piece is cut at an angle other than 90° to the fence and material surface.

ADANGER

When making compound miter cuts the saw blade is much more exposed than during normal cuts and so the risk of injury increases. Always stay a sufficiently safe distance away from the saw blade.

For compound miter cuts the maximum dimensions of the work pieces depends on both cutting angles - the angle of the rotating table and the tilt angle of the sawhead. These are shown in the table below.

Starting position:

Sawhead assembly fully raised.

Cutting depth limit screw set to max- imum depth. Limit screw is securely tightened.

Rotating table locked in desired position.

Sawhead tilted to desired angle against the work piece's surface and locked.

If the sawhead assembly is tilted between 22.5° and 48° to the right: loosen the Phillips head screw and swing the hinged fence to the rear.

Lock screw of the track arm loos- ened.

Track arm not extended.

Cutting the work piece:

1.Hold the work piece against the fence.

2.Press and hold the ON/OFF switch .

3.Slowly swing the sawhead assembly all the way down, holding the handle firmly. When sawing exert only mod- erate pressure. This keeps the motor speed from dropping.

4.For wider work pieces pull sawhead assembly forward (towards the operator).

5.Cut work piece in a single pass.

6. Release the ON/OFF switch and let the sawhead slowly return to its upper starting position.

3Note:Crown moulding can be cut with the back on the saw table and the top edge against the fence.

8.5Making Grooves

3Note:During groove cutting only a par- tial cut, up to a certain depth, is made in the work piece. This operation is made possible by use of the track arm, which allows the sawhead assembly to move horizontally over the work piece and the limit screw, which allows for adjustment

of a given cutting depth.

ENGLISH

AWARNING

During the groove cutting operation it is especially important no lateral pressure is applied to the saw blade. Otherwise the sawhead may be kicked up abruptly! Always use a clamp to hold the work piece in place when making grooves. Avoid lateral pressure on the sawhead. Make sure that the work piece lies flat and does not jam.

Starting position:

Sawhead assembly fully raised.

Sawhead tilted to desired angle against the work piece's surface and locked.

Rotating table locked in desired position.

Lock screw of the track arm loos- ened.

Track arm not extended.

Cutting the work piece:

1.Adjust the cutting depth limit screw

(51)to the desired depth for the groove and then tighten it securely.

51

2.Hold the work piece against the fence.

3Note:For the groove to be cut at the desired depth across the whole work piece width, a suitable spacer strip needs to be placed between the work piece and the fence.

3.Press and hold the ON/OFF switch .

4.Slowly swing the sawhead assembly fully down, holding the handle firmly. When sawing exert only moderate pressure, to prevent the motor speed to drop too much.

5.When sawing, pull sawhead assem- bly forward (towards the operator).
