• Switch the machine on and allow the blade to
reach full speed.
• Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the
guard, keeping it firmly pressed against the rip
fence. Allow the teeth to cut, and do not force
the workpiece through the blade. The blade
speed should be kept constant.
• Remember to use the push stick (u) when close
to the blade.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine
off, allow the blade to stop and remove the
workpiece.
WARNING:
• Never push or hold the "free" or cut-
off-side of the workpiece.
• Do not cut excessively small
workpieces.
• Always use a push stick when
ripping small workpieces.
Bevel cuts
• Set the required bevel angle.
• Proceed as for ripping.
Cross-cutting (fi g. 18)
• Remove the rip fence and install the mitre fence
in the desired slot.
• Lock the mitre fence at 0°.
• Set the bevel angle to 0°.
• Adjust the saw blade height.
• Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against
the fence. Keep the workpiece away from the
blade.
• Keep both hands away from the path of the
saw blade.
• Switch the machine on and allow the saw blade
to reach full speed.
• Hold the workpiece tightly against the fence
and slowly move the workpiece together with
the fence assembly until the workpiece comes
underneath the upper blade guard. Allow the
teeth to cut, and do not force the workpiece
through the saw blade. The saw blade speed
should be kept constant.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine
off, allow the saw blade to stop and remove the
workpiece.
Bevel cross-cutting
• Set the required bevel angle.
• Proceed as for cross-cutting.
Mitre cuts
• Set the mitre fence to the required angle.
• Proceed as for cross-cutting.
Compound mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.
• Set the bevel to the angle required and proceed
as for a cross-cut mitre.
Support for long pieces
• Always support long pieces.
• Support long workpieces using any convenient
means such as saw-horses or similar devices to
keep the ends from dropping.
Dust extraction (fig. 2)
The machine is provided with a dust exhaust port at
the rear of the machine (i) suitable for use with dust
extraction equipment featuring 57/65 mm nozzles.
Supplied with the machine is a reducer port for use
of dust extraction nozzles of 34-40 mm diameter.
• During all operations, connect a dust extraction
device designed in accordance with the relevant
regulations regarding dust emission.
• Ensure that the dust extraction hose in use is
suitable for the application and material being
cut.
• Be aware that man-made materials such as
chipboard or MDF produce more dust particles
during cutting than natural timber.
Transporting (fi g. 1)
• Tidy the mains cable
• Always carry the machine at the hand
indentations (c).
WARNING: Always transport the
machine with the upper blade guard
fitted.
