cutting lots of pieces, set the saw bow’s return
stroke height switch according to the work-piece’s
diameter will reduce the overall time of one
operation cycle.
- Turn off power.
- Unlock the saw bow by using the lock lever
under the machine bench.
- Rotate the saw bow to the desired cutting angle.
Refer to the scale to determine the proper angle.
- Lock the cutting angle in place by using the lock
lever.
5.2 Positioning the vise
When cutting angles, the relocation of the vise is
necessary to prevent the blade from cutting the
hydraulic vise.
- Next, adjust the location of the vise to avoid
contact with the blade.
