TO MITER CUT/CROSSCUT continued....
6. When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the workpiece with a roller stand or with a work surface level with
the saw table.
7. Lower the blade and align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.
8. Grasp the workpiece firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the work clamp, a C-clamp, or other suitable clamp to secure
the workpiece whenever possible.
9. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.
10. Grasp the main handle firmly. Turn the saw on. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
11. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
12. Release the power switch and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before returning head assembly to the raised position and/or
removing workpiece.
When cutting wide workpieces, you should use the sliding action, unlock the
slide lock knob (A) Fig.16.
1. Raise the saw head to its highest position and slide the blade towards you.
2. Hold the handle firmly, press one of the safety buttons and squeeze the trigger.
Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
3. 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 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.
MITER CUTS
1. Loosen miter locking knob (A) Fig.17A. While holding the miter locking knob,
move the saw table to the desired angle. To get past one or more of the positive stops, it will be necessary to press the detent lever (B).Tighten
miter locking knob.
2. Properly position workpiece. Make sure workpiece is clamped firmly against the table. Use clamping position that does not interfere with
operation. Before
switching on, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.
3. Follow procedures for either crosscuts or slide cuts.
4. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before returning head assembly to the raised position and/or removing workpiece.
BEVEL CUT
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade angled to the fence and miter table. The miter table is set at the
0º position and the saw head is set at an angle between 0
1. Pull and turn the saw head release knob (A) Fig.17 and lift the saw head to its full height.
2. Loosen the miter lock handle.
3. Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on miter scale.
4. Retighten the miter lock handle.
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter lock handle before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and
serious personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock knob (B) Fig.12 and move the saw arm to the desired bevel angle (between 0
lock knob.
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence.
If the concave side is place 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 extension wings.
8. Use the vise to secure the workpiece whenever possible.
9. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
10. Hold the handle firmly, press one of the safety buttons and squeeze the trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
11. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
