CLAMPING THE WORKPIECE

6.2.1.
Unscrew set screw (Fig 8 - 16b) for the moveable stop rail (fi g 8 - 16a), move the stop rail towards the saw blade, with a maximum
gap of 8mm. Tighten set screw (fi g 8 - 16b) to lock moveable stop in position.
6.2.2.
Place the piece of wood to be cut hard against stop rail (fi g 8 - 16) and onto the turn table (fi g 8 - 14).
6.2.3.
Secure the material with clamping device (fi g 4 - 7) onto the fi xed table (fi g 8 - 15) to prevent the material from moving during
cutting.
WARNING! Prior to making a cut ensure that the saw blade does not clash with the moveable stop rail. Reposition stop rail if
required.
6.3.
CHOP CUT
6.3.1.
This setup is used mainly for narrow cutting widths of up to approx. 100mm where the locking screw for the drag guide is tightened.
6.3.2.
Move the machine head to its upper position. See section 5.6.
6.3.3.
Holding the handle (fi g 8 - 1) push the machine head (fi g 8 - 4) to the rear of the drag guide (fi g 2 - 21) and lock in position by
tightening screw (fi g 2 - 20).
6.3.4.
Turn the saw on, see section 6.1.
6.3.5.
Slowly push the machine head downwards via the handle (fi g 8 - 1), and continue to move the machine head down until the saw
blade (fi g 2 - 6) has completely cut through the workpiece.
6.3.6.
Move the machine head to its upper position and turn off by releasing the on/off trigger switch, see section 6.1.
6.4.
CROSS PULL CUT
6.4.1.
This setup is used for wider cutting widths where the locking screw for the drag guide is left loose.
6.4.2.
Pull the machine head (fi g 8 - 4) to the front of the drag guide. Lower the handle (fi g 8 - 1) to it's lowest position and push the
machine head slowly and steadily backwards until the saw blade has completely cut through the work piece.
6.4.3.

WARNING! The machine head is sprung loaded and will return to it's upper position automatically. DO NOT release the handle
after completing the cut. Control the machine heads upward movement by maintaining a slight counter pressure until the
machine head has reached it's upper position.
WARNING! Never pull the saw towards you during a cut. The blade may suddenly climb up onto the top of the workpiece, and
violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator which may cause personal injury and damage to the saw.
6.5.

SQUARE CUT

6.5.1.
A square cut is made with the bevel pointer (fi g 1 - 19) set at 90º on the bevel scale (fi g 1 - 18) and the turn table pointer (fi g 1 - 12)
at 0º on the mitre scale (fi g 1 - 13). It can be made as either a chop cut or a cross pull cut depending on the width of the workpiece.
WARNING! Prior to making a cut ensure that the saw blade does not clash with the moveable stop rail. Reposition stop rail if
required.
6.6.
MITRE CUT
6.6.1.
A mitre cut is made with the bevel set at 90º and the turn table at 0º to 45º to the left and 0º to 45º to the right. It can be made as
either a chop cut or a cross pull cut depending on the width of the workpiece .
6.6.2.
Unscrew locking handle (fi g 5 - 11) and lift up the release lever (fi g 5 - 28) and rotate the turn table (fi g 1 - 14) until the required
angle is indicated by the pointer (fi g 1 - 12) on the mitre scale (fi g 1 - 13).
6.6.3.
Re-tighten locking handle to secure the turn table.
WARNING! Prior to making a cut ensure that the saw blade does not clash with the moveable stop rail. Reposition stop rail if
