Dangerous and not fit for purpose – I just bought it and two weeks later I am still putting it together. It came with an instruction book for a DIFFERENT model. The manual was vague and didn't help much. I had to email the supplier who said no book had been written for the Hybrid saw yet. It came without the bolts needed to attach the front and back rails so I had to make a trip to the hardware store. It came WITHOUT A BLADE because the supplier said the [Content Removed] manufacturer provided a very cheap blade that did not meet their standards. There was no note or message on the website to say "no blade supplied". It has a 15.9mm arbor and you cannot buy 12" blades with this size bore. I had to special order a 12" blade with bore bushing rings and have to wait 2 more weeks for delivery. I am still trying to align the "blade" setup and the book just says "to align it". There are no video's on YouTube about assembling this saw as it is not a common brand in USA. I have just discovered the quick release mechanism for fitting the riving knife does not disengage because the handle cannot open as it hits another mechanism. The blade guard cannot be fitted unless it is fitted to a dust extractor. I do not recommend it until it has a comprehensive and accurate assembly booklet, an opportunity to purchase a blade when ordering the saw, a quality control check list to ensure all parts are supplied, and all parts are FIT for purpose. On just the second use, the blade started to rise on its own. I set it for a 3/4" half cut and the blade rose by 1/4" after the first cut and continued to rise until it cut all the way through the 2x4. This saw is a waste of money and is just plain dangerous.

Purchased in at Timbecon for $1,999.
