Head Lock Down Pin (fig. A2)
To lock the saw head in the down position, push the head
down, push the pin (22) in and release the saw head. This will
hold the saw head safely down for moving the saw from place
to place. To release, press the saw head down and pull the pin
out.
Use of XPS LED Worklight System (fig. A1, A2)
TM
NOTE: The mitre saw must be connected to a power source.
The XPS LED Worklight System is equipped with an on/off
TM
switch (6). The XPS LED Worklight System is independent of
TM
the mitre saw's trigger switch. The light does not need to be on
in order to operate the saw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:
1. Turn on the XPS system, then pull down on the operating
TM
handle (11) to bring the saw blade close to the wood. The
shadow of the blade will appear on the wood.
2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade's shadow.
You may have to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order to
match the pencil line exactly.
BASIC SAW CUTS
Vertical straight cross cut (fig. A1 & L)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to
release the mitre arm.
• Engage the mitre latch at the 0° position and tighten the
mitre lever.
• Place the wood to be cut against the fence (3 & 8).
• Take hold of the operating handle (11) and depress the head
lock up release lever (12) to release the head.
• Press the trigger switch (1) to start the motor.
• Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the
timber and enter the plastic kerf plate (9).
• After completing the cut, release the switch and wait for the
saw blade to come to a complete standstill before returning
the head to its upper rest position.
Performing a sliding cut (fig. A1, M)
The guide rail allows cutting larger workpieces from 76.2 mm
up to
111.8 mm using an out-down-back sliding motion.
• Release the rail lock knob (16).
• Pull the saw head towards you and switch the tool on.
• Lower the saw blade into the workpiece and push the head
back to complete the cut.
• Proceed as described above.
WARNING:
• Do not perform sliding cuts on workpieces smaller
than
76.2 mm.
• Remember to lock the saw head in the rear position
when the sliding cuts are finished.
Mitre cross-cut (fig. A1 & N)
• Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5).
• Move the arm left or right to the required angle. The mitre
latch will automatically locate at 10°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62° and
45° both left and right. If any intermediate angle is required
hold the head firmly and lock by tightening the mitre lever.
• Always ensure that the mitre lever is locked tightly before
cutting.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
WARNING: 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; i.e. left mitre, off-cut to the right -
right mitre, off-cut to the left.
Bevel cuts (fig. A1, A2 & O)
Bevel angles can be set from 48° left to 48° right and can be
cut with the mitre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45°
mitre position right or left.
Left bevel
• Slide the upper part of the left side fence (3) to the left as far
as it will go.
• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (21), lift the bevel latch (20)
and set the bevel as desired.
• The bevel latch automatically locates at 22.5°, 33.85° and
45°. If any intermediate angle is required, hold the head
firmly and lock by tightening the bevel clamp handle (21).
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Right bevel
• Slide the upper part of the right side fence (8) to the right as
far as it will go.
• Proceed as for a left bevel cut.
Quality of cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables,
e.g. the material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired
for moulding and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth
carbide) blade and a slower,
even cutting rate will produce the desired results.
WARNING: Ensure that the material does not creep
while cutting; clamp itsecurely in place. Always let the
blade come to a full stopbefore raising the arm. If small
fibres of wood still split out atthe rear of the workpiece,
stick a piece of masking tape on thewood where the
cut will be made. Saw through the tape andcarefully
remove tape when finished.
Clamping the workpiece (fig. A6, U)
WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced
and secure before a cut may become unbalanced
after a cut is completed. An unbalanced load may tip
the saw or anything the saw is attached to, such as
a table or workbench. When making a cut that may
become unbalanced, properly support the workpiece
and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a stable surface.
Personal injury may occur.
WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped
above the base of the saw whenever the clamp is
used. Always clamp the workpiece to the base of the
saw – not to any other part of the work area. Ensure
the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of the base
of the saw.
