4. STRAIGHT AND ANGLE CUTTING
5. OPERATING THE MITRE SAW
Place the workpiece flat on
the rotating mitre table with
one edge securely against
the rear fence.
Note:
If the workpiece is
warped, ensure the convex
side is against the rear fence.
A compound mitre cut
involves using a mitre angle
and a bevel angle at the
same time.

OPERATION
The tool is recommended for use with a residual current device
with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
CAUTION!:
DO NOT USE THE MITRE SAW TO CUT
METAL OR MASONRY.
A straight cut is made by
cutting the grain of the
workpiece. A 90
°
straight cut is
made with the mitre scale set
in the 0

Workpiece
When cutting long pieces of
timber, support the opposite
end of the timber with the
material support bars.
Material clamp will assist
when making cuts when
feeding materials from either
side of the saw.
When performing a bevel or
compound cut, the material
clamp should be positioned
on the right hand side of the
fence.
Note:
Before performing a cut, ensure the blade is at full speed.
Failure to do this will cause the blade to become blunt and cause
the blade to lock-up.
Note:
When the cut is complete allow the blade to stop rotating
before raising the cutting head. This is required for safe operation
of the unit to prevent personal injury.
>45ºLeft
A bevel cut involves using
a bevel angle other than 0°
tilting saw to the left
Note:
To obtain good cuts when performing bevel or compound
cuts the workpiece should be clamped.
