Crosswise sawing
• Remove the fence and apply the cross-cut
fence in the righthand carriage.
• Adjust the height of the saw blade (see
lengthwise sawing).
• Press the workpiece against the cross-cut
fence and keep at least 2,5 cm distance from
the front of the saw blade.
• Switch on the engine and wait until the
maximum number of revolutions has been
reached.
• Press the workpiece against the fence and
the bench. Carefully push the wood through
the saw blade. Continue until behind the saw
blade. Then switch off the engine and keep
this position until the saw blade has stopped
completely before you remove the wood.
• Never pull the wood back. If necessary, switch
the engine off and keep the position until the
saw blade has stopped completely.
Crosswise sawing with a vertical mitre
This method is practically the same, except that
the saw blade is placed in the angle required.
Only place the cross-cut fence on the
righthand side of the saw blade. Never
saw too small pieces of wood. Never use
your hands to carry out difficult
operations.
Crosswise sawing with a horizontal mitre
With this method the cross-cut fence must
be secured at the angle required. Keep the
workpiece pressed firmly against the cross-cut
fence and the bench before you start cutting off.
