WARNING
After installing a new blade, make sure the blade clears the table slot in the 0° and 45° bevel positions. Lower the
blade onto the lower table, making sure that it does not come into contact with the base or table structure.

MITRE CUT (Fig. 20)
When a mitre cut is required, move the saw to the desired angle.
Do not stand in front of the saw table. Move the handle to the mitre angle to make the cut.
22.
BEVEL CUT (Fig. 21)
When a bevel cut is required, tilt the blade to the desired bevel angle. Stand to the left side of the handle to make the cut.
23.
COMPOUND CUT (Fig. 22)
When a compound cut is required, select the correct bevel and mitre position. Move the handle to the mitre angle to make
the cut.

CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (Fig. 23)
Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is not bowed.
If it is bowed the workpiece must be positioned and cut as illustrated. If you do not position the workpiece correctly or if you
try to cut the workpiece without the support of the fence, the workpiece will get pinched by the blade. The workpiece could
suddenly jump or move and your hand could hit the blade.

25.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT (Fig. 24)
Use extra supports for long pieces. The supports should be placed along the workpiece so the workpiece does not sag.
Your hand holding the workpiece must be 10 cm or more from the blade path. The support should let the workpiece lay flat
on the base and work table during the cutting operation.

AUXILIARY FENCE (Fig. 25)
Certain types of moulding need a fence face extension due to the size and position of the workpiece. Holes are provided in
the fence to attach an auxiliary fence made of natural wood, 13 mm thick by 8 cm high by 50 cm long.
The auxiliary fence is used with the saw in the 0° bevel position.
If a bevel cut is desired, the auxiliary fence will have to be removed.

FILLER BLOCKS FOR CUTTING CROWN MOULDINGS (Fig. 26 - 27)
Most crown mouldings have contact surfaces of 52° and 38° on the rear surface of the moulding. By using filler block supports,
these angles are kept flat on the saw table. The following illustrations show two methods that can be used when cutting crown
mouldings depending on how the filler block is positioned against the fence. When the filler blocks are attached to the fence
face up, the moulding must be placed on the table upside down.
