(1) to the left to the desired bevel angle (between
0º and 45º). Tighten the bevel lock (7).
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence (11). If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave
side is placed against the fence, the board could break
and jam the blade.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the
opposite end of the timber with side support bars,
a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the
saw table.
8. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
9. Hold the operating handle (3) firmly and squeeze the
switch trigger (16). Allow the blade to reach maximum
speed.

blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out
of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before
removing the workpiece.
Compound mitre cut
A compound mitre cut
involves using a mitre angle
and a bevel angle at the
same time. It is used in
making picture frames, to
cut mouldings, making boxes
with sloping sides and for
roof framing. Always make a
test cut on a piece of scrap
wood before cutting into the
good material (fig. a).
1. Pull on the release knob (2) and lift the saw arm to its
