• Switch on the saw bench.
• Feed the workpiece, without imposing
pressure on it, towards the saw blade. Support
the section of the workpiece that has already
passed the saw to ensure that it does not fall.
• When the rear edge of the appliance comes
close to the saw blade, use the push stick (B)
to feed the workpiece further. Use at all times
the push stick for small workpieces.
• Switch off the saw bench when you have
sawed the workpiece.
Mitre guide

The mitre guide (A) allows you to place the
workpiece on the table at an angle of 45° allowing
diagonal saw cuts to be made. You can for this
purpose secure the mitre guide to the guide (B)
(Fig. 6).
