The Mitre Fence
The Mitre Fence is usually used when cutting
across the grain or for cutting at an angle.
Insert the fence into one of the slots in the table.
Set the angle by loosening the locking knob
and reading off the scale.
The fence can be used to the left or right of the
blade.
To set the support fence, loosen the two thumb
screws and slide the aluminium fence so that it
is supporting the workpiece as closely as
possible to the blade.
Making A Cut
- Ensure there is enough space around the table for the work piece before starting the cut.
- Position your feet in a stable and balanced stance.
- When feeding the timber, place your hands on the section of timber being kept.
- Never hold the waste part of the timber.
- Never force timber through the saw, always let it cut at its own speed.
- When cutting narrow pieces always use the push stick provided.
Fine Tuning
Blade Angle Stop Adjustments
The saw has positive stops that will enable the
blade to be set quickly at 90 degrees and 45
degrees. These are set during manufacture, but
might need adjustment after extensive use.
To adjust the stops:
Disconnect the power supply
Remove the saw blade guard
Raise the blade to its maximum height
Tip the machine onto its side to access the
setting screw
Turn the 90 degree set screw anticlockwise to
allow free adjustment of the blade
Using a square, set the blade at exactly 90
degrees to the table
