15. Press the laser on/off switch to turn the laser
on.
16. Unlock the safety knob of locking lower guard
and then slowly lower the blade into and
through the work piece.
17. Release the trigger and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising the blade out
of work piece.
COMPOUND MITRE CUT
A compound mitre cut is a cut made using a mi-
tre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This
type of cut is used to make picture frames, cut
molding, make boxes with sloping sides, and for
certain roof framing cuts. To make this type of cut
the mitre table must be rotated to the correct an-
gle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct
bevel angle. Care should always be taken when
making compound mitre setups due to the inter-
action of the two angle setting. Adjustments of
mitre and bevel settings are interdependent with
one another. Each time you adjust the mitre set-
ting you change the effect of the bevel setting.
Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you
change the effect of the mitre setting. It may take
several settings to obtain the desired cut. The
first angle setting should be checked after setting
the second angle, since adjusting the second an-
gle affects the first.
Once the two correct settings for a particular
cut have been obtained, always made a test cut
in scrap wood before making a finish cut in good
wood.
1. Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw head to
its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre table lock knob.
3. Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns
with the desired angle on the mitre scale.
4. Tighten the mitre table lock knob.
5. Loosen the bevel lock lever and move the saw
arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.
6. Bevel angles can be set from 0°to 45°.
7. Align the indicator point with the desired an-
gle.
8. Once the saw arm has been set at the desired
angle, securely tighten the bevel lock lever.
9. Place the work piece flat on the mitre table
with one edge securely against the fence. If
the board is warped, place the convex side
against the fence, if the concave edge of the
board is placed against the fence, the board
could collapse on the blade at the end of the
cut, jamming the blade.
10. When cutting long pieces of timber or mold-
ing, support the opposite end of the stock
with the material supports.
11. Align the cutting line on the work piece with
the edge of saw blade.
12. Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and se-
cure it against the fence. Tighten the vice to
secure the work piece.
13. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run
of the cutting operation just to make sure that
no problems will occur when the cut is made.
14. Press the laser on/off switch to turn the laser
on.
15. Grasp the saw handle firmly, and then
squeeze the trigger. Allow several seconds for
the blade to reach maximum speed.
16. Release the trigger and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising the blade out
of work piece.
CUTTING LARGER WORKPIECES WITH SLIDE
ACTION
1. When cutting large work pieces with the
slide action, the work piece is placed squarely
against the rear fence and is firmly locked in
the vice.
2. Grasp the saw handle firmly (Fig. 4).
3. Slide the cutting head away from the rear
fence to the outer most position, and then
depress the trigger (Fig. 5).
4. Slowly lower the blade into and through the
work piece and push the cutting head to have
the blade through the larger work piece to-
wards the rear fence (Fig. 6).
WARNING
Never place undue force on the saw handle in a right
or left direction as this will misalign the head and re-
sult in an inaccurate cut.
LASER BEAM
The light from the laser beam gives you a guide-
line showing precisely a line where the blade has
to cut on the work piece from the table. The laser
beam can be switched on as required:
Press laser on/off switch to turn the laser on and
press the switch again to turn the laser off. The
network cable supplies power to the laser. The
laser beam should be aligned before being used
for the first time. Set bench to angle position 0°.
Loosen off laser-alignment screw slightly. Switch
the laser on and align the beam so that it points.
Exactly at the 0°gauge mark of mitre cut adjuster.
APPLICATIONS
To prevent accidental starting that could cause
possible serious personal injury, assemble all
parts, and make sure all warnings: adjustments
are complete, make sure all fasteners are secure
before connecting saw to power supply. Saw
should never be connected to power supply when
you are assembling parts, making adjustments, in-
stalling or removing blades , or when not in use.
VICE ATTACHMENT (FIG. 7)
To attach the vice, push the round attachment
rod into the vice attachment hole and turn the
rear locking knob in a clockwise direction to lock.
DUST BAG (FIG. 8)
Attach the dust bag by pressing the two metal
springs together.
