Using your Table Saw
Miter cutting/Cross cutting
Cross cutting is an operation where the work piece is cut across the grain, this can be
either at 90 degrees or at any other required angle. Using the bevel cutting miter gauge
(Fig.4) loosen the lock knob, adjust the gauge to the required angle, hold the work piece
firmly and push through the blade.

Bevel cutting

Loosen the hand wheel lock lever (Fig.3) and push the hand wheel until the required
angle of cut is shown on the angle scale on the front cover. Lock the hand wheel at
this required position. The saw blade should be now angled giving you the required
cut. (Fig.6)
This bevel action can be used for both cross cutting (using Angle guide) or rip cutting
(Using rip fence).
Warning: to avoid injury
When cross cutting or ripping ALWAYS use the correct guide fence, NEVER try
these operations free hand. Always set the blade depth approx. 1/8"(3.5mm)
above the work piece thickness, this not only provides the safest method of
cutting but also gives the maximum number of blade teeth in the work piece at
any one time, reducing stress on the motor.
Rip Cutting (Cutting with the grain or length wise)
This action must be done using the Ripping fence.
Before turning on the machine, adjust the ripping fence to the required cutting width,
lock the fence into the position, turn on the machine and when maximum speed is
reached feed the timber into the blade holding it firmly against the ripping fence, Always
use the Push stick(Pt.114) (Fig.5) provided to finish the cut. NEVER reach over the
table or try finishing the cut freehand, the push stick is supplied to ensure your safety
when used correctly
