12. 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 (Fig. k).
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. l).
2. Hold the handle firmly and
squeeze the switch trigger (24). Allow the blade to reach
maximum speed.
3. Press the release latch (35) 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. m).
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 move the saw arm (5) to
the left 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 (18). 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 (36), 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 (35) 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.
