CAUTION!:
FOR ALL TYPES OF CUTS ENSURE
THE SAW IS LOCKED INTO POSITION.
Depending on the cut, the
material clamp will need
to be mounted on the
appropriate side. When
performing bevel cuts,
the work clamp must be
on the opposite side of
the bevel (otherwise it will
interfere with the cutting
action).
The lower guard provides protection to your hands and limbs when
the mitre saw head is in the up position. During the operation of
the saw, when the saw is turned on and you are making a cut, the
lower guard retracts over the upper guard as the saw is lowered
into the work piece.
A compound mitre cut
involves using a mitre angle
and a bevel angle at the
same time.

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
°
.
Mitre

>45º
Mitre cuts are made with the
mitre scale set at an angle
other than 0
°

A bevel cut is made by
cutting across the grain of
the workpiece with the blade
angled to the mitre table.
3. TYPES OF CUTS
Spindle Lock
The spindle lock prevents the
blade in the saw from rotating.
Depress and hold the spindle
lock while installing, changing,
or removing the blade
Straight Cutting
When cutting a narrow piece of wood, it is not necessary to use the
slide mechanism.
Bevel Cutting
Fence
Make sure that no part
of the tool contacts the
upper fence when bevel
or compound mitre
cutting. Always make
a dry run with the saw
turned off and check
clearance. Tighten
securely before making
a cut.
Mitre Cuts
Note:
For Bevel Cuts ensure the rear fence is adjusted for
blade clearance.
