3. cHOP cut (see g1, g2)
Chop cut is used mainly for narrow pieces,
i.e. the lock screw of slide rod is tightened
and the head assembly is lowered to cut
through the workpiece.
1) Connect the machine to power outlet,
ensure that the mains cable is clear of the
blade and base plate.
2) Position the material to be cut on the
rotary table, ensure it is firmly clamped so
that it will not move during cutting.
3) Slide the cutting head to rear position
as far as it will go and lock the slide rod
by rotating the slide rod securing knob (c)
clockwise.
Ensure that the rotary table handle and
bevel lock lever (22) are tightened before
cutting.
4) Press the trigger switch and allow the
saw blade to run up the speed.
5) Still holding in the trigger, using your
forefinger simply press the safety release
lever. It will then be feasible to push the saw
head down by the handle.
6) Continue to move the saw head down
smoothly and make the cut exerting only
gentle pressure on the downward stroke,
letting the saw do the work.

trigger switch and allow the blade to stop
rotating before lifting the saw head up away
from the workpiece.
