Making straight cuts:
Caution: For safe operation, do not force the work-piece into the blade,
feed it slowly and evenly and let the saw do the work.
• Set the correct depth of cut and lock the height by means of the height locking
lever.
Note: The blade height should be set so that it is just slightly higher than
the work-piece.
• Set blade tilt angle as required and lock securely into position.
• Mount the rip fence, if required.
• Set the work-piece onto the main table of the saw so that the blade guard rests
with its front edge on the work-piece.
• Start the saw and allow it to reach its full speed.
• Cut work-piece in a single pass.
• Switch machine off immediately if no further cuts are required.

• Slide the mitre gauge into the table slot (see page 19).
• Loosen the lock knob of the mitre gauge and set it to desired angle with the in-
dicator and re-tighten the lock knob to secure.
