OPERATION (cont.)
Compound Mitre Cut
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.
A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and
a bevel angle at the same time (Fig. 22). It is used to
make picture frames, cut mouldings, make boxes with
sloping sides and roof framing. Always test cut on a piece
of scrap wood before cutting into the final workpiece.
1. Ensure the cutting head (4) is raised. If the head
locking pin (5) is locked in place, pull the head locking
pin (5) and gently raise the cutting head.
2. Loosen the mitre table lock knob (25) by turning in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Move the rotating mitre table (23) to the left or the right to set the desired angle
Use the mitre angle indicator (26) as a guide.
4. Retighten the mitre table lock knob (25) once the Mitre Saw is set at the
required angle.
5. Loosen the bevel lock knob (13) and move the cutting head (4) to the left to the
desired bevel angle as shown on the bevel angle indicator (12).
6. 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).
7. 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).
8. 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 your blade (10) to become blunt and cause the blade to
lock-up.
9. 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.
10. 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.
