(1) Loosen the side handle and pull up the lever for angle
stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator
aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 35).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in
the desired position.
(3) The miter scale indicates both the cutting angle on the
angle scale and the gradient on the grade scale.
(4) The gradient, which is the ratio of the height to the
base of the triangular section to be removed, may be
used for setting the miter scale instead of the cutting
angle, if desired.
Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set
the indicator to position.
NOTE
○ Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the
0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° settings.
Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator
are properly aligned.
○ Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator
out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly
tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.

(For left bevel scale)
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the
left or to the right. When tilting the motor head to the
right pull the set pin (A) towards the rear.
The clamp lever adopts a latchet system. When
contacting the work bench and the main body, pull
the clamp lever in the direction of the arrow mark as
illustrated in Fig. 36, and change the direction of the
clamp lever.

(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while
watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then
secure the clamp lever.
WARNING
When the workpiece is secured on the left or
right side of the blade, the short cut-off portion
will come to rest on the right or left side of the
saw blade. Always turn the power off and let the
saw blade stop completely before raising the
handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still
rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed
against the saw blade causing fragments to
scatter about dangerously.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation
halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor
head to the initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back,
causes the lower guard to be caught in the
cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact
the saw blade.
CAUTION
When cutting a workpiece of 45 mm height in
the left 45° bevel cutting position or a workpiece
of 22 mm height in the right 45° bevel cutting
position, adjust the lower limit position of the
motor head so that the gap between the lower
edge of the motor head and the workpiece will be
2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position (refer to "5.
Cutting large workpieces" on page 28).
