7. PROPER CUTTING TECHNIQUE WHEN USING THE RADIAL DISPLACEMENT
Warning: Cutting by pulling the saw towards you can be dangerous; the saw can jump up and recoil. Always push the saw
to the back, away from yourself and towards the guide when making a cut using the slide. The following steps provide the
correct procedure for using the slide when cutting with your sliding compound mitre saw:
1. Place the piece to be cut on the saw table and against the guide. Hold the handle of the saw head but do not turn the saw
on yet.
2. Pull the saw head towards you with it in the up position. Once you've pulled the saw head towards you, press the trigger to
start it.
3. Press the latch and press on the saw head.
4. Push the saw head to the back and towards the guide to make the cut.
5. Release the trigger and leave the saw head down position until the blade stops completely.
6. Once the blade is stopped, raise the saw head to the uppermost position.
8. USING THE SAW TO CUT TO LENGTH
When cutting material that is sufficiently narrow to allow the blade to cut by performing an up and down movement (simi-
lar to that of a conventional mitre saw) instead of sliding the saw blade across the piece, the sliding movement of the saw
is locked in the back position by tightening the lock button of the radial displacement arm. The saw head is pushed down
to make the cut. When cutting is finished, release the trigger and let the blade stop completely before replacing the cutting
head in the up position.
9. CUTTING CURVED MATERIAL
Inspect your piece of wood before starting to cut. If
it is curved, position it against the guide with the curved
side as shown in figure opposite.
Y
CAUTION! If you do not cut your curved piece of wood
as shown above, you risk catching the blade. Your piece may
move abruptly, causing serious personal injury.
10. MITRE CUTS
1. Turn the table rotation handle (J) Fig.1 to unlock the table.
2. Using the same handle, move the saw table (H) to the desired angle.
3. Lock the table rotation handle (J) to secure the table in place before starting the cut.
4. Position yourself in alignment with the angle to make the cut.
Y
CAUTION!
Extend the guide on each side before attempting to make a mitre or bevel cut. The blade may come into contact with
the guide if the extensions are not completely extended.
11. BEVEL CUTS
The cutting head of your mitre saw can be tilted to cut any bevel angle from a straight cut at 90° to a bevel cut with an angle
of 45° to the right or left. For this, refer to "Setting the bevel of the saw head."
12. COMPOUND CUTS
A compound angle cut is a mitre and bevel cut made simultaneously. You must use the radial sliding mechanism when cut-
ting large pieces.
