MAX 31131 Table Saw User Manual

Quick guide from the manual

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation of the MAX 31131 Table Saw. Always read the full safety instructions before use. Ensure the saw is disconnected from the power supply before performing any assembly, adjustments, or maintenance.

Assembly and preparation

Before starting, lay out all parts on a soft surface to prevent scratching. Do not fully tighten bolts until all components are in place.

• Frame assembly: Attach legs (16) to the corners of the saw using bolts (19). Secure the supports (21a/21b) to the legs. Install rubber feet (16a). Connect short (18) and long (17) cross-braces to the legs using bolts (19) and nuts (20). Attach anti-tip mechanisms (16b) to the rear legs.
• Bench extensions: Align extensions (8) with the sides of the saw bench (1). Attach using cross-braces (21c) and bolts (19).
• Riving knife: Position the saw blade vertically (0°). Loosen the countersunk screw (23) to lift the bench inlay (2). Ensure a 3-5 mm gap between the saw blade (3) and the riving knife (6). Adjust if necessary using the assembly screw (24).
• Blade guard: Attach the blade guard (4) to the riving knife (6) using screw (25). Ensure it moves freely.

Settings

• Cutting depth: Turn the hand wheel (12) to raise or lower the blade (3). The blade should protrude no more than one tooth height above the workpiece.
• Blade angle: Loosen the lock knob (13), press the hand wheel (12) in, and turn to adjust the angle between 0° and 45°.
• Parallel guide: Install to the right of the blade. Use the plastic guide (15a) for short workpieces; remove it for long workpieces. Secure with the lock knob (30).
• Mitre guide: Insert into the slot (31a/31b). Loosen the wing nut (32) to set the desired angle (0-60°).

Operation

Ensure the workpiece is placed against the parallel or mitre guide. Start the saw using the green 'I' button. Feed the workpiece with a smooth, steady motion. Use the push stick (9) for small workpieces. If the blade jams, turn off the saw immediately using the red 'O' button and disconnect from power before clearing the jam.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly remove sawdust and dirt using a vacuum or brush. Ensure motor ventilation slots are clear.
• Lubrication: Lubricate all moving parts with light oil.
• Carbon brushes: Replace both carbon brushes if they are worn down.
