SAW OPERATIONS (Fig. 1, 3, 4 & 8)
A. Chop-cuts
• To turn on the machine, squeeze the on/off switch (3) located in the handle (2).
Important!
To cut, place the material flat on the machine surface and secure with the material hold down clamp
(18) so that the material cannot move while you are cutting.
• After turning on the saw, wait for the blade (5) to reach its maximum speed.
• Using the handle (2), apply steady and light downward pressure to move the machine head (4)
through the workpiece.
• When the cut is completed, return the machine to its top position and let go of the On/Off switch (3).
Caution!
A return spring causes the machine head (4) to rise automatically at the end of the cut. Do not let go of
handle (2) as soon as the cut is completed. Steady the machine head (4) and allow it to rise slowly.
B. Miter Cuts
The saw can be used to make miter cuts of 0°-45° relative to the fence (7) on the left and right side.
• Turn the table (8) by moving miter table knob (10) to the desired degree.
• Make the cut as described in Section A of Saw Operations.
C. Bevel cuts
The saw can be used to make bevel cuts of 0°- 45° to the left.
• Lift the machine head (4) to its top position.
• Move the table (8) to the 0° position, and secure with miter lock knob (17).
• Loosen the bevel lock lever (11) and use the handle (2) to tilt the machine head (4) to the left until the

• Make the cut as described in Section A of Saw Operations.
G. Compound Cuts
The saw can be used to make bevel cuts on the left at an angle of 0°-45° relative to the table (8), and
miter cuts -45° /0°/ +45° relative to the fence (7).
• Lift the machine head (4) to its top position.
• Adjust the miter table (8) by its handle (2) to the required angle.
