DANGER
Never try to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the saw. It might come into
contact with the blade guards.
Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the
flats on the spindle. It will prevent the blade screw from properly securing the blade on
the spindle.
Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings that may be required suit the spindle and the
blade fitted.
CROSS CUT
If possible, always use a clamping device such as a “G” clamp to secure your workpiece.
When cutting your workpiece, keep your hands well away from the blade area.
Do not remove a cut-off piece on the right-hand side of the blade using your left hand.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A 90° crosscut is made
with the mitre table set at 0º. Mitre crosscuts are made with the table set at some angle
other than zero.
1. Pull on the release knob (2) and lift the saw arm (1) to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre locks (15).
3. Rotate the mitre table (12) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.
4. Retighten the mitre locks (15).
5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (11).
If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence (11). If the concave side
is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade.
6. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with side
support bars, a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
7. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that
there are no problems such as a clamp interfering with the cutting action.
8. Hold the operating handle (3) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (16). Allow the
blade to reach maximum speed and press the switch lock (17) to left;slowly lower the
blade into and through the workpiece.
9. Release the switch trigger (16) and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising
the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the
workpiece.
BEVEL CUT
If possible, always use a clamping device such as a “G” clamp on the right of mitre table
to secure your workpiece.
When cutting your workpiece, keep your hands well away from the blade area.
Do not remove a cut-off piece on the right-hand side of the blade using your left hand.
