OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO MAKE A MITRE CUT (Fig. 19)

Mitre cuts are used for cutting outside and inside corners on
material, decorative chair rails and base moldings with the
material at any angle to the cutting disc other than 90°.
Mitre cuts tend to “creep” during cutting. This can be
controlled by holding the workpiece securely against the
mitre cutting guide.

•  

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut

    on material.

•  

Slide mitre guide onto parallel cutting guide from front.

•  

Set the parallel cutting guide to desired width, and

    tighten the locking knob to secure in place.

•  

Adjust mitre guide to desired angle, using angle scale,

    and tighten securely with locking knob.

•  

Make sure the material is clear of the cutting disc before turning on the saw.

•  

Turn the On/Off switch to the 

ON

 position.

•  

Let the cutting disc build up to full speed and wait for the cutting disc to get wet before moving the

    material into the cutting disc.

•  

Hold the material firmly against the mitre cutting guide and slide mitre cutting guide along parallel cutting

    guide. Feed the material into the cutting disc.

•  

When the cut is made, turn the saw 

OFF

. Wait for the cutting disc to come to a complete stop before

    removing any part of the material.

TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT (Fig. 20-21)

Beveled 15°, 30° and 45° cuts can be made using the 45°
vertical fence.

•  

Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut

    on material.

•  Raise up the 45° vertical fence.
•  On the underside of the 45° vertical fence, pull down the

    two table legs (1) into right angles of the plate.

•  Use first notches in legs to rest plate at a 15° angle 

(2).

•  

Use second set of notches to angle the 45° vertical fence

    into a 30° angle (3).

•  Use third set of notches to angle the 45° vertical fence

    into the highest 45° angle (4).

•  Fold legs up and lay the 45° vertical fence flat for a 0°
