When mitring the end of a piece of wood with a small off-cut,

position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of

the blade with the greater angle to the fence:

left mitre, off-cut to the right

right mitre, off-cut to the left.

Bevel cross-cut (fig. A2, K1 & O)

Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48° to the left. Bevels up to 45° can be

cut with the mitre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45° mitre

position right or left.

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (19) and set the bevel as desired (fig. A2).

• Use the 45°/48° adjustment handle (58) if required (fig. K1).

• Tighten the bevel clamp handle (19) firmly (fig. A2).

• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.

Compound mitre (fig. P1 & P2)

This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut. This is the type of cut

used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one shown in

fig. P1.

If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that the bevel

clamp handle and the mitre clamping knob are securely

tightened. These must be tightened after making any changes

in bevel or mitre.

• The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and

mitre settings for common compound mitre cuts. To use the chart,

select the desired angle “A” (fig. P2) of your project and locate that

angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. From that point follow the

chart straight down to find the correct bevel angle and straight across

to find the correct mitre angle.

• Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts.

• Practice fitting the cut pieces together.

• Example: To make a 4 sided box with 30 exterior angles

(angle “A”, fig. P2), use the upper right arc. Find 30 on the arc scale.

• Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side to get the mitre

angle setting on the saw (23°).

• Likewise follow the vertical intersecting line to the top or bottom to get

the bevel angle setting on the saw (40°).

• Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to verify the settings on

the saw.

Never exceed the compound mitre limits of 45° bevel with 45°

left or right mitre.

Clamping the workpiece (fig. A3)

Always use a material clamp when cutting non-ferrous metals.

• In most cases, the action of the blade is sufficient to hold the material

firmly against the fence.

• If the material has a tendency to lift or come forward from the fence,

preferably use the optional material clamp (28).

Sawing short workpieces (fig. A4)

It is advisable to use the length stop for short workpieces (32) both for

batch sawing and for short individual workpieces of different lengths.

The length stop can only be used in conjunction with a pair of optional

guide rails (26).

Sawing long workpieces (fig. A3)

Always support long workpieces.

Figure A3 shows the ideal configuration for sawing long workpieces when

the saw is used free-standing (all items available as an option).

These items (except the legstand and the material clamp) are required

both on the infeed and the outfeed side:

- Legstand (31) (supplied with mounting instructions).

- Guide rails (500 or 1,000 mm) (26).

- Stands (30) to support the guide rails. Do not use the stands to

support the machine! The height of the stands is adjustable.

- Material support plates (27).

- Table end plate (25) for supporting the rails (also when working on an

existing bench).

- Material clamp (28).

- Swivelling stop (29).

• Place your saw on the legstand and fit the guide rails.

• Firmly screw the material support plates (27) to the guide rails (26).

The material clamp (28) now functions as a length stop.

• Install the table end plates (25).

• Install the swivelling stop (29) to the rear rail.

• Use the swivelling stop (29) to adjust the length of medium and long

workpieces. It can be adjusted sideways or swung out of the way

when not in use.

Using the roller table (fig. A3 & A5)

The roller table (33) makes the handling of large and long pieces of wood

very easy (fig. A5). It can be connected either to the left or to the right of the

machine. The roller table requires the use of the optional legstand (fig. A3).

Assemble the roller table following the instructions supplied

with the legstand.

• Replace the short support bars provided with the legstand with the

irregular rails from the table on the side the table is to be used.

• Follow all instructions provided with the roller table.
