3. Rotate the table until the indicator reaches the desired angle on the scale tab
4. Secure the tab lock lever.
5. Before turning the saw on, run a test on the idle machine to make sure that the cutting is not difficult.
6. Firmly grasp the handle of the saw and squeeze the trigger. Wait a few seconds so that the blade
can reach its maximum speed.
7. Press your thumb against the lower blade guard locking device located on the handle.
8. Slowly lower the blade through the workpiece.
9. Release the trigger and wait until the blade stops spinning before removing it from the workpiece.
10. Raise gently the blade motor block to its highest position and release the lower blade guard locking
device.
WARNING!!
Always place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge pressed firmly against the stop.
If the board is bent, place the convex side against the stop and secure it. If the concave side is placed
against the stop, the board may press against the blade at the end of the cutting, blocking it.
WRONG
RIGHT
To prevent bouncing and serious bodily injury, never locate the concave side of a bent or curved piece
against the stop.
When cutting long pieces of wood or mouldings, support the opposite end of the workpiece. Align the
cutting line of the workpiece with the cutting edge of the blade. Hold the work piece firmly with one hand
and press it firmly against the stop.
WARNING!!
To avoid the risk of serious bodily injury, make sure that the mitre lock lever is securely locked before
starting cutting. If the mitre lock lever is not locked, the table may move during the cut.
To avoid serious bodily injury, your hands should always stay out of the "forbidden hands" area, at least
75 mm away from the blade. Never perform freehand cutting (without pressing the workpiece against
the stop). The blade could hook the workpiece if the latter slides or twists.

Cross-sections
A cross section consists in cutting transversely through the workpiece. To perform a straight cross-
section cut (90°), the table should be set on position 0°. To perform mitre cuts - cutting, the table should
be positioned at an angle other than 0°.
