5.2 Cutting Operations

1. Height Adjustment: Turn the height adjustment knob to raise or lower the saw blade to the desired cutting depth. The maximum cutting depth is 16mm.
2. Angle Adjustment (Refer to Figure 5):
   • Loosen the angle adjustment knob.
   • Adjust the cutting platform to the desired angle between 0° and 90°. The panel has clear markings for accurate angle setting.
   • Tighten the angle adjustment knob to secure the setting.
3. Material Feeding:
   • Place the workpiece firmly against the push-pull chute for straight cuts.
   • Slowly and steadily feed the material into the rotating blade. Avoid forcing the material, as this can cause kickback or damage to the motor/blade.
   • Always keep your hands clear of the blade path. Use a push stick for smaller pieces.
