 SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW

6. Cutting Operations

Crosscutting

When cutting a piece of wood it is not always necessary to use the slide mechanism. In these cases 
make sure that the slide lock knob (A) 

Fig.16

 is locked to prevent the saw arm from sliding.

A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A 90˚ crosscut is made with the mitre 
and the bevel angles are set at 0˚.

1.

 Pull and turn the saw head release knob (A) 

Fig.17

 and lift the saw head to its full height.

2. 

Loosen the mitre lock handle.

3.

 Rotate the mitre table using mitre handle until the pointer aligns with the 0º.

4. 

Retighten the mitre lock handle.

WARNING: 

Be sure to tighten the mitre lock handle before making a cut.

Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause serious personal injury.

5. 

Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, 

place the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is place against the fence, the board could 
break and jam the blade. 

6.

 When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the extension wing or 

an additional roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.

7.

 Use a vise or clamp to secure the workpiece whenever possible.

8.

 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no prob-

lems. 

9.

 Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed. 

10.

 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

11. 

Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating

before raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece.

Cutting Wide Workpieces

When cutting wide workpieces, you should use the sliding action, unlock the slide lock knob (A)

Fig.16
1

. Raise the saw head to its highest position and slide the blade towards you.

2. 

Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.

3.

 Slowly lower the blade into the workpiece and slide it away from you at the same time until the work-

piece is cut.

4.

 Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the

workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece. 

Bevel Cut

A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade angled to the fence and 
mitre table. The mitre table is set at the 0º position and the saw head is set at an angle between 0˚ and 45˚ 
to the right or to the left. 

1. 

Pull and turn the saw head release knob (A)

 Fig.17

 and lift the saw head to its full height.

2.

 Loosen the mitre lock handle.

3.

 Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with zero on mitre scale.

4. 

Retighten the mitre lock handle. 

WARNING: 

Be sure to tighten the mitre lock handle before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the

table moving during the cut and serious personal injury.
