11.1.5 Mitre sawing (Fig. 5)
During mitre sawing, the workpiece is sawed at an angle in relation to the mitre and width
guide.
 Starting position:
o Saw head completely raised.
o The motor head stands in a vertical position (90°), and the bevelling lock knob is
tightened.
 Sawing the workpiece:
o Release the mitre locking knob.
o Set the desired angle.
o Tighten the mitre locking knob once more.
o Hold the workpiece against the mitre and width guide. If necessary, use a work clamp
for fastening the workpiece.
o Activate the switch and activate/push on the safety lock.
o Lower the saw head carefully and completely downwards while holding firmly onto the
handgrip. You should only apply medium pressure while sawing, so as to prevent that
the speed of the motor slows down.
o Saw the workpiece in one single movement.
o Carefully let the saw head return to its topmost starting position.
o The saw should be switched off by releasing the switch, if no further sawing has to be
done.
Note: The mitre saw is activated at certain angles, such as at 0°, 15°, 22.5°,
30° and 45°.
11.1.6 Bevelling (Fig. 6)
During bevelling, the workpiece is sawn at an angle of less than 90°.
 Starting position:
o Saw head completely raised.
o Motor head in the 0° position; the locking screw of the turntable is tightened.
11.1.7 Sawing the workpiece:
 Release the bevelling locking knob for tilting the saw head close to the saw.
 Tilt the motor head carefully to the desired position.
 Tighten up the bevelling lock knob.
 Hold the workpiece against the mitre and width guide. If necessary, use a work clamp for
fastening the workpiece. (20)
 Activate the switch and activate/push on the safety lock.
 Lower the saw head carefully and completely downwards, while firmly holding onto the
handgrip. You should only apply medium pressure while sawing, so as to prevent that the
speed of the motor slows down.
 Saw the workpiece in one single movement.
 Carefully let the saw head return to its topmost starting position.
 The saw should be switched off by releasing the switch, if no further sawing has to be
done.
11.1.8 Double mitre cut
A double mitre cut is a combination of a mitre cut and a bevelling cut; this means that the
workpiece is cut at an angle in the one single movement, which is not equal to 90° in relation
to the mitre and width guide and the material surface.
