TO USE THE MITRE GAUGE (Fig. 32)
The mitre gauge provides greater accuracy in angled
cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are
recommended.
There are two mitre gauge grooves, one on either side
of the blade. When making a 90
o
cross cut, you can
use either mitre gauge groove. When making a beveled
cross cut (the blade tilted in relation to the table) the
mitre gauge should be located in the groove on the
right so that the blade is tilted away from the mitre
gauge and your hands.
The mitre gauge can turned 60
o
to the right or left.
• Loosen the lock knob.
•
With the mitre gauge in the mitre gauge groove, rotate the gauge until the desired angle is reached
on the scale.
•
Retighten the lock knob.
ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig. 33)
The ON/OFF switch has a removable key. With the
key removed from the switch, unauthorized and
hazardous use by children and others is minimized.
•
To turn the saw ON, insert the key into the slot in the
switch. Move the switch upward to the ON position.
•
To turn the saw OFF, move the switch downward.
•
To lock the switch in the OFF position, grasp the end
(or yellow part) of the switch key and pull it out.
•
The switch will not operate with the switch key
removed.
