c
Set the bevel angle at 0° position.
d
Properly position the work piece with a
thickness equal to the maximum vertical
cutting capacity on either side of saw
blade. Make sure the work piece is
clamped firmly against the table and the
fence.
e
Release the arm-lock pin, press the saw
arm the fully down position, then release
the saw arm, it will springs back to the
uppermost position. Repeat this process
for several times, to ensure the lower
blade guard work properly, without
binding, jam.
Crosscut and mitre crosscut with
or without sliding function (see
figure T)
A crosscut is a cut made across the grain of
the work piece.
– For narrow workpiece, it can be cut through
by a single cut. Perform this kind of cut by
using non-sliding cutting method, tighten the
sliding –lock knob (35) to fix the saw head in
the closest position in relation to fence.
– For wide workpiece, release the sliding-lock
knob, so that the saw head can slides along
its guide rods from the most distant point to
closet position in relation to the fence to
perform the cut.
A straight crosscut is a cut made with the
mitre table set at the 0° position. Mitre
crosscuts are made with the mitre table set
at an angle other than 0°, either left or right.
Mitre angle setting see related section:
Adjusting Mitre-Angle
Here raise a most complicate example: mitre
crosscut with sliding function.
WARNING!
Never pull the saw toward you during a cut.
The blade can suddenly climb up on top of
the work piece and force itself toward you
a
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b
Properly position the work piece. Make
sure the work piece is clamped firmly
against the table and the fence.
c
Turn the mitre table to desired angle, and
secure the mitre table in place.
d
Loosen the sliding-lock knob
e
Attach the battery pack to the saw.
f
Grasp the main handle and turn on the
on/off switch. Always allow the blade to
34
reach full speed before cutting.
g
Lower the saw arm all the way down, and
cut through the edge of the work piece.
h
Push (but do not force) the saw arm
toward the fence all the way to the rear
position to complete the cut.
i
Release the On/Off switch. Wait until the
blade comes to a complete stop before
returning the saw arm to the raised
position, then remove the work piece.
Bevel Cutting (see figure U)
A bevel cut is a cut made across the grain of
the work piece with the blade at an angle
other than 90° to the mitre table and the work
piece. A straight bevel cut is made with the
mitre table set at the 0° position and with the
saw head set at a bevel angle.
Here raise a straight bevel cut without sliding
function as an example:
a
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b
Properly position the work piece. Make
sure the work piece is clamped firmly
against the table and the fence.
c
Set the mitre table at 0° position, secure
the mitre table in place. Lock the saw
head in the closest position in relation to
the fence.
d
Tilt the saw head to desired angle,
tighten the bevel-lock knob.
e
Attach the battery pack to the saw.
f
Grasp the main handle and turn on the
on/off switch. Always allow the blade to
reach full speed before cutting.
g
Lower the saw arm all the way down, and
cut through the work piece.
h
Release the On/Off switch. Wait until the
blade comes to a complete stop before
returning the saw arm to the raised
position, then remove the work piece.
Compound Cutting (see figure V)
A compound mitre cut is a cut made using
a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same
time.
a
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b
Properly position the work piece. Make
sure the work piece is clamped firmly
against the table and the fence.
c
Rotate the mitre table to desired angle
and secure the mitre table in place. Lock
the saw head in the closest position in
relation to the fence.
