BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW
●
Never leave tool running
unattended. Turn power OFF. Wait
for all moving parts to stop.
● Make workshop childproof. Lock the
shop. Disconnect master switches.
Store tool away from children and
other unqualifi ed users.
To avoid injury from materials being
thrown, always unplug the saw
to avoid accidental starting, and
remove small pieces of material
from the table cavity.
MITER CUT (FIG. Y)
1. When a miter cut is required, unlock
the miter table by turning the miter
handle (1) counterclockwise.
2. While holding the miter handle, lift
up on the positive stop locking lever
(2).
3. Rotate the miter table to the right or
left with the miter handle.
4. When the table is in the desired
position, as shown on the miter
scale (3), release the positive stop
locking lever and tighten the miter
handle. The table is now locked at
the desired angle. Positive stops are
provided at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and
45°.
IMPORTANT: Always tighten the
miter table lock handle before
performing every cutting operation.
Fig. Y
The sliding fence must be extended
to the left when making bevel cuts.
The sliding fences note three bevel
angles where the user must adjust
the fences to match the degree of
the bevel cut. Failure to extend the
sliding fence will not allow enough
space for the blade to pass through
which could result in serious injury.
At extreme miter or bevel angles
the saw blade may also contact the
fence.
BEVEL CUT (FIG. Z)
1. When a bevel cut is required, loosen
the bevel lock handle (1) by turning
it clockwise.
2. Tilt the cutting head to the desired
angle, as shown on the bevel scale
(2).
3. The blade can be positioned at any
angle, from a 90° straight cut (0
° on the scale) to a 45° left bevel.
Tighten the bevel lock handle (1)
to lock the cutting head in position.
Positive stops are provided at 0°,
33.9° and 45°.
