Refer to the section for adjusting the miter angle.
Bevel cut
WARNING:
After setting the saw blade for a
bevel cut, ensure that the carriage and saw blade will
have free travel throughout the entire range of the
intended cut before operating the tool. Interruption of
the carriage or blade travel during the cutting operation
may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
While making a bevel cut, keep
hands out of the path of the saw blade. The angle
of the saw blade may confuse the operator as to the
actual blade path while cutting and contact with the
saw blade will result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
The saw blade should not be raised
until it has come to a complete stop. During a bevel cut,
the piece cut off may come to rest against the saw blade. If
the saw blade is raised while it is rotating, the cut-off piece
may be ejected by the saw blade causing the material to
fragment which may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the saw blade. If a force
is applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the
pressure direction is changed during a cut, the preci-
sion of the cut will be impaired.
1.
Set the sliding fence on the left to prevent the
carriage from contacting.
2.
Unlock the stopper pin and loosen thumb screw
on the arm so that the carriage can be elevated and slid
freely.
3.
Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the section for bevel angle adjustment.
Then tighten the grip.
4.
Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5.
Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6.
Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed.
7.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the circular
saw blade and push the carriage toward the guide
fence to cut the workpiece.
8.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop before returning the saw blade to its fully
elevated position.

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 the angle shown in the table.
Miter angle
Left and Right 0° - 45°
When performing compound cutting, refer to the section
for press cutting, slide (push) cutting, miter cutting and
bevel cut.
