completely covering the blade teeth, and the
cutting head locked in the upper position,
before releasing the Cutting Handle.
WARNING: Never pull the cutting head and
spinning blade towards you when making a
sliding cut. The blade may try to climb up on
top of the work-piece, causing the cutting
head to 'kickback' forcefully.
The cutting head should always be positioned
as outlined above before attempting to make
a sliding cut. When the cutting head is in the
correct position above the work-piece it can
be lowered and pushed rearwards towards
the fence to complete the cut.
MITRE CUTTING (Fig. 58)
The rotary table of this machine can be turned
through 50˚ to the left or right from the normal
cross-cut (0˚) position.
Positive stops are provided at 45˚, 30˚, 22.5˚ and
15˚ to both the right hand and left hand sides.
Mitre Cutting is possible with or without the
sliding carriage system being deployed.
• Loosen the mitre handle locking knob (Fig. 56)
by turning the locking knob anti-clockwise.
• Pull up the positive stop locking lever. (Fig. 57)
• Turn the rotary table to the desired angle.
Note: A protractor scale is incorporated into
the machines base to aid setting.
• Tighten the mitre handle locking knob when
the angle is achieved.
Note: It is good practice to tighten the Mitre
Locking Knob even when a positive stop is
selected and the Positive Stop Locking Lever is
positively engaged.
BEVEL CUTTING BY
TILTING THE CUTTING HEAD
A bevel cut (Fig. 55) is made with the rotary table
set at 0˚ mitre angle.
Note: It may be necessary to adjust the upper
section of the sliding fence to provide clearance
for the moving cutting head. (Fig. 29-30)
The cutting head can be tilted from the normal 0˚
(perpendicular position) to a maximum angle of
45˚ from the perpendicular to the left hand side
only. Bevel cutting is possible with or without the
sliding carriage system being deployed.
Note: A positive stop is provided at 33.9˚ Bevel
angle. This is accessed by deploying (pushing
inwards) the 33.9˚ Bevel Pin. (Fig. 59) Normally
the Bevel Pin should be left in the un-deployed
(pulled out) position.
To tilt the cutting head to the left:
• Loosen the bevel lock handle. (Fig. 60)
• Tilt the cutting head to the required angle.
A protractor scale is provided as an aid to
setting. (Fig 61)
• Tighten the bevel lock handle when the
desired angle has been selected.
• Stand to the left side of the Cutting Handle
when making a cut.
When cutting is completed:
• Release the ON/OFF trigger switch to switch
off the motor, but keep your hands in position.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Allow the cutting head has to rise to its
upper position, with the lower blade guard
completely deployed and covering the blade
before removing yours hand(s).
• Return the cutting head to the
perpendicular position.
COMPOUND CUTTING (Fig. 62)
A compound cut is a combination of a mitre
and bevel cut employed simultaneously.
When a compound cut is required, select the
desired bevel and mitre positions as
previously described.
Note: Compound Cutting with the sliding
carriage system deployed is possible.
Always check that the sliding blade does not
interfere with the machines fence or any other
parts of the machine. Adjust the upper left
hand section of the sliding fence if necessary.
