SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW
5.
Loosen the bevel lock knob (B)
Fig.18
and move the saw arm to the desired bevel angle (between 0˚ and
45˚ to the right or left). Retighten the bevel lock knob.
6.
Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is place 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 extension wings.
8.
Use the vise to secure the workpiece whenever possible.
9.
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
10.
Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
11.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
12.
Release the switch trigger 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 Cut
A compound 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 good material. Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces,
unlock slide by lossening lock knob (A)

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 0º position and the saw head is set at an angle between 0˚ and 45˚
to the right or to the left.
1.
Pull and turn the saw head release knob (A)
Fig.17
and lift the saw head to its full height.
2.
Loosen the mitre lock handle.
3.
Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with zero on mitre scale.
4.
Retighten the mitre lock handle.
WARNING:
Be sure to tighten the mitre lock handle before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the
table moving during the cut and serious personal injury.
