3. Press the release latch (24)

(fig. k) and slowly lower the

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 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. 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 bevel

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.
