WARNING
● When securing the workpiece in place on the left
side of the blade and performing left bevel angle
cutting, or when securing the workpiece in place
on the right side of the blade and performing
right bevel angle cutting, the cut-off material will
be on the upper 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.
● When right angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm wing
bolt, then slide the sub fence (A) outward and
remove it.
● When left angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm wing
bolt, then slide the sub fence (B) outward.
CAUTION
When cutting a workpiece of 2-15/16" (75 mm)
height in the left 45° bevel cutting position or a
workpiece of 1-15/16" (50 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 5/64" to 1/8" (2 to 3 mm) at
the lower limit position (refer to "3. Lower limit
position of saw blade when cutting a large
workpiece" on page 16).

Turntable
Miter scale
Indicator
(For miter scale)
(1) Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the miter lock
handle.
(2) While lightly pressing down on the positive stop lever
until it engages the detent lever, grasp the miter lock
handle and rotate the table left or right to the desired
angle.
(3) Once the desired miter angle is achieved, press down
on the miter lock handle to secure the table into
position.
(4) If the desired miter angle is one of the nine positive
stops noted below, please see the Miter detent lever
section on page 20.
(5) Use the LED light and position the workpiece on the
table for pre-alignment of your cut.
(6) The miter scale (Fig. 31) indicates both the cutting
angle on the angle scale and the gradient on the
grade scale.

Angle scale
(7) 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).
