stick, if necessary, in your
right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH
side of the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE – CROSS
CUTTING
Always use the Mitre Gauge, and ensure
that all the adjustment knobs are tightened
securely.
Make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched
‘Off’ to ensure that the Mitre Gauge
‘faceplate’ passes the blade successfully.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the Mitre
Gauge ‘faceplate’ and gently push the Mitre
Gauge and workpiece together across the
table to make the cut.
Always check that the cut workpiece cannot
become trapped by being ‘pinched between
the blade and any other part of the
machine.
Employ a ‘push stick’ if necessary to guide
the cut workpiece.
DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS
●Keep good balance and footing.
●Never over-reach.
●Allow the speed of the blade to do the
work. Do not try to ‘force’ the material
through the blade. Push the material
through the blade gently and smoothly.
●Always ensure that any adjustments made
to the machines settings are completed and
checked for tightness before operations
commence.
●Always use the relevant guide or fence
(
never
attempt
‘free hand’
cutting).
●Use a ‘push stick’ where necessary.
●Only remove a workpiece from the table
after the machine has been switched ‘Off’
and the blade has come to a complete halt.
ADJUSTMENTS AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only attempt any
maintenance or adjustment procedures
with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Only use genuine Pingtec
blades or blades specifically recommended
by Pingtek in this machine.
Note:
The operator should wear
protective gloves when handling or
changing the machines blade.
●Remove the blade guard.
Note:
An access plate is provided
immediately to the RH side of the Blade,
and runs the full length of the table. This
access plate is precisely engineered and
fitted into the table top. It may not be
immediately evident to the operator.
●Remove the two (2) prominent black cross
head screws that hold the access plate into
the table top. These are positioned
underneath the table top, one at the front,
and one at the rear.
●Lift the plate away and carefully store it
and its two (2) fixing screws for future
reinstallation.
●Raise the blade to its highest position.
●Use the 2 spanners (provided). The ‘pin
spanner’ is used to hold the outer blade
flange and thus the arbor from rotating, and
the other spanner is used to loosen the
arbor nut.
(Fig. 17)
●Remove the arbor nut, outer flange and
the blade.
●Ensure that both blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination (sawdust,
grease etc).
Note:
The inner blade flange can remain
‘in situ’ or removed from the machine for
checking and/or cleaning purposes. If it is
removed for cleaning purposes it must be
replaced in exactly the same orientation as
before being removed.
●Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth
are facing to the front of the saw, and that
the arrow on the blade is in line with the
motor direction.
●Replace the outer flange and nut and
tighten securely with the spanners
provided. Check that both blade flanges are
in contact with the blade.
●Replace the table access plate and its
fixing screws. Ensure that the access plate
is correctly seated within the table top, and
that the two fixing screws are inserted from
underneath the table top.
●Replace the blade guard.
RIVING KNIFE
The Riving Knife is a very important
component and comes factory fitted and
correctly aligned and adjusted. The Riving
Knife prevents the work from chattering
and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular
intervals and if it is worn or damaged have it
replaced with an original replacement part,
fitted by a competent technician.
WARNING:
The Riving Knife must be set
and adjusted to the tolerances shown.
(Fig. 18)
THE MITRE GAUGE CHECKING &
ADJUSTMENT
When the Mitre Gauge is set at 0° the
Faceplate and/or the main protractor body
of the gauge should be at 90° to the
machines blade.
Note:
A woodworkers square or set square
(not supplied) will be needed to check the
accuracy of the Mitre Gauge.
●Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply.
●Raise the blade to its maximum height.
●Place a woodworkers square or set
square flat on the table with one edge
against the blade (be careful not to touch
any of the blade teeth).
●Slide the Mitre Gauge up to the other edge
of the square to check that it is set at 90° to
the blade.
If adjustment is required:
●Loosen the Mitre Gauge Locking Knob.
●Set the protractor body and/or faceplate to
exactly align with the other edge of the
woodworkers square and tighten the
Locking Knob.
●Loosen the cross headed screw
(Fig. 19)
that secures the index pointer to the Mitre
Gauge protractor body.
●Adjust the pointer so that it is exactly
pointing at the 0° index mark.
●Tighten the cross headed screw.
RIP FENCE FACEPLATE
ADJUSTMENT
The Faceplate of the Rip Fence can be
adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if
the Rip Fence is used as a length stop for
repetitive cross cutting.
Loosening the two (2) thumb screws slightly
allows the Rip Fence Faceplate to slide
forwards or backwards on the carrier.
Tighten the two thumb screws when the
Faceplate is at the desired position
(Refer
to REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING).
THE PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick is provided with the
machine and has its own dedicated storage
brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body, underneath the RH table
extension (if fitted). When not in use store
the push stick on its dedicated storage
brackets.
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged
it should be replaced. If the operator makes
their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Your Pingtek machine has many other
specialised adjustments and/or
maintenance procedures, but these are
only possible with access to certain
specialised knowledge and/or equipment.
Pingtek recommend that for any procedure
not included in this Manual the operator
contacts the
UK TECHNICAL
HELPLINE
for further advice and
guidance.
CLEANING
After each use the machine should be
cleaned. Remove all sawdust etc from the
visible parts of the machine with a vacuum
cleaner. A vacuum cleaner can also be
connected to the machine dust extraction
port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the
machine. Never use solvents to clean
plastic parts, as solvents can damage them.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Be kind and considerate and look after the
environment we all share. Waste electronic
and/or electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your relevant Government Agency, Local
Authority or retailer for up to date recycling
