To release the cutting head from the locked down
position:
• Gently press down on the cutting handle.
• Pull out the head latching pin
(Fig. 16)
and allow
the cutting head to rise to its upper position.
If release is difficult:
• Gently rock the cutting head up and down.
• At the same time twist the head latching pin clockwise and
pull outwards.
Note:
We recommend that when the machine is not in use the
cutting head is locked in its down position with the latching
pin fully engaged in its socket.

CHOP CUTTING
This type of cut is used mainly for cutting small or narrow
section material. The cutting head is gently pushed down
to cut through the workpiece.
• Place the workpiece on the table and against the fence and
secure with clamp(s) as appropriate.
• Take hold of the cutting handle.
• Turn the motor on and allow the saw blade to
reach full speed.
• Press the lower guard locking lever to release the
cutting head
(Fig. 18)
.
• Lower the cutting handle downwards and cut
through the workpiece.
• Allow the speed of the blade to do the work, there is no
need to apply undue pressure to the cutting handle.
• When the cut has been completed, release the ON/OFF
trigger switch.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Allow the cutting head to rise to its upper position, with the
lower blade guard completely covering the blade teeth,
and the cutting head locked in the upper position, before
releasing the cutting handle.
• Remove the workpiece.
