Operating Instructions

3. Bevel cuts (See Fig. F1, F2)

A bevel cut is made at 0° mitre and any bevel angle in the range from 0° to 45° left. The saw can 
be moved from the normal 0° perpendicular position to an angled position down to 45° from 
the horizontal, on the left only. (See Fig. F1)
To adjust head tilt, release bevel lock knob and tilt the saw head to the left, until the desired angle 
is reached on the angle scale. Re-tighten the bevel lock knob and make your cut. (See Fig. F2)

NOTE: 

Locate the clamp vice at right side when you make bevel cutting.

4. Compound angle cuts (See Fig. G)

By using both the rotary table adjustment and the head tilt, cutting of compound angles is 
possible. Fig.G shows the saw with 45° set on the rotary table and the saw head tilted 45°.

5. Laser guide (See Fig. H

)

The laser guide (25) equipped with this machine is for the purpose of precision cutting. Make
