start the cut near the fence.
7. Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the
timber and enter the plastic kerf plate
8. 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.
WARNING:

For some types of plastic profiles, it is advisable to
follow the sequence in reverse order.

Performing a sliding cut (Fig. A, B, S)
1. Turn the saw head traverse lock
2. Push down the saw head

and let the saw head rise to it's highest position.
3. Place the wood to be cut against the sliding fence
secure it with the material clamp
4. Lower the saw head then pull it to the end of its travel.
5. Press the guard lock-up release lever

6. Totally depress the head to allow the blade to cut through
the timber and push the head back to complete the cut.
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.
WARNING: Remember to lock the saw head in the rear
position when the sliding cuts are finished.
Vertical mitre cross-cut (Fig. A, T)
1. Squeeze the mitre latch
the required angle.
2. The mitre latch will automatically locate at 0°, 15°, 22.5°,
31.62°, 45° and 50° both left and right. If any intermediate
angle is required hold the head firmly and lock by fastening
the mitre latch.
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 cross-cuts (Fig. P, U)
Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48° to the left. Bevels up
to 45° can be cut with the mitre arm set between zero and
a maximum of 45° mitre position right or left.

Quality of Cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables,
i.e. the material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired
for moulding andother precision work, a sharp (60-tooth
carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting rate 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.
Clamping the Workpiece (Fig. C, X)
and
WARNING: Always use a material clamp.
For best results use the material clamp
your saw.
To Install clamp
1. Insert it into the hole behind the fence. The clamp
should be facing toward the back of the mitre saw. Ensure
the groove on the clamp rod is fully inserted into the base
of the mitre saw. If the groove is visible, the clamp will not
be secure.
2. Rotate the clamp 180° toward the front of the mitre saw.
3. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, then use
the fine adjust knob to firmly clamp the workpiece.
NOTE: Place the clamp on the right side of the base when
beveling. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS UNPOWERED BEFORE
FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE
THE CLAMP DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE
SAW OR GUARDS.
Compound Mitre (Fig. W)
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut. This is the
type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides
like the one shown in figure W.
WARNING: If the cutting angle varies from cut to
cut, check that the bevel clamp handle and the mitre
clamping knob are securely tightened. These must be
tightened after making any changes in bevel or mitre.
•
The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the
proper bevel and mitre settings for common compound
mitre cuts.
•
To use the chart, select the desired angle "A" (Fig. W) of
your project and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in
the chart. From that point follow the chart straight down to
find the correct bevel angle and straight across to find the
correct mitre angle.
