Cross-cutting (without slide action)

When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is not necessary to use the slide mechanism. In these cases ensure that the slide lock (29) is screwed down to prevent the saw arm from sliding.

A crosscut is made by cutting

q

across the grain of the

 

workpiece. A 90º crosscut is

 

made with the mitre table

 

set at 0º (fig. q). 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 lock (25).

3.Rotate the mitre table (21) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.

4.Retighten the mitre lock (25).

WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre lock 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. 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 the side support bars (37), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.

7.Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure the workpiece wherever possible.

8. It is possible to remove

 

r

the clamp assembly (10)

by loosening the clamp

 

assembly lock (11) and

 

moving it to the other side

 

of the table. Make sure

 

the clamp assembly lock

 

is tight before using the

 

clamp (fig. r).

 

9.Before turning on the saw,

perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems.

10.Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (24). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.

11.Press the release latch (36) (fig. s) and slowly lower the blade into and

through the workpiece.

s

12.Release the switch trigger (24) 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.
