Always check that the side handle is secured and the turntable is
clamped.
If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the turntable, then
the turntable might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.
(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. 31).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable
in the desired position.
(3) The miter scale (Fig. 32) 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 (see Fig. 32).
(5) Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set
the indicator to position ⓐ as indicated in Fig. 32.
NOTE:
* Positive stops are provided at the right
and left of the 0° center setting, at 15°,
22.5°, 31.6° 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.
(1) Rotate the turntable to the miter angle you need.
(2) After adjusting to the desired angle, tighten the
side handle. (Fig. 34.)
