Mitre cuts (fig. A1 & L3)
• Release the mitre latch lever (9) and the mitre clamp lever (10) (fig. A1).
• Swing the arm to the required angle on the mitre scale.
• For 45° left or right, engage the mitre latch lever (9) and lock with the
mitre clamp lever (10).
• For intermediate angles, use the mitre clamp lever only.
• Proceed as for cross-cutting.
In the case of left-hand mitre, you may have to slide the fence
and the strips to the left.
Bevel cuts (fig. A1, E2 & L2)
• Set the arm as for a 0° cross-cut.
• Raise the blade well above the table surface.
• Release the bevel clamp lever (37) and pull out the bevel latch (38) (fig. E2).
• Tilt the motor to the required angle on the bevel scale (20) (fig. A1).
• For 90° or 45° right, engage the bevel latch (38) and lock with the bevel
clamp lever (37).
• For intermediate angles, use the bevel clamp lever only.
• Proceed as for a vertical cross-cut.
Ripping (fig. L5, G2, H1 & H2)
The motor can be locked in in-rip or out-rip position as shown in figures
H1 & H2 to adapt the machine to narrow and wide workpieces
respectively.
• Lock the yoke in pulled out position using the riplock.
• Release the yoke clamp lever (53) and press the yoke latch (54) to
rotate the motor to the appropriate position until it locks in place (fig. H1).
• Tighten the yoke clamp lever (53) and position the fence accordingly.
• Position the yoke along the arm for the desired width of cut, using the
rip scale (76) and lock it in position using the riplock.
• Adjust the blade guard as described above and turn the dust extraction
adaptor (59) away from your face (fig. G2). Remember that ripping
requires the use of the riving knife (62) and the anti-kickback fingers (60)
(fig. H2).
• Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, keeping it firmly pressed onto
the table and against the fence. Allow the teeth to cut and do not force
the workpiece through the blade. The blade speed should be kept
constant.
Always use a push stick.
Bevel ripping
• Set the machine in the bevel crosscut position.
• Rotate the yoke into rip position.
• Position the yoke for the correct ripping width.
• Angle the anti-kickback fingers so that they will be flat on the
workpiece and lower the riving knife.
• Proceed as for ripping.
Compound mitre (fig. L4)
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.
• Set the required bevel angle.
• Swing the arm to the required mitre position.
• Proceed as for mitre cuts.
