OPERATION
Compound mitre 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 compound mitre cut involves using a mitre
angle and a bevel angle at the same time. It is
used in making picture frames, to cut mouldings,
making boxes with sloping sides and for roof
framing. Always make a test cut on a piece of
scrap wood before cutting into the good
material.
1. Pull on the release knob (2) and lift the saw
arm to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre locks (18) and lifting up the
mitre latch (19) ..
3. Rotate the mitre table (14) until the pointer
aligns with the desired angle on the mitre scale
(15).
4. Release mitre latch (19) and retighten the
mitre locks (18).
5. Loosen the bevel lock (10) and move the saw
arm (1) to the left to the desired bevel angle
(between 0°and 45°). Tighten the bevel lock (10).
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one
edge securely against the fence (12). If the board
is warped, place the convex side against the
fence. If the concave side is placed against the
fence, the board could break and jam the blade.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support
the opposite end of the timber with the side
support bars, a roller stand or a work surface
that is level with the saw table.
8. 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.
9. Hold the operating handle (3) and firmly and
squeeze the switch trigger (17). Allow the blade to
reach maximum speed and slowly lower the blade
into and through the workpiece.
10. Release the switch trigger (17) 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.
To Slide Cut Wide Boards
To slide cut wide boards, Unlock the slide lock
knob (22) and allow the cutting head assembly to
move freely.
Setting cutting depth
The depth of cut can be preset for even and
repetitive shallow cuts.
1. Slide the stop plate (24) towards the front
position.
2. Loosen the lock nut (25) to free the lock knob
(23), turn the stop knob until the cutting head
down until the teeth of the blade are at the
desired depth.
3. While holding the upper arm in that position,
tighten the lock nut to secured the stop knob.
4. Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting
head front to back through the full motion of
typical cut along the control arm.
