Cross-cutting
A crosscut is made by cutting
across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90º crosscut is
made with the mitre table
set at 0º (fig. l). Mitre
crosscuts are made with the
table set at some angle other
than zero.
1. Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the saw arm (5) to
its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (25).
3. Rotate the mitre table (21) until the pointer aligns with
the desired angle.
4. Retighten the mitre lock (25).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre lock before making
a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving
during the cut and cause serious personal injury.
5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence (19). If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave
side is placed against the fence, the board could break
and jam the blade.
6. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite
end of the timber with the side support bars (32), a
roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw
table.
7. Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.
8. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (10) by
loosening the clamp assembly lock (11) and moving it
to the other side of the
table. Make sure the clamp
assembly lock is tight
before using the clamp
(fig. m).
9. Before turning on the saw,
perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to check
that there are no problems.
10. Hold the operating
handle (7) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (24).
Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
11. Press the release latch (31) (fig. n) and slowly lower
