Cross-cutting

 

t

(with slide action)

 

When cutting wide workpieces, first unscrew the slide lock (29).

1.Pull on the release knob (6), raise the saw arm (5) to its highest position and slide it towards you (fig. t).

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

3.Press the release latch (36) and slowly lower the blade into the workpiece and slide it away from you at the same time until the workpiece is cut.

4.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.

Bevel cut

 

u

A bevel cut is made by

 

cutting across the grain of

 

the workpiece with the blade

 

angled to the fence and

 

mitre table. The mitre table

 

is set at the zero degree

 

position and the blade set

 

at an angle between 0º and

 

45º (fig. u).

 

Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces.

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

2.Loosen the mitre lock (25).

3.Rotate the mitre table (21) until the pointer aligns with zero on the mitre scale (22).

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, causing serious personal injury.

5.Loosen the bevel lock (16) and pull out the 0º bevel adjuster. Move the saw arm (5) to the left or right to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (16).

6.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.

7.When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the side bars (37), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.

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

9.It is possible to remove 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.

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

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

12.Press the release latch (36) and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

13.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.
