OPERATION
TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT
See Figure 26.
Bevel 45° cuts can be made using this saw.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Slide the saw table to the front of the water tray before
tilting the saw head.
 Loosen the bevel knob.
 Set the saw arm to a 45° angle and tighten the bevel
knob.
 Loosen the lock knob on the motor head.
 Adjust the height of the motor head to ensure the cutting
wheel does not make contact with the saw table and
tighten the lock knob.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the material firmly against the sliding table fence
and feed the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing
any part of the material.
TO MAKE A PLUNGE CUT
See Figure 27.
Plunge cuts are made by positioning the material directly
underneath the cutting wheel and lowering the wheel onto
the workpiece. This allows pieces to be cut from the center
of the material.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Loosen the lock knob on the motor head and position
the motor head upward to its maximum height.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
 Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for
the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the
wheel.
 Hold the motor head firmly by the handle.
 Move the material into the desired position for cutting.
 Slowly lower the motor head into the material to make
the cut.
 Raise the motor head.
 Turn the on/off switch to the OFF position.
 Slide the table away from the motor head then position
the work material for the next cut.
