Use
Place your hands no closer than 150 mm from the blade.
u
Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when
u
cutting. Keep your hands in position until the switch has
been released and the blade has completely stopped.
Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts
u
so that you can check the path of the blade.
Do not cross your hands.
u
Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper
u
balance.
As you move the saw arm left and right, follow it and stand
u
slightly to the side of the saw blade.
Sight through the guard louvres when following a pencil
u
line.
Warning! Always fit a dust extration device when cutting
wood. A dust bag is provided. Fit the dust bag by squeezing
the metal clamps together on the opening of the dust bag then
placing it over the saw dust outlet (25) releasing the clamps
will then allow the dust bag to grip the saw dust outlet tightly.
Warning! Make sure that the workpiece is securely held
in place with the clamp before any cutting operation. The
minimum size of worpiece that can be used is (L) 150mm X
(W) 50mm X (H) 3mm. Severe personal injury can occur if the
workpiece is not secured.
Basic pullover mitre saw operations (fig. A, H & R)
Always use the clamp (53) to hold the workpiece firmly.
u
Two holes (45 - fig. H) and (16 - fig. A) are provided for the
clamp (53 fig. R). Ensure that the clamp (53) is pushed
firmly into the retaining hole before tightening the clamp
on the workpiece
Warning! Make sure that the workpiece is securely held in
place with the clamp before any cutting operation. Severe
personal injury can occur if the workpiece is not secured.
Always position the workpiece against the fence. Any
u
piece that is bowed or warped and cannot be held flat on
the table or against fence may trap the blade and should
not be used.
Pullover cut (fig. I & J)
Warning! Never pull the cutting head assembly and rotating
blade toward you during the cut. The blade may try to climb
up on the top of the workpiece, causing the cutting head
assembly and spinning blade to kick back. Never lower the
rotating saw blade down before pulling the cutting head to the
front of the saw.
Unlock the carriage (29) with the lock knob (48) and allow
u
the cutting head assembly to move freely (fig. J).
Move the cutting head to the required mitre angle and
u
bevel angle in accordance with the mitre cut and bevel cut
procedures.

Operating the high sliding fence for all bevel and
compound mitre cuts
The moveable part of the left side of the fence can be ad-
u
justed to provide maximum support of the work piece near
the blade, while allowing the saw to bevel to a full 47° left.
The sliding distance is limited by stops in both directions.
