Global Machinery Company TS1800 Making bevel cuts, Making cross cuts, Changing the saw blade

Making bevel cuts

1.Always use the fence when cutting bevels.

2.Set the saw blade to the required angle using the bevel adjustment knob.

3.Set the fence to suit the width and height of the workpiece.

4.Carry out the cut in accordance with the workpiece width.

Making cross cuts

WARNING. When cross cutting, do not use the rip fence as a length stop as the cut off piece could bind between the fence and the blade and cause kickback.

1.Push the mitre gauge into one of the two slots of the table saw and set it to the required angle. If you also want to set the saw blade at an angle, use the slot, which prevents your hand and the mitre gauge coming into contact with the saw blade.

2.Press the workpiece firmly against the mitre gauge.

3.Switch on the saw.

4.Push the mitre gauge and the workpiece toward the saw blade in order to make the cut.

IMPORTANT. Always hold the guided part of the workpiece. Never hold that part of the workpiece, which is being cut off. Always push the mitre gauge far enough forward for the workpiece to be cut through completely.

5.Switch off the saw.

6.Wait for the saw blade to stop before removing the off-cuts.

Changing the saw blade
