Cross Cutting (with slide action)
When cutting wide pieces of wood, ensure the slide locking knob (32) is loose.
1. Ensure the cuttting head (3) is raised and the head locking pin (4) is released.
2. Slide the cutting head towards you.
3. Hold the operating handle (6) firmly and turn the Mitre Saw on by depressing
the on/off switch (7). Wait for the blade (13) to reach full speed.
4. Slowly lower the cutting head (3) into the workpiece and slide it away from
you until the workpiece is cut through.
5. Release the on/off switch (7) and allow the blade (13) to stop rotating before
raising the cutting head (3) out of the workpiece.
Bevel Cutting
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of wood
with the blade (13) angled to the rotating mitre table
(24). The mitre index scale (29) is set to 0° and the
blade (13) can be set at an angle between 1° and 45°
(Fig. 30).
When bevel cutting, the slide action is also required
when cutting wide pieces of wood.
1. Ensure the cutting head (3) is raised and the head locking pin (4) is released.
2. Loosen the mitre lock knob (26) by turning in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Push down on the mitre adjustment lever (27) and rotate the mitre table until
the pointer aligns with 0° on the mitre scale.
4. Retighten the mitre lock knob (26) once the rotating mitre table (24) is set at 0°.
WARNING!
Ensure the mitre lock knob (26) is tight before making a cut.
Failure to do so may result in the rotating mitre table (24) moving during
operation and cause serious personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock lever (16) and move the
cutting head (3) to the left to the desired bevel
angle (as shown on the bevel angle indicator (17))
(Fig. 31).
6. Place the workpiece flat on the rotating mitre table
(24) with one edge securely against the rear fence
(19). If the workpiece is warped, ensure the convex
side is against the rear fence (19).
