10. COMPOUND CUTTING
A compound cut is a combination of a mitre and
bevel cut.
a) Select the required mitre angle as previously
described.
b) Select the required bevel angle as previously
described.
c) Ensure the tightness of all adjustment/locking
screws before making a cut.
11. SUPPORTNG LONG WORKPIECES
The free end of a long workpiece should be
supported at the same height as the machine
table. The operator should consider using a
remote workpiece support stand, or enlisting
competent trained help to support long
workpieces.
12. DEPTH STOP (Fig 17)
Use of the depth stop allows the operator to cut
slots in the workpiece. The downward travel of
the saw head can be set so that the saw blade
does not completely cut through the workpiece.
Note: It is advisable that the depth of cut is
checked using a scrap piece of timber to ensure
that the slot cut is correct.
By making a cut in the workpiece, and then
repeating the cut but with the workpiece slightly
repositioned to the left or right, it is possible to
perform trenching cuts.
To use the depth stop:
1. Loosen the locking nut.
2. Deploy the depth stop plate by easing it outwards.
3. Adjust the socket headed screw to limit the saw
heads travel to the required depth.
4. Once set to the desired depth, tighten the locknut
against the retaining bracket to lock the depth stop
screw and ensure that there is no movement.
5. When cutting is complete re-adjust the depth
stop so that the cutting head can be locked in
the down position by the head latching pin.
6. Return the depth stop plate to its original
position.
