CHOP CUTTING
This type of cut is used mainly for cutting small or narrow section
material. The cutting head is gently pushed down
to cut through the workpiece.
• Place the workpiece on the table and against the fence and
secure with clamp(s) as appropriate.
• Take hold of the cutting handle.
• Turn the motor on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
• Lower the cutting handle downwards and cut through the
workpiece.
• Allow the speed of the blade to do the work, there is no need to
apply undue pressure to the cutting handle.
• When the cut has been completed, release the ON/OFF trigger
switch.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Allow the cutting head to rise to its upper position, with the
lower blade guard completely covering the blade teeth, and the
cutting head locked in the upper position, before releasing the
cutting handle.
• Remove the workpiece.
MITRE CUTTING (Fig. 17)
The rotary table of this machine can be turned through 45° to the
left or right from the normal cross-cut (0° mitre) position.
Positive stops are provided at 45°, 30°, 22.5°, 15°, and 0° to both the
right hand and left hand sides.
• Loosen the mitre locking screw (Fig. 18) by turning
it anti-clockwise.
• Turn the rotary table to the desired angle. A mitre angle scale is
incorporated into the rotary table
to aid setting.
• Tighten the mitre locking screw when the desired
angle is achieved.
WARNING: It is important (and good practice) to tighten the
mitre locking screw even if a positive stop has been selected.
BEVEL TILTING THE CUTTING HEAD
A bevel cut (Fig. 19) is made with the rotary table set at
0° mitre angle.
Note: To provide clearance for the moving cutting head and to
accommodate the path of the blade, it may be necessary
to adjust the upper section of the fence. (See Page 15)
The cutting head can be tilted from the normal 0° (perpendicular
position) to a maximum angle of 45° from the perpendicular to the
left hand side only.
