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 (28) is screwed down to prevent the saw arm
from sliding.
A crosscut is made by cutting
across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90º crosscut is
made with the mitre table set
at 0º (Fig. p). Mitre crosscuts
are made with the table set at
some angle other than zero.
1. Pull on the release knob
(5) and lift the saw arm (4)
to its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (24).
3. Rotate the mitre table (20) until the pointer aligns with
the desired angle.
4. Retighten the mitre lock (24).
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 (18). 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, a roller stand
or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
7. Use the clamp assembly (9) to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.

8. It is possible to remove
the clamp assembly (9)
by loosening the clamp
assembly lock (10) and
moving it to the other side
of the table. Make sure the
clamp assembly lock is
tight before using the clamp
(Fig. q).
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 (6) firmly and squeeze the
switch trigger (23). Allow the blade to reach maximum
speed 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.

Cross-cutting (with slide action)

When cutting wide
workpieces, first unscrew the
slide lock (28).
1. Pull on the release knob (5),
raise the saw arm (4) to its
highest position and slide it
towards you (Fig. s).
2. Hold the handle firmly and
squeeze the switch trigger
(23). Allow the blade to
reach maximum speed.
3. 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 (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.
