to come to a complete stop before moving hands or remove
the workpiece.
Chop Cutting - The slide lock knob is tightened and the saw
handle is pushed down to cut through the workpiece. This
type of cut is used mainly for narrow pieces.
1. Slide the cutting head to the rear as far as it will go.

BODY AND HAND POSITION
1. Never place hands near cutting area and keep hand away
from the path of blade.
2. Hold workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent movement
toward the blade.

you can see the path of the blade.

the blade has completely stopped.
MITRE CUT (Fig. 5)
An angle of up to 45° left or right can be obtained using
the unit.
1. Loosen the sliding rail locking knob, push the saw handle
back as far as it will go and lock the handle.
2 Loosen the mitre angle lock knob.
3. Pull up the mitre angle set lever.
4. Turn the table unit to the desired angle is indicated on the
mitre angle pointer.
5. Tighten the angle lock knob to hold the desired angle.
6. Start the saw and allow it to reach full speed before
commencing the cut.
BEVEL CUT (Fig. 6)

COMPOUND CUT
When a compound cut is required. Select the desired bevel
and mitre positions.
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (Fig 10 & 11)
Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is not
bowed. If it is bowed, the workpiece must be positioned and
cut as illustrated. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or
try to cut the workpiece without the support of the fence.
This will cause pinching of the workpiece on the blade. The
workpiece could suddenly jump or move and your hand
could hit the blade.
