the workpiece while pulling out. The saw may run toward
you, possibly causing personal injury or damage to the
workpiece.
If the sliding feature is not used, ensure the saw head is
pushed back as far as possible and the rail lock knob is
tightened. This will prevent the saw from sliding along its
rails as the workpiece is engaged.
Note:
Although this saw will cut wood and many non-
ferrous materials, we will limit our discussion to the cutting
of wood only. The same guidelines apply to the other mat
erials. DO NOT CUT FERROUS (IRON AND STEEL) MAT
ERIALS OR MASONRY WITH THIS SAW. Do not use any
abrasive blades.
Vertical Straight Cross Cut (Fig. 1, 2, 24)
NOTE: Always use 254 mm saw blades to obtain the
desired cutting capacities.
1. Loosen the mitre lock knob (e) and depress the mitre
detent (t) to release the mitre arm.
2. Engage the mitre latch at the 0° position and tighten the
mitre lock knob (e).
3. Place the wood to be cut against the fence (c, v).
4. Take hold of the operating handle (a) and push the lock-
off lever (dd) to the left..
5. Press the trigger switch (l) to start the motor.
6. Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the
timber and enter the plastic kerf plate (s).
7. After completing the cut, release the switch and wait for
the saw blade to come to a complete standstill before
returning the head to its upper rest position.
Vertical Mitre Cross-cuts (Fig. 1, 2, 25)
1.
Loosen the mitre lock knob (e) and depress the mitre
detent (t). Move the head left or right to the required
angle.
2.
The mitre detent will automatically locate at 0º, 15º,
22.5º , 31.6ºand 45º. if any intermediate angle or 52º
is required hold the head firmly and lock by tightening
the mitre lock knob (e).
3.
Always ensure that the mitre lock lever is locked
tightly before cutting.
4.
Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
WARNING: When mitring the end of a piece of
wood with a small off-cut, position the wood to
ensure that the off-cut is to the side of the blade
with the greater angle to the fence; i.e. left mitre,
off-cut to the right - right mitre, off-cut to the left.
Bevel Cuts (Fig. 1, 2, 26)
Bevel angles can be set from 45º right to 45° left and can
be cut with the mitre arm set between zero and a maximum
of 45° mitre position right or left.
1. Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (k) and slide the
upper part of the left side fence (v) to the left as far as it
will go. Loosen the bevel clamp knob (p) and set the bevel
as desired.
2. Tighten the bevel clamp knob (p) firmly.
3. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.

Bevel Override (Fig. 27)
The bevel stop override allows you to bevel the saw to
the right past the 0° position. When engaged, the saw will
automatically stop at 0° when brought up from the left. To
temporarily move past 0° to the right, pull the bevel lock
knob (fff). Once the knob is released, the override will
be reengaged. The bevel lock knob can be locked out by
twisting the knob 90°. When at 0°, the override locks in
place. To operate the override, bevel the saw slightly to
the left.
Quality of Cuts
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of
variables factors, e.g. the material being cut. When
smoothest cuts are desired for moulding and other
precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade is
recommended for wood, a sharp (80-120 tooth carbide)
blade is recommended for aluminum, even cutting speed
will produce the desired results.
WARNING: Ensure that the material does not
creep while cutting; clamp it securely in place.
Always let the blade come to a full stop before
raising the arm. If small fibres of wood still split
out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking
tape on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through
the tape and carefully remove tape when finished.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length (Fig. 28)
The length stop (ee) can be used for easily sawing
workpieces to the same length.
The length stop is mounted on the saw work support(ii).
– Unfold the length stop(ee)
– Set the saw work support(ii) to the required length
Extending the Saw Table (Fig. 28)
1. Always support long pieces.
2. For best results, use the extension work support (ii)
to extend the table width of your saw. Support long
workpieces using any convenient means such as
saw-horses or similar devices to keep the ends from
dropping.
3. Loosen the knob(h), extend the work support(ii) as
needed. Then tighten the knob(h).
Clamping the Workpiece (Fig. 3, 29, 30)
1. Whenever possible, clamp the workpiece to the saw.
2. For best results use the clamp (gg) made for use with
your saw. Clamp the workpiece to the fence whenever
possible. You can clamp to either side of the saw blade;
remember to position your clamp against a solid, flat
surface of fence.
3. Mounting the clamp: Inserting the vertical clamp to the
holes(qq) as shown in Fig. 29, then rotate to the right
position. If horizontal clamp is needed, please mounting
bevel adjustments, one for the
