3. Press the release latch (24)
(fig. k) and slowly lower the
blade into the workpiece
(fig. l) and slide it away from
you at the same time until the
workpiece is cut (fig. m).
4. Release the switch trigger (23)
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. n).
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 locks (18).
3. Rotate the mitre table (16) until the pointer aligns
with zero on the mitre scale (17).
4. Retighten the mitre locks (18).
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre locks 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 (12) and move the saw arm (5) to
the left to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º).
Tighten the bevel lock (12).
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 a roller stand or a work surface
that is level with the saw table.
8. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
9. Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and squeeze the switch
trigger (23). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
10. Press the release latch (24) and slowly lower the blade
into and through the workpiece.
11. Release the switch trigger (23) 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.
Compound mitre cut
A compound mitre cut involves
using a mitre angle and a bevel
angle at the same time (fig. o).
It is used in making picture frames,
to cut mouldings, making boxes
with sloping sides and for roof
framing. Always make a test cut
on a piece of scrap wood before
cutting into the good material.
Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces.
1. Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the saw arm
to its full height.
