Cross-cutting (without slide action)

When cutting a narrow piece of

wood it is not necessary to useg the slide mechanism. In these

cases ensure that the saw head is pushed back and the slide lock

(22)is screwed down to prevent the saw arm from sliding (fig. g).

A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A 90º crosscut is

made with the mitre table set at 0º. Mitre crosscuts are made with the table set at some angle other than zero.

1.Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the saw arm (5) to its full height.

2.Loosen the mitre locks (18).

3.Rotate the mitre table (16) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.

4.Retighten the mitre locks (18).

WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre locks before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving

during the cut and cause serious personal injury.

5.Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (19). If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence (19). If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade.

6.When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.

7.Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems.

8.Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (23). Allow the blade to

reach maximum speed.

9.Press the release latch (24) (fig. h) and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

10.Release the switch trigger (23) and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.

Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece.
