Cross-Cutting (Without Slide Action); Cross-Cutting (With Slide Action); Bevel Cut - GMC SYT210 Instructions Manual

1. Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece
2. Adjust the angle of mitre and bevel of the cut
as required
3. Switch on the Laser Light On/Off Switch (16)
(Fig. U)
4. Clamp the workpiece in position using the
laser line to align the blade with the pencil
mark on the workpiece
5. Plug in the machine and start the motor
6. Press the Release Latch (2)
7. When the blade is at its maximum speed (approximately 2
seconds), lower the blade through the workpiece
8. After completing the cut, switch off the Laser Light On/Off Switch
(16)
9. After each use, clean the Laser Cover (13):
a) Switch off the Laser Light Switch (16) and remove the plug from
the power point
b) With the Saw Arm (19) in the raised position, use a soft brush
to dust away the sawdust build-up around the assembly
Note. Wear eye protection whilst brushing the dust away

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 saw head
is pushed back and the Slide Lock (21) is
screwed down to prevent the saw arm from
sliding (Fig. W)
• A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain
of the workpiece. A 90° crosscut is made with the mitre table set
at 0°. Mitre crosscuts are made with the table set at an angle
other than zero
1. Pull on the Release Knob (20) and lift the Saw Arm (19) to its full
height
2. Loosen the Mitre Locks (7)
3. Rotate the Mitre Table (8) until the pointer aligns with the desired
angle
4. Retighten the Mitre Locks (7). 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 and cause serious personal injury
5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely
against the Fence (11). If the board is warped, place the convex
side against the Fence (11). 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 a roller stand or a work surface that is level with
the saw table
7. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of
U
the cutting operation to check that there are no
problems
8. Hold the Operating Handle (1) firmly and
squeeze the Trigger Switch (17). Allow the
blade to reach maximum speed
9. Press the Release Latch (2) (Fig. X) and
slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece
10. Release the Trigger Switch (17) 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

Cross-cutting (with slide action)

• When cutting wide workpieces, first unscrew
the Slide Lock (21) (Fig. Y)
1. Pull on the Release Knob (20), raise the Saw
Arm (19) to its highest position and slide it
towards you (Fig. Z)
2. Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the
Trigger Switch (17). Allow the blade to reach
maximum speed
3. Press the Release latch (2) and slowly lower
the blade into the workpiece (Fig. a) and slide
W
it away from you at the same time until the
workpiece is cut (Fig. b)
4. Release the Trigger Switch (17) 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. c)
• Use the slide action when cutting wide
workpieces
1. Pull on the Release Knob (20) and lift the saw arm to its full height
2. Loosen the Mitre Locks (7)
