4.4 Raising and lowering saw blade
The saw blade is raised and lowered by means of the elevation arm illustrated in
D,
Fig. 9. The blade may be locked at the desired height by means of the elevation locking clamp
illustrated in
D, same figure.
4.5 Tilting saw blade
The saw blade must be in low position when adjusting tilting angle. Loosen tilting locking
clamp
F to tilt saw blade from 0° to 45°. See Fig. 9. The angle of tilt is indicated on the
scale in the turn table.
4.6 Turning turn table
The turn table may be turned horizontally from 0° (ripping) to 135°, though it is limited to
90° when the short rollertable is attached. The angle is indicated by means of a scale on
the turn table and a mark on the saw table. Lock turn table in desired position by push-
ing stop handle
E to the left. Free turn table by pushing stop handle to the right. The saw
is also provided with pre-stops at 0° - 45° - 90° and 135°. See Fig.9.
5. OPERATION
5.1 Crosscutting
There are two methods for making crosscuts (with the turntable at 90°).
A
• Hold material against fence and raise saw blade to make cut.
IMPORTANT! Note that the saw blade moves up and forward the entire length
of the slot. This is the essence of the MaxiCut concept.
B
• Raise saw blade to desired height and lock into place. Place material against
fence behind saw blade and feed material into sawblade by pulling fence.
See Fig. 10.
CAUTION! Crosscutting as described in B can only be done with saw blade set
at a 90° angle. Never saw more pieces at one time than can be held securely
against the fence.
CAUTION! Never stack boards higher than the rip fence provides support for.
