Cross-cutting
(with slide action)
When cutting wide
workpieces, first unscrew
the slide lock (29).
1. Pull on the release knob
(6), raise the saw arm (5)
to its highest position and
slide it towards you (fig. t).
2. Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger
(24). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
3. Press the release latch (36) and slowly lower the blade
into the workpiece and slide it away from you at the
same time until the workpiece is cut.
4. Release the switch trigger (24) 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.
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 zero degree
position and the blade set
at an angle between 0º and
45º (fig. u).
Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces.
1. Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the saw arm to its
full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (25).
3. Rotate the mitre table (21) until the pointer aligns with
zero on the mitre scale (22).
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, causing serious personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock (16) and pull out the 0º bevel
adjuster. Move the saw arm (5) to the left or right to
the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten
the bevel lock (16).
6. 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.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite
end of the timber with the side bars (37), a roller stand
or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
8. Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.
9. 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.
10. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
11. Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and squeeze
the switch trigger (24). Allow the blade to reach
maximum speed.
12. Press the release latch (36) and slowly lower the blade
into and through the workpiece.
13. Release the switch trigger (24) 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.
