Mitre cut

•
Switch the laser on/off switch (1) to on.
•
Loosen the mitre detent lever (11) and move
the table to the required angle. There are
preset stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and
45°. Tighten the mitre detent lever (11).
•
For any other angle use the Superlok™ mitre
clamp (9) (fig. B) to set the mitre to the
required angle.
•
Operate the on/off switch (3), then press the
saw arm release lever (36) and lower the
cutting head.
•
When the saw reaches full speed, push the
main operating handle (2) down slowly,
cutting through the workpiece.
•
Slowly move the main operating handle (2)
toward the fence to complete the cut.
•
Release the on/off switch (3) and allow the
blade to stop before allowing the cutting
head to rise.
Operating the high sliding fence for all bevel and
compound mitre cuts
•
The moveable part of the left side of the
fence can be adjusted to provide maximum
support of the work piece near the blade,
while allowing the saw to bevel to a full 47°
left. The sliding distance is limited by stops in
both directions.
Adjusting the fence (fig. E)
•
Loosen the high sliding fence clamp (20) and
slide the fence to the left.
•
Make a dry run with the saw switched off and
check for clearance.
•
Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade
as practical to provide maximum work piece
support, without interfering with the up and
down movement of the arm.
•
Tighten the high sliding fence clamp (20) to
secure the fence in place.
Warning! The guide groove can become
clogged with sawdust. Use a stick or low
pressure air to clear the guide groove.

Bevel cut
