3. Press the release latch (24)
(fig. k) and slowly lower thek blade into the workpiece
(fig. l) and slide it away from you at the same time until the workpiece is cut (fig. m).
4.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.

Bevel cut
A bevel cut is made by cutting
across the grain of the workpiecen 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. n).
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 locks (18).
3.Rotate the mitre table (16) until the pointer aligns with zero on the mitre scale (17).
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, causing serious personal injury.
5.Loosen the bevel lock (12) and move the saw arm (5) to the left to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (12).
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 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 (7) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (23). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
10.Press the release latch (24) and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
11.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.
Compound mitre cut
A compound mitre cut involves
using a mitre angle and a bevelo angle at the same time (fig. o).
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.
Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces.
1.Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the saw arm to its full height.
