Bevel Cut - GMC ROS150CF Manual

Cross-cutting (without slide action)
When cutting a narrow piece of wood
it is not necessary to use the slide
mechanism. In these cases ensure that
the Slide Lock (29) is screwed down to
prevent the saw arm from sliding.
A crosscut is made by cutting across
the grain of the workpiece. A 90°
crosscut is made with the mitre table
set at 0° (Fig. q). Mitre crosscuts
GB
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
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 lat 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
(37), 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. r)
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)
irmly and squeeze the Trigger
Switch (24). Allow the blade to
reach maximum speed
11. Press the Release Latch (36) (Fig. s) and slowly lower the blade into
and through the workpiece

s
12. Once the cut is complete, slowly raise the blade out of the workpiece
and once clear of the workpiece release the trigger switch and allow
the saw blade to stop rotating. Continue raising the operating handle
until back in its secure normal position with the guard covering the
blade. Remove the workpiece
Cross-cutting (with slide action)
When cutting wide workpieces, irst 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 irmly and squeeze
the Trigger Switch (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 trigger switch 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 0° and 45°
(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 until the
pointer aligns with zero on the
Mitre Scale (22)
4. Re-tighten the mitre lock
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 0° Bevel Adjuster (18).
Move the saw arm (5) to the left or right to the desired bevel angle
(between 0° and 45°). Tighten the bevel lock
6. Place the workpiece lat 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
