OPERATION (cont.)

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. 34).
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).
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the ends of the timber with the
side support bars (21), a roller stand or a work surface (bench) that is level with
the mitre table (24).
8. Use the material clamp (8) to secure the workpiece.
9. 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.
CAUTION!
Before performing a cut, ensure the blade (13) is at full speed.
Failure to do this will cause the blade (13) to become blunt and can cause the
blade to lock-up.
10. Turn on the Mitre Saw, wait for the blade (13) to reach full speed and then
lower the cutting head (3) so the blade (13) starts cutting the workpiece.
11. Release the on/off switch (7) when the cut is complete and allow the blade
(13) to stop rotating before raising the cutting head (3).
