Switch the laser on/off switch (1) to on.

Loosen the mitre lock knob (7) and move the table to the
required angle. There are preset stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°,
31.6°, and 45°. Tighten the mitre lock knob (7).

For any other angle use the mitre lock knob (fig. B) to
set the mitre to the required angle.

Operate the on/off switch (25), then press the saw arm
release lever (26) and lower the cutting head.

Release the on/off switch (25) and allow the blade to

Operating the high sliding fence for all bevel and
compound mitre cuts

The moveable part of the left side of the fence can be
adjusted to provide maximum support of the work piece
near the blade, while allowing the saw to bevel to a full
47° left. The sliding distance is limited by stops in both
directions.
Adjusting the fence (fig. R)

Loosen the high sliding fence clamp (43) and slide the
fence to the left.

Make a dry run with the saw switched off and check for
clearance.

Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical
to provide maximum work piece support, without
interfering with the up and down movement of the arm.

Tighten the high sliding fence clamp (43) to secure the
fence in place.
Warning! The guide groove can become clogged with
sawdust. Use a stick or low pressure air to clear the guide
groove.
Bevel cut

Make sure that the high sliding fence is adjusted to the
correct orientation before adjusting the bevel angle.

Loosen the bevel lock handle (22) (fig. E) and move the
cutting head to the required angle. Tighten the bevel
lock handle (22).

Operate the on/off switch (25), then press the saw arm
release lever (26) and lower the cutting head.
Make sure that the arm is securely locked when bevelling.

Release the on/off switch (25) and allow the blade to
stop before allowing the cutting head to rise.
Compound cut

Make sure that the high sliding fence is adjusted to the
correct orientation before adjusting the bevel angle to
make a compound cut.
A compound cut is a combination of mitre cut and bevel cut.

Switch the laser on/off switch (1) to on.

Refer to the above procedures to perform this cut.

Release the on/off switch (25) and allow the blade to
stop before allowing the cutting head to rise.
