HORIZONTAL CUTTING
Raise the arm to the vertical position.
Open the vice to accept the piece to be cut by rotating the wheel at the end of
the base anticlockwise.
Place the workpiece on the saw bed. If the piece Is long it should be supported.
Clamp the workpiece securely in the vice by turning the hand wheel clockwise.
Switch on the machine, allow the head to lower slowly on to the work. Do not
drop or force.
Let the weight of the saw head provide the cutting force.
The weight of the head is regulated by turning the handle (item L). This effects
spring tension which in turn acts to balance the weight of the head and therefore
the cutting force.
The saw automatically shuts off at the end of the cut. The point at which this
occurs is effected by moving the plate shown in Fig.3 so that it makes contact
with the OFF switch sooner or later as required.
