• Always push the Cutting Head to the full rear position during
each cut. (Fig. 28)
• When the cut has been completed, release the trigger switch
and allow the blade to come to 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.
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 workpiece, 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 workpiece
it can be lowered and pushed rearwards towards the fence to
complete the cut.
MITRE CUTTING
(Fig. 29)
The rotary table of this machine can be turned through 45
left or right from the normal cross-cut (0
Positive stops are provided at 45
right hand and left hand sides.
Mitre Cutting is possible with or without the Sliding Carriage
system being deployed.
• Loosen the Mitre Lock Handle (Fig. 30) by turning it
anti-clockwise.
• Pull up the Positive Stop Locking Lever. (Fig. 31a)
• Turn the rotary table to the desired angle. A mitre angle
protractor scale is incorporated into the machines base to
aid setting.
• Tighten the Mitre Lock Handle when the angle is achieved.
Note: It is good practice to tighten the Mitre Lock Handle
even if a Positive Stop has been selected and the Positive Stop
Locking Lever is engaged.
Note: When fitting the Mitre Saw to a Mitre Stand, the plastic
block under the Positive Stop Locking Lever should be removed
by unscrewing the crosshead screw underneath(Fig. 31b)
. This will allow the saw base to rotate to 45˚ without fouling the
Mitre Stand Mounting Brackets.
