Positioning the Work:
Fences should be set so that the centerline of the work is either to the front, or on the centerline of the blade
(see Diagram “D”). Fences must be adjusted so that short pieces cannot be trapped between the blade and
the fences. The Fences are adjustable side to side to close the gap. Gap should be 1/16” to 1/8”. Fences must be in line
with each other—front to back (see Diagram “E”). If very short pieces are to be cut, a piece of wood or aluminum can be
fixed to the table to make a sub-table, which will stop pieces from being trapped between the blade and the saw slot
(see Diagram “G” on Page No. 10). New machines are provided with a Chip Breaker which eliminates the need for a
subtable.

1. Pull back spring loaded mitre locking pin & handle assembly & rotate to the right or left. This prevents the pin
from engaging. Mitre lock pin & handle will lock in the open position.
2. Make sure mitre lock down bolt (located in the center of the pivot bracket-see Diagram “D” & “E”) is loosened.
3. To lock in at preset angles, rotate sawhead and disc near the desired angle aligning with zero mark on base.

How to operate the 200R Series Single Cut-Off Saws:
Before operating the machine, please read the “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE OPERATOR” above.
Other important information and features need to be learned before operating the machine.
Rotation:
The blade must rotate to the rear of the machine on the underside of the blades (see Diagram “D” below).
Blade Guard:
The blade and belt drive are enclosed. When the saw arm is lowered, the lower blade guard rotates up into
the main blade guard. The blade continues through the work as the lower blade guard rotates up.
NEVER
remove any blade guard part, exposing the blade. These machines are general purpose in their design,
therefore the USER
should attach additional guarding to the blade guard or table base if his cutting application
causes unsafe blade exposure.
