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.
