6. Once the blade has stopped, raise the cutting arm to the up position.
8. USING THE SAW FOR CROSS CUTS
While cutting material that is sufficiently narrow t o allow the saw blade to make a cut using a downward movement (simi-
lar to that of a conventional mitre saw) instead of sliding the saw through the workpiece, the sliding movement of the saw
is locked in the rear position by tightening the locking knob of the slide rails. Push the cutting arm down t o make the cut.
When the cut is complete, release the trigger switch and wait for the blade to come t o a complete halt before lifting up the
saw head.
9. CUTTING CURVED MATERIALS
Inspect your workpiece before starting the cut.
If the piece is curved, set it against the guide fence with the
curved side as shown in the figure opposite.
^
IMPORTANT! If you do not cut your curved work-
piece as shown, it could pinch the blade. The workpiece
could move suddenly, leading to serious injury.

10. MITRE CUTS
1. Raise the cutting arm to its highest position.
2. Release the mitre handle and set the mitre to the required angle with the handle.
3. Stand in the line of the angle t o make the cut.
BeTo°re attempting to make a mitre cut or a bevel cut, extend the guide fence on either side. The blade may come in
contact with the guide fence if the extensions are not fully out.
11. BEVEL CUTS
The cutting head of your sliding mitre saw may be tilted t o any bevel angle, starting from a straight 9 0
0
cut t o a cut with a
45° bevel to the right or left.To do so, please refer to the paragraph «Setting the bevel».
1. Release the bevel locking knob (P) Fig.18. Set the blade at
the required angle, using the bevel scale (O) as a guide.
2. Tighten the bevel locking knob (P). Stand t o the left-hand
side of the saw to make the cut.
To use the double bevel feature, proceed as follows:
3. Put the cutting arm back in its highest position.
4. Loosen the bevel locking handle (P).
5. Pull the saw head bevel unlocking knob (O) and set the
blade at the required angle using the bevel scale (O) as a
guide.
6. Tighten the bevel locking handle (P). Stand to the right-
hand side of the saw to make the cut.

12. COMPOUND CUTS
A compound cut is one that uses a mitre cut and a bevel cut at the same time. While cutting wide workpieces, you need to
use the slide mechanism.
1. Loosen the bevel locking handle (P).
2. Put the cutting arm in the required position. Tighten the bevel locking handle once more.
3. Loosen the mitre handle and set it at the required angle. Tighten the mitre handle once more to lock the saw table.
4. Stand in the line of the handle to make the cut.
13. CUTTING SKIRTING BOARDS
Mllnr saw, c m he used for cutting skirting board',. I lie
ini'lliod will depend on I lie type of skirling board, its charac-
I n i ' . i i i . M i . l applications.
1. Use vices or damps whenever possible. Place protective
tape on the clamped surface so as to not damage the sur-
face of the board.
2. Identify the part of the skirting board to cut and draw a
cutting line on the workpiece.
3. Make several test cuts on scrap material before making
the final cut.
N.B.: the wood may split because of the thickness of the
board or because the type of blade is not appropriate.
14. CUTTING CORNICES AND MOULDINGS
One of the unique characteristics of the saw is the ease with
which you can cut cornices.
Cornices can be cut very exactly with your saw.The t w o
surfaces of the cornice must fit against the wall or ceiling
and vice versa.
Below is an example of how to cut the inside and outside
corners of corhices with 52/38° wall angles (Fig.21).
N.B.: While cutting cornices with a 45° wall angle, the
method below is the same for inside and outside corners,
only the bevel cut position is always 30° and the mitre cut is
351/4° to the left or right.
1. Set the mitre angle to 31.62* to the right. A positive stop is
provided for the fast setting of that mitre angle. Set the saw
blade at a bevel angle of 33.9°.
2. Place the cornice on the saw table with the ceiling side of
the cornice against the guide fence and make the cut! Note
that you need to use a vice to hold the workpiece firmly
against the table. The piece of cornice used for the out-
side corner is always t o the right of the blade.The piece of
cornice used for the inside corner is always to the left of the
blade.
3. To make the corresponding halves of inside and outside
corners, simply set the saw to the 31.62° left-hand mitre po-
sition. A positive stop is provided for the fast setting of that
mitre angle. The saw blade has already been set t o the bevel
angle of 33.9° for the previous cut.
4. Place the cornice on the saw table with the wall side of
the cornice against the guide fence and make the cut. Note
again that you need to use a vice to hold the workpiece
firmly against the table. The piece of cornice used for the
outside corner is always to the right of the blade. The piece
of cornice used for the inside corner is always t o the left of
the blade.
