If possible, always use a clamping device such as a ‘G" clamp to secure your workpiece.
When cutting your workpiece, keep your hands well away from the blade area.
Do not remove a cut-off piece on the right-hand side of the blade using your left hand.
A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time.
It is used in making picture frames, to cut mouldings, making boxes with sloping sides
and for roof framing. Always make a test cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting
into the good material.
1. Pull on the Release knob (13) and lift the saw arm to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre locks (2).
3. Rotate the mitre table (10) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the
mitre scale (8).
4. Retighten the mitre locks (2).
5. Loosen The bevel lock (19) and move the saw arm (12) to the left to the desired bevel
angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten The bevel lock (19).
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (11).
If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is
placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade.
7. When cutting long workpiece, support the opposite end of the workpiece with the
side support bars, a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
8. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that
there are no problems such as a clamp interfering with the cutting action.
9. Hold the handle (15) and firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (16). Allow the blade
to reach maximum speed and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
10. Release the switch trigger (16) and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before
raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the
workpiece.
