CUTTING OPERATIONS
MITRE CUTTING (Fig.21):
This operation is the same as cross cutting except the mitre
is locking at any angle other than 90°.
COMPOUND MITRE CUTTING:
This is a combination of bevel cross cutting and mitre
cutting. It is very infrequently used. Follow the instructions
for both mitre cutting and bevel cross cutting.

MAINTENANCE
CHECKING THE BLADE PARALLELISM
(Fig.22):
This check should be carried out before each use
and adjusted if necessary
Ensure the saw is switched off and the plug is
removed from the power supply. Using a steel
ruler (Draper Stock No.12614), measure the
distance✪✌ and the distance ✫✌. If the two
distances differ, the blade is not completely
parallel and requires adjusting.
ADJUSTING THE BLADE PARALLELISM
(Fig.23):
This can be quite a confined adjustment. If
difficulty is encountered, have a qualified Draper
repair agent carry out the work.
Loosen ✬✌, ✭✌, ✮✌, ✯✌ and ✰✌ screws and
nuts. Adjust the blade and remeasure once all the
fixings have been secured.
When complete and before carrying out any test
cuts, ensure all the fixings are tight.
