Bevel cut (Fig. 30)
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel
angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the
bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the
workpiece with a vise. Switch on the tool without the
blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains
full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully
lowered position while applying pressure in parallel with
the blade. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool
and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully
elevated position.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel
direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of
saw blade.
• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby
the piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the
blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still
rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade,
causing fragments to be scattered which is dangerous.
The blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has
come to a complete stop.
• When pressing the handle down, apply pressure
parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the
blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might be
shifted and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
• Always set the sub-fence to the left position when
performing left bevel cuts.
Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle
is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being
cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed
at angle shown in the table.
Bevel angle
45°
006389
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press
cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut" explanations.
Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 31)
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in Fig. 31 to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come
loose during operation and round aluminum extrusions
cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
Wood facing (Fig. 32)
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in
workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
See Fig. 32 concerning the dimensions for a suggested
wood facing.
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
facing.
Miter angle
Left and Right 0° – 45°
• Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide
fence. The screws should be installed so that the screw
heads are below the surface of the wood facing.
• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn
base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the
wood facing will be damaged.
Cutting repetitive lengths (Fig. 33)
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,
ranging from 240 mm to 400 mm, use of the set plate
(optional
accessory)
operation. Install the set plate on the holder (optional
accessory) as shown in Fig. 33.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and while
holding the workpiece from moving, move the set plate
flush against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the
set plate with the screw. When the set plate is not used,
loosen the screw and turn the set plate out of the way.
NOTE:
• Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory)
allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm (7.2 ft.)
approximately.
Carrying tool
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at left miter angle fully.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin. (Fig. 34)
Carry the tool by carrying grip as shown in Fig. 35. If you
remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can carry the tool
more easily.
CAUTION:
• Always secure all moving portions before carrying the
tool.
• Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes only
and not for any cutting operations.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the
best and safest performance.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Miter angle (Fig. 36)
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the
turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. Tighten the grip and loosen the hex bolts securing
the guide fence using the socket wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the
blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular
rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex bolts
on the guide fence in the order from the right side.
