Any angle from 50 º left to 50 º right is available, and a protractor
scale can be found on the front of the machine table.
Positive stops are provided at 0 º and 15 º , 22.5 º , 30 º and 45 º to
the RH and LH side.

Loosen the mitre angle locking screw. This is situated on the
RH side of the machine table just above the 22.5 º index mark.
•
Push down the positive stop locking lever and turn the table
to the desired angle as indicated on the mitre protractor
scale by using the cutting handle. Lock in the required
position by tightening the mitre angle locking screw.

insert to aid accurate setting.

If utilizing the positive stop facility it is still good practice to
lock the table into position using the mitre locking screw
•
Start the saw and allow it to reach full operating speed
before making the cut.
