Hi Marc, welcome to the forum
"The training of the eyes to know when an edge is perfectly straight or a surface is flat, free from winding, and straight, is a very important part of a lad's training."

I'm in Sydney, so I won't be dropping around.
I suggest you go to your local library & see if you can borrow 'The Table Saw Book' published by Taunton - if they don't have a copy they should be able to get it on Inter Library Loan. Read it - it will answer most of the questions you have after looking at the 'Chinglish' instructions that come with most saws.
You may also find a manual for a saw similar to what you are buying at the Grizzly machinery site - they are a North American company who import Taiwanese & Chinese machinery to the US & they make their own manuals, which are on line as .pdf files - very handy - I just wish shipping wasn't a problem.
Most machinery can be assembled correctly with a bit of patience - I know how hard it is to wait long enough to read the manual.......
