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.

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.
45 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
40
the machine. The roller table requires the use of the optional legstand (fig. A3).
35
Assemble the roller table following the instructions supplied
with the legstand.
30
• Replace the short support bars provided with the legstand with the
25
irregular rails from the table on the side the table is to be used.
• Follow all instructions provided with the roller table.
