5. BEVEL CUT (SEE FIG. P)
A bevel cut can be made at any angle in the range of 0°
to 45° left. It can be made as either a chop cut or a cross
pull cut depending on the width of the workpiece.
The saw can be moved from the normal 0° perpendicular
position to an angled position down to 45° from the
horizontal, on the left only.
The bevel lock is used to set the blade at the desired
bevel angle. To adjust the bevel angle, refer to BEVEL
LOCK section in the BEFORE OPERATION section.
After setting the required bevel angle, follow the
procedures of chop cut/cross pull cut.
6. COMPOUND CUT (SEE FIG. Q)
A compound mitre cut is a cut made using a mitre angle
and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is
used for mouldings, picture frames, and boxes with
sloping sides. Always make a test cut on a piece of scrap
wood before cutting into the good material.
Set the mitre angle and bevel angle refer to MITRE
TABLE LOCK section and BEVEL LOCK section in the
BEFORE OPERATION section.
After setting the required mitre and bevel angle, follow
the procedures of chop cut/cross pull cut.
7. SETTING THE CUTTING DEPTH(SEE FIG. R1, R2)
The maximum blade cutting depth is pre set at the
factory. The factory pre set ensures the saw blade does
not come into contact with the bed of the saw. In normal
circumstances the cutting depth does not require
adjustment. If you really need to adjust the cutting depth,
follow the procedure set out below.
1) Using a spanner (not supplied) to loosen the cutting
height screw lock nut (e) by turning it anti-clockwise.
Then turn the cutting height screw (f) clockwise to
lower down.
2) Pull the depth stop lever (g) outwards. Lower the saw
head, and the saw blade will stop when the cutting
height screw (e) touches the depth stop lever (e).
3) Turn the cutting height screw (f) clockwise if you
need the blade to be raised higher; turn the cutting
height screw (f) anti-clockwise if you need the blade
to be down lower. Continue to adjust the screw
several times to get a suitable cutting height as
required.
4) Tighten the cutting height screw lock nut (e) by
turning it clockwise.
5) Return the depth stop lever (g) to its original position
when not in use.
