(Original instructions)

The Cut line System is independent of the mitre saw’s trigger

switch.

The light does not need to be on in order to operate the saw.

To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:

u Turn on the Cut line system, then pull down on the operat-

ing handle (18) to bring the saw blade close to the wood.

The shadow of the blade will appear on the wood.

u Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade’s shadow.

You may have to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order

to match the pencil line exactly.

Crosscuts

A crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at any

angle. A straight crosscut is made with the miter arm at the

zero degree position. Set and lock the miter arm at zero, hold

the wood rmly on the table and against the fence. With the

rail lock knob tightened, turn on the saw by squeezing the

trigger switch (19).

When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower

the arm smoothly and slowly to cut through the wood. Let the

blade come to a full stop before raising arm.

When cutting anything larger than a 51mm x 102mm, use an

out-down-back motion with the rail lock knob loosened.

Pull the saw out, toward you, lower the saw head down toward

the workpiece, and slowly push the saw back to complete the

cut. Do not allow the saw blade to contact the top of the work-

piece while pulling out. The saw may run toward you, possibly

causing personal injury or damage to the workpiece.

Warning! Always use a work clamp to maintain control and

reduce the risk of workpiece damage and personal injury.

Note: The rail lock knob must be loose to allow the saw

to slide along its rails.

Miter crosscuts are made with the miter arm at some angle

other than zero. This angle is often 45º for making corners, but

can be set anywhere from zero to 47º left or 47° right. Make

the cut as described above.

To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood,

match the angle as close as possible. Cut the wood a little too

long and measure from the pencil line to the cut edge to

determine which direction to adjust the miter angle and

recut. This will take some practice, but it is a commonly used

technique.

Body and hand position (Fig. O1 – O4)

Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the

miter saw will make cutting easier, more accurate and safer.

Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer

than 152 mm from the blade. Hold the workpiece tightly to

the table and the fence when cutting. Keep hands in position

until the trigger has been released and the blade has

completely stopped. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS

(UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT YOU

CAN CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE.

DO NOT CROSS HANDS, AS SHOWN IN FIGURE O3 and

O4.

Keep both feet rmly on the oor and maintain proper

balance. As you move the miter arm left and right, follow it and

stand slightly to the side of the saw blade. Sight through the

guard louvers when following a pencil line.

Bevelsquaretotableadjustment(Fig.P)

To align the blade square to the table, lock the arm in the

down position with the lock down pin. Place a square

against the blade, ensuring the square is not on top of a tooth.

Loosen the bevel lock knob and ensure the arm is rmly

against the 0° bevel stop. Rotate the 0° bevel adjustment

screw with the 10 mm spanner (not provided) as necessary so

that the blade is at 0° bevel to the table, as measured

with the square.

Cutting picture frames, shadow boxes and other

four-sided projects (Fig. Q1, Q2)

To best understand how to make the items listed here, we

suggest that you try a few simple projects using scrap wood

until you develop a “feel” for your saw.

Your saw is the perfect tool for mitering corners like the one

shown in Figure Q1. Sketch A in Figure Q2 shows a joint

made by using the bevel adjustment to bevel the edges of

the two boards at 45º each to produce a 90º corner. For this

joint the miter arm was locked in the zero position and the

bevel adjustment was locked at 45º. The wood was positioned

with the broad at side against the table and the narrow edge

against the fence. The cut could also be made by mitering

right and left with the broad surface against the fence.

Cutting trim molding and other frames (Fig. Q2)

Sketch B in Figure Q2 shows a joint made by setting the miter

arm at 45º to miter the two boards to form a 90º corner. To

make this type of joint, set the bevel adjustment to zero and

the miter arm to 45º. Once again, position the wood with the

broad at side on the table and the narrow edge against the

fence.

Figures Q1 and Q2 are for four-sided objects only.

As the number of sides changes, so do the miter and bevel

angles.
