Setting the fence square with the blade (if necessary):
- Using a 6 mm hex key, loosen the two screws M8x30 (23) securing the fence (12) to the base (Fig 12).
- Adjust the fence (12) until it is square with the blade and tighten the two screws (23) to secure the fence.
- Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the pointer (24) and adjust it so that it accurately indicates the zero
position on the mitre scale (Fig 13).
- Retighten the screw securing the mitre scale pointer.
Cross cut:
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece.
- A 90°crosscut (Fig 14) is made with the mitre table set at 0.
- Mitre crosscuts are made with the table set at some angle (<) other than zero (Fig 15).
2. Bevel settings (Fig 16 to 22)
The saw arm can be tilted up to 45 °on the left.
The saw arm can also be tilted up to 2 ° on the right and to 48 ° on the left, but it is necessary to disrupt the tilting
stops (26 & 27).
- Loosen the bevel lock (10) and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle (between 0°and 45°) (Fig
16).
- Tighten the bevel lock (10).
CAUTION:
- After changing the bevel angle, always secure the saw arm by turning the bevel lock (10) clockwise.
Checking the table square with the blade:
Before making the first cuts, it is important to check the squareness of the blade with the table.
- Push the saw arm down to its lowest position and engage the release knob (19) in position B to hold the saw arm
(Fig 3).
- Loosen the mitre locks (15) and lifting up the mitre latch (14).
- Rotate the table until the pointer (24) is positioned at 0°, release mitre latch (14) and tighten the mitre locks (15).
- Loosen the bevel lock (10), set the saw arm at 0°bevel (the blade at 90°to the mitre table), and tighten the bevel
lock (10).
- Place a set square against the table and the flat part of the blade (Fig 17).
- Rotate the blade by hand and check the blade-to-table alignment at several points.
Setting the table square with the blade (if necessary):
If the saw blade angles away from the set square, adjust as follows:
- Loosen the bevel lock (10) (Fig 16).
- Use a 10 mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to loosen the lock nut M6 securing the 0° bevel adjustment screw
(26) (Fig 19).
- Adjust the 0° bevel adjustment screw (26) using a 3 mm hex key to bring the saw blade into alignment with the
square.
- Retighten the bevel lock (10) and the lock nut M6 securing the 0° bevel adjustment screw (26).
- Loosen the Phillips head screw holding the pointer (25) of the bevel scale and adjust the position of the pointer so
that it accurately indicates zero on the scale (Fig 18). Retighten the screw.
Bevel cut:
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece at a given angle (<) with the perpendicular of the
mitre table (Fig 21).
The mitre table is set at the zero degree position.
Compound cut:
A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle (<1) and a bevel angle (<2) at the same time. It is used in
making picture frames, to cut mouldings, making boxes with sloping sides and for roof framing. Always make a test
cut on a piece of scrap wood before cutting into the good material.
3. Cutting depth settings (Fig 26 & 27)
The depth of cut can be preset for even and repetitive shallow cuts.
- Place and secure the workpiece on the mitre table and against the fence.
- Slide the stop plate (30) towards the front position.
- Loosen the lock nut to free the depth stop knob (31).
