CROSS-CUTTING
(WITHOUT SLIDE ACTION)
When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is
not necessary to use the slide mechanism.
In these cases ensure that the slide lock
(29) is screwed down to prevent the saw
arm from sliding.
A crosscut is made by
cutting across the grain
of the workpiece. A
90° crosscut is made
with the mitre table set
at 0°. Mitre crosscuts
are made with the table
set at some angle other than zero.
1. Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the
saw arm (5) to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (25).
3. Rotate the mitre table (21) until the
pointer aligns with the desired angle.
4. Retighten the mitre lock (25).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten
the mitre lock before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in the table
moving during the cut and cause serious
personal injury.
5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with
one edge securely against the fence (19).
If the board is warped, place the convex
side against the fence. If the concave side
is placed against the fence, the board
could break and jam the blade.
6. When cutting long pieces of timber,
support the opposite end of the timber
with the side support bars (37), a roller
stand or a work surface that is level with
the saw table.
7. Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure
the workpiece wherever possible.
8. It is possible to remove the clamp
assembly (10) by loosening the clamp
assembly lock (11) and moving it to the
other side of the table. Make sure the
clamp assembly lock is tight before using
the clamp.
9. Before turning on
the saw, perform a
dry run of the cutting
operation to check
that there are no
problems.
10. Hold the operating
handle (7) firmly
and squeeze the
switch trigger (24).
Allow the blade to
reach maximum
speed and slowly
lower the blade into
and through the workpiece.
11. Release the switch trigger (24) and
allow the saw blade to stop rotating
before raising the blade out of the
workpiece. Wait until the blade stops
before removing the workpiece.
CROSS-CUTTING
(WITH SLIDE ACTION)
When cutting wide
workpieces, first
unscrew the slide lock
(29).
1. Pull on the release
knob (6), raise the
saw arm (5) to its
highest position and slide it towards you.
2. Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the
switch trigger (24). Allow the blade to
reach maximum speed.
3. Slowly lower the blade into the
workpiece and slide it away from you at
the same time until the workpiece is cut.
4. Release the switch trigger (24) and allow
the saw blade to stop rotating before
raising the blade out of the workpiece.
Wait until the blade stops before
removing the workpiece.
BEVEL CUT
A bevel cut is made
by cutting across the
grain of the workpiece
with the blade angled
to the fence and mitre
table. The mitre table is
set at the zero degree
position and the blade set at an angle
between 0° and 45°.
Use the slide action when cutting wide
workpieces.
1. Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the
saw arm to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (25).
3. Rotate the mitre table (21) until the
pointer aligns with zero on the mitre
scale (22).
4. Retighten the mitre lock (25).
WARNING.
Be sure to tighten
the mitre lock before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in the table
moving during the cut, causing serious
personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock (16) and pull out
the 0° bevel adjuster. Move the saw arm
(5) to the left or right to the desired
bevel angle (between 0° and 45°).
Tighten the bevel lock (16).
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with
one edge securely against the fence (19).
If the board is warped, place the convex
side against the fence. If the concave side
is placed against the fence, the board
could break and jam the blade.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support
the opposite end of the timber with the side
bars (36), a roller stand or a work surface
that is level with the saw table.
8. Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure
the workpiece wherever possible.
9. It is possible to remove the clamp
assembly (10) by loosening the clamp
assembly lock (11) and moving it to the
other side of the table. Make sure the
clamp assembly lock is tight before using
the clamp.
10. Before turning on the saw, perform
a dry run of the cutting operation to
check that there are no problems.
11. Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and
squeeze the switch trigger (24). Allow
the blade to reach maximum speed and
slowly lower the blade into and through
the workpiece.
12. Release the switch trigger (24) and
allow the saw blade to stop rotating
before raising the blade out of the
workpiece.
Wait until the blade stops before removing
the workpiece.
COMPOUND MITRE CUT
A compound mitre
cut involves using
a mitre angle and a
bevel angle at the
same time. It is used
in making picture
frames, to cut
mouldings, making boxes with sloping sides
and for roof framing. Always make a test
cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting
into the good material.
Use the slide action when cutting wide
workpieces.
1. Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the
saw arm to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (25).
3. Rotate the mitre table (21) until the
pointer aligns with the desired angle on
the mitre scale (22).
4. Retighten the mitre lock (25).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten
the mitre lock before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in the table
moving during the cut, causing serious
personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock (16) and pull out
the 0° bevel adjuster (18) and move the
saw arm (5) to the left or right to the
desired bevel angle (between 0° and 45°).
Tighten the bevel lock (16).
