ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

3. Bevel crosscutting

Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting but with the
blade tilted at an angle. Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described, and ensure that it is locked in place.
Set the mitre gauge to 90
does not touch or foul the saw blade as it passes. Index the
material against the mitre gauge and make your cut. (Fig. 34)
4. Compound mitre cutting
Compound mitre cutting is a combination of mitre cutting and
bevel crosscutting.
FIG. 34
Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to the desired angles.
Lock both in place.
Check that the mitre gauge will pass the saw blade without
fouling. Adjust the mitre gauge faceplate if necessary.
Index the material against the mitre gauge and make your cut.
(Fig. 35)
5. Repetitive crosscutting
Repetitive cutting is cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each piece.
Note: Repetitive cross-cutting is carried out with the mitre

gauge positioned on the LH side of the machine, with the rip
fence on the RH side of the machine.
Caution:
The Rip Fence can be used as a length stop only if it
is properly set and adjusted.
To use the Rip Fence as length stop align the back of the
adjustable Fence Face with the back of the saw blade and set at
the required distance from the blade. This will allow clearance
for the material as it passes through the saw blade. (Fig. 36)
•
Check that the Rip Fence is set at the required distance and is
FIG. 36
lying parallel to the saw blade.
•
Index the material to be cut against the Mitre Gauge and the
Rip Fence Face.
•
Hold the material and Mitre Gauge with your left hand.
•
Gently push the workpiece through the saw. Use a push stick
in your right hand to guide the workpiece on the RH side of
the blade.
Note: If the Sliding Carriage system is deployed for repetitive cross-
cutting, the Mitre Gauge must be fastened to the carriage.
We recommend that the mitre gauge be fixed in its dedicated
position to the front of the carriage, where the locking screw will
engage in a hole in the sliding carriage body.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

6. Rip cutting

Rip cutting is cutting along the length of a piece of material
rather than across it. Rip cutting should always be done with the
Rip Fence Face set to the desired width and on the RH side of
the machines table.
The mitre gauge is not required for this operation, and should
be stored safely off the machine for future use.
Note: Check that the Rip Fence is locked in position and is
parallel to the saw blade.
Check that the riving knife is properly aligned with the saw blade.
When ripping small section material a push stick should be used
to feed/guide the final 300mm of the material past the blade. A
push stick should always be used when making cuts of less than
300mm.
When ripping long boards or large panels always use a remote
work support or enlist trained competent help.
Feed the workpiece through the saw keeping it indexed against
the rip fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and employ a push
stick if necessary. (Fig. 37)
When the ripping width is greater than 300mm, and with care,
both hands can be used to guide/feed the material through the
saw. The operators left hand will be to the LH side of the saw
blade. The operators right hand will be close to the rip fence on
the RH side of the sawblade. Hands should never be in line with
the blade.

7. Bevel ripping

When bevel ripping material 150mm or narrower use the rip
fence on the RH side of the blade only.
8. Using the Sliding Carriage System
WARNING:
All 'setting up' operations should be undertaken
with the machine switched off, the blade stationary, and the
switch cover plate in the closed (safe) position.
Release the carriage by sliding the table latch (located at the
rear of the table and just to the LH of the blade) to the
unlocked position.
•
Set the Mitre Gauge to the required angle and lock in place
with the vertical locking handle.
•
Slide the Mitre Gauge into the inverted 'T' slot and lock in the
required place by tightening the locking knob.
