Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'sawing' names the action of cutting with a saw and 'machine' names a powered device, so the meaning 'a machine for sawing' follows directly from the constituents. This is a common noun+gerund/participle pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows 'saw' and 'machine' would understand it.
Etymology
Sawing machine literally names what it does: sawing is cutting and machine is a powered tool. Imagine a tool with a moving saw blade doing the hard work for you — that's why the phrase means 'a power-driven machine used for cutting wood, metal, or other materials'.
