OPERATION Turn the material over and make the cut along one of the marks. This time overcut the other line and the cut piece should separate from the rest of the material. When the second cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material. To make a bevel cut See Figure 34. Beveled cuts can be made at 22.5° or 45° angles. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material. Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw arm to the desired bevel angle. Place the miter guide on the right side of the table at the desired distance from the wheel and lock in place. Make sure the material is clear of the cutting wheel before turning on the saw. Turn the on/off switch to the on position. Turn the flow adjustment valve to the on position. Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel. Hold the material firmly against the miter guide and fence and feed the material into the cutting wheel. When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing any part of the material. Turn the on/off switch to the OFF position. Turn the flow adjustment valve to the OFF position. Slide the table away from the motor head and position the work material for the next cut. BEVEL cut Lock knob plunge cut Fig. 34 TO MAKE A PLUNGE CUT See Figure 35. Plunge cuts are made by positioning the material directly underneath the cutting wheel and lowering the wheel onto the workpiece. This allows pieces to be cut from the center of the material. Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut on material. Loosen the lock knob on the side of the motor head and position the motor head upward to its maximum height. Place the miter guide on the right side of the table at the desired distance from the wheel. Turn the on/off switch to the on position. Turn the flow adjustment valve to the on position. Let the cutting wheel build up to full speed and wait for the wheel to get wet before moving the material into the wheel. Hold the motor head firmly by the handle. Move the material into the desired position for cutting. Slowly lower the motor head into the material to make the cut. Raise the motor head. 25 - English Fig. 35
