1.Pull on the release knob (2) and lift the saw arm to its full height.
2.Loosen the mitre locks (15).
3.Rotate the mitre table (12) until the pointer aligns with zero on the mitre scale (13).
4.Retighten the mitre locks (15).
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, causing serious personal injury.
5.Loosen the bevel lock (7) and move the saw arm
(1)to the left to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (7).
6.Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (11). If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade.
7.When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with side support bars, a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
8.Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
9.Hold the operating handle (3) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (16). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
10.Press the release latch (17) and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
11.Release the switch trigger (16) 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.
Compound mitre cut
A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. It is used in making picture frames, to cut mouldings, making boxes with sloping sides and for roof framing. Always make a test cut on a piece
of scrap wood before cutting
into the good material (fig. a a).
