OPERATION (cont.)

3. Set the desired mitre angle by rotating the mitre
table (23) to the left or right using the mitre angle
indicator (26) to select the required mitre angle.
4. When the desired mitre angle is set, tighten the mitre
table lock knob (25) by turning in a clockwise
direction (Fig.19).
Warning!
Ensure the mitre table lock knob (25) is tight before making a cut.
Failure to do so may result in the rotating mitre table (23) moving during
operation and cause serious personal injury.
5. Place the workpiece flat on the rotating mitre table (23) with one edge
securely against the rear fence (17). If the workpiece is warped, ensure the
convex side is against the rear fence (17).
6. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber
with the side support bars (19), a roller stand or a work surface (bench) that is
level with the rotating mitre table (23).
7. Before turning the Mitre Saw on, perform a dry (test) run of the cutting
operation to check that there are no problems and everything is correctly
adjusted.
NOTE:
Before performing a cut, ensure the blade (10) is at full speed. Failure
to do this will cause the blade (10) to become blunt and cause the blade to
lock-up.
8. Turn on the Mitre Saw, wait for the blade (10) to reach full speed and then
lower the cutting head (4) so the blade (10) starts cutting the workpiece.
9. Release the on/off switch (8) when the cut is complete and allow the blade (10)
to stop rotating before raising the cutting head (4). This is required for safe
operation of the unit to prevent personal injury.
