PREPARING TO MAKE A CUT

DO NOT OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance. Stand to one side so that your
face and body are out of line of a possible kickback.
FREEHAND CUTTING IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
AND MUST NOT BE ATTEMPTED.
• Ensure that the workpiece is always firmly resting against the
Fig. 21 fence, and where practical is clamped with the Hold Down
Clamp to the table.
• The saw table should be clean and free from any sawdust etc.
before the workpiece is clamped into position.
• Ensure that the 'cut-off' material is free to move sideways
away from the blade when the cut is completed. Ensure that
the 'cut-off' piece cannot become 'jammed' in any other part
of the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece
being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within
150mm (5-9/10") of the sawblade, the workpiece is too small.

THE MOTOR ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig. 21)
The ON / OFF Motor Trigger Switch is a non-latching type. It
is the upper of the two switches that are positioned inside the
Cutting HANDLE.
• Press the switch to start the motor.
• Release the switch to turn off the motor.

CHOP CUTTING

This type of cut is used mainly for cutting small or narrow
Fig. 23
section material. The Cutting Head is gently pushed down to cut
through the workpiece.
The Sliding Carriage should be locked in its rearmost
position. (Fig. 22)
• Slide the Cutting Head to the rear as far as it will go.
• Tighten the slide lock screw. (Fig. 23)
• Place the workpiece on the table and against the fence and
secure with clamp(s) as appropriate.
• Grasp the saw handle.
• Turn the motor on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
• Press the lower guard locking trigger to release the Cutting Head.

The Lower Guard Locking Trigger (Fig. 24)
• Lower the Cutting Handle downwards and cut through
the workpiece.
• Allow the speed of the blade to do the work, there is no need
to apply undue pressure to the Cutting Handle.
• When the cut has been completed, release the
ON/OFF trigger switch.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Allow the Cutting Head to rise to its upper position, with
the lower blade guard completely covering the blade teeth,
and the Cutting Head locked in the upper position, before
releasing the Cutting Handle.
• Remove the workpiece.

SLIDE CUTTING

This saw is equipped with a Sliding Carriage system.
Loosening the slide lock screw will release the slide and allow
the Cutting Head to move forwards and backwards. (Fig. 25)
The saw blade is lowered into the workpiece and then pushed
to the rear of the machine to complete a cut. This type of cut
can be used for cutting wide pieces.
• Position the workpiece on the table and against the fence
and secure with clamp(s) as appropriate.
• Loosen the slide lock screw.
• Grasp the Cutting Handle and pull the Cutting Head forward
until the arbor (centre of saw blade) is over the front edge of
the workpiece. (Fig. 26)
• Operate the ON / OFF motor trigger switch and allow the
saw blade to reach full speed.
• Press the lower blade guard locking trigger for
Cutting Head release.
• Push the Cutting Handle all the way down and cut through
the leading edge of the workpiece.
• Gently push the Cutting Handle rearwards towards the fence
completing the cut.
• Always push the Cutting Head to the full rear position
during each cut. (Fig. 27)
• When the cut has been completed, release the trigger
switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Allow the Cutting Head to rise to its upper position, with
the lower blade guard completely covering the blade teeth,
and the Cutting Head locked in the upper position, before
releasing the Cutting Handle.
