There are two types of cuts that can be made with the
slide compound mitre saw.
Slide Cutting - Loosen the side lock knob and move the
cutting head towards the operator. The saw blade is lowered
into the workpiece and then pushed to the rear of the saw to
complete the cut. Used for cutting wide pieces.
1. Put wood against fence and secure with clamp as
appropriate.
2. Loosen the slide lock knob.
3. Grasp the saw handle and pull the carriage until the
arbor (centre of saw blade) is over the front edge of the
workpiece.
4. Press the lower guard unlock lever for saw head release.
5. Switch on the saw and allow the saw to reach full speed.
6. Push the saw handle all the way down and cut through the
leading edge of the workpiece.
7. Gently push the saw handle towards the fence completing
the cut.
8. Push power head to full rear position after each cut.
9. Release the trigger to switch off the saw and allow blade
to come to a complete stop before moving hands or remove
the workpiece.
Chop Cutting - The slide lock knob is tightened and the saw
handle is pushed down to cut through the workpiece. This
type of cut is used mainly for narrow pieces.
1. Slide the cutting head to the rear as far as it will go.
2. Lock slide lock knob.
3. Place the workpiece on table and against fence and secure
with clamp as appropriate.
4. Grasp the saw handle.
5. Turn on saw and allow the saw to reach full speed.

BODY AND HAND POSITION
1. Never place hands near cutting area and keep hand away
from the path of blade.
2. Hold workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent movement
toward the blade.
3. Before making a cut. Make a dry run with the power off so
you can see the path of the blade.
4. Keep hands in position until trigger has been released and
the blade has completely stopped.
MITRE CUT (Fig. 5)
An angle of up to 45° left or right can be obtained using
the unit.
1. Loosen the sliding rail locking knob, push the saw handle
back as far as it will go and lock the handle.
2 Loosen the mitre angle lock knob.
3. Pull up the mitre angle set lever.
4. Turn the table unit to the desired angle is indicated on the
mitre angle pointer.
5. Tighten the angle lock knob to hold the desired angle.
6. Start the saw and allow it to reach full speed before
commencing the cut.
BEVEL CUT (Fig. 6)
1. Lock the cutting head down with the cutting lock knob.
2. Loosen the bevel lock.
3. Adjust angle until the bevel angle point reaches the
desired bevel angle.
4. Tighten the bevel lock.

COMPOUND CUT
When a compound cut is required. Select the desired bevel
and mitre positions.
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (Fig 10 & 11)
Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is not
bowed. If it is bowed, the workpiece must be positioned and
cut as illustrated. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or
try to cut the workpiece without the support of the fence.
This will cause pinching of the workpiece on the blade. The
workpiece could suddenly jump or move and your hand
could hit the blade.
