This compact benchtop tool is designed to deliver consistent angled cuts for framing, trim work and general carpentry tasks. Its configuration balances cutting power and portability, making it suitable for both professional jobsites and DIY projects where accuracy and repeatability matter.

Advantages

The powerful 1650 W motor provides stable cutting performance under load while the 254 mm blade enables efficient material removal and longer cut life compared to smaller diameters. The saw's compact footprint and straightforward setup reduce bench space requirements and simplify transport between work locations. Built-in angle markings and detents support repeatable mitre and bevel adjustments, reducing measurement time and increasing workflow consistency.

How to use

Secure the saw to a stable bench or work surface and fit a compatible 254 mm blade following all safety lock procedures. Mark the workpiece and set the required mitre and/or bevel angle using the scale and detents. Position and clamp the material against the fence, check blade guard movement, start the motor and allow it to reach full speed before advancing the blade into the cut with steady, even pressure. Complete the cut, return the saw head to its rest position and wait for the blade to stop fully before removing the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection and a dust mask. Select a blade appropriate for the material and desired finish, and check blade condition regularly to maintain cut quality. For repeated precision cuts, verify zero and detent settings periodically and use a clamp or stop block to ensure consistent workpiece positioning.
