WARNING
Use the vice to secure your work piece on one side of
the balde only. The workpiece must remain free on
one side of the blade to prevent the blade from bind-
ing in workpiece. The workpiece binding blade will
cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation could
cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury.
CROSSCUTTING
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of
the work piece. A 90°crosscut is made with the
mitre table set at the zero degree position. Mitre
crosscuts are made with the mitre table set at
some other angle other than zero.
1. Pull on the release knob and lift the saw arm to
its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre locks.
3. Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns
with the desired angle.
4. Retighten the mitre locks
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 work piece 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 placed against
the fence, the board could break and jam the
blade.
6. When cutting long pieces of timber or mold-
ing, support the opposite end of the timber
with side support bars, a roller stand or a work
surface that is level with the saw table (Fig. 2.1,
Fig. 2.2).
7. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run
of the cutting operation to check that there are
no problems.
8. Hold the operating handle firmly and squeeze
the switch trigger. Allow the blade to reach
maximum speed.
9. Press the release latch and slowly lower the
blade into and through the work piece.
10. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating before raising the blade
out of the work piece. Wait until the blade
stops before removing the work piece (Fig. 3).
BEVEL CUT
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of
the work piece with the blade angled to the fence
and mitre table. A bevel cut is made with the mitre
table set at zero degree position and the blade set
at an angle between 0°and 45°.
1. Pull on the release knob and lift the saw arm to
its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre table locking handle.
3. Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns
with zero on the mitre scale.
4. Retighten the mitre locks.
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 and move the saw arm to
the left to the desired bevel angle (between 0°
and 45°). Tighten the bevel lock.
6. Place the work piece 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 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 side sup-
port bars, 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 firmly and squeeze
the switch trigger. Allow the blade to reach
maximum speed.
10. Press the release latch and slowly lower the
blade into and through the work piece.
11. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating before raising the blade
out of the work piece. Wait until the blade
stops before removing the work piece.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands
outside the no hands zone; at least 75mm from the
blade. Never perform any cutting operation free hand
(without holding work piece against the fence). The
blade could grab the work piece if it slips or twists.
COMPOUND MITRE CUT
A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle
and a bevel angle at the same time. It is used in
making picture frames, to cut moldings, 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
1. Pull out the release knob and lift the saw arm
to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock knob.
3. Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns
with the desired angle on the mitre scale.
4. Retighten the mitre locks.
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 lever and move the saw
arm to the left to the desired bevel angle (be-
tween 0°to 45°). Tighten the bevel lock.
6. Place the work piece 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 placed against
the fence, the board could break and jam the
