(8) Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/12, set
the indicator to position ⓐ as indicated in Fig. 31.
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 will result in poor cutting
precision.
CAUTION
Always check that the miter lock 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.
9. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the
instructions in 7 and 8 above. For maximum
dimensions for compound cutting, refer to page 11
"Table 2: Max. sawing dimension".
CAUTION
Always secure the workpiece with the right or
left hand and cut it by sliding the round portion
of the saw backwards with the other hand.
It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the
right or left during compound cutting because
the saw blade may come into contact with the
hand that is securing the workpiece.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by
left bevel, extend the sub-fence (B) fully before
cutting operation.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by
right bevel, slide the sub-fence (A) outward and
remove it.

The table below shows the miter angle and the bevel
angle settings that are ideal for the two crown molding
types.
NOTE
For convenience, positive stops are provided for the
miter setting (left and right 31.6°) positions.
For miter cut setting
If the turntable has been set to either of the angles
described, move the turntable adjusting miter lock handle
a little to the right and left to stabilize the position and to
properly align the miter angle scale and the tip of the
indicator before the operation starts.
For bevel cut setting
Turn the bevel lock handle on bevel section to the right
and check that the position is stable and that the bevel
angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly
aligned. Then tighten the bevel lock handle.
