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.

Workpiece
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.
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.
When cutting long
pieces of timber,
support the opposite
end of the timber with
the material support
bars.
1 Ensure the bench or stand and
mitre saw is stable and the
work piece is secured by the
clamps against the rear fence.
3 For a wider workpiece where
the blade needs to slide
through the piece, ensure that
the cutting head is pulled back
before starting the saw.
5 Lower the cutting head and
perform a smooth cut.
2 Set the mitre and
bevel angle for the
desired cut.
4 Hold the safety
guard stop away
with your thumb and
start the saw.
