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 rotat-

ing, 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 down the handle, apply pressure in par-

allel with the blade. If a force is applied perpendicularly

to the turn base or if the pressure direction is changed

during a cut, the precision of the cut will be impaired.

• Always set the sub-fence to the left position when per-

forming left bevel cuts.

5. 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.

At the miter angle of left 45° and bevel angle of left 45°,

workpieces up to 50 mm high and 200 mm wide can be

cut.

At the miter angle of right 45° and bevel angle of left 45°,

workpieces up to 50 mm high and 215 mm wide can be

cut.

At the miter angle of left and right 45° and bevel angle of

right 45°, workpieces up to 31 mm high and 215 mm

wide can be cut.

When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cut-

ting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” expla-

nations.

6. Cutting aluminum extrusion

When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks

or pieces of scrap as shown in Fig. 41 to prevent defor-

mation 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 extru-

sions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose dur-

ing operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot

be secured firmly with this tool. (Fig. 42)

7. Groove cutting (Fig. 43)

A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:

Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the

adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting

depth of the blade. Refer to “Stopper arm” section

described previously.

After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut

parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using

a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then remove

the workpiece material between the grooves with a

chisel. Do not attempt to perform this type of cut using

wide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possible loss of

control and injury may result.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original posi-

tion when performing other than groove cutting.

Carrying tool

Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at

0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle fully.

Secure the slide poles after pulling the carriage toward

you fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered

position by pushing in the stopper pin. (Fig. 44)

Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as

shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,

etc., you can carry the tool more easily. (Fig. 45)

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.

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:

1. Miter angle

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten the

knob to secure the carriage.

Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the

turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter

scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and

counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter

notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)

Loosen the hex bolts securing the guide fence using the

socket wrench. (Fig. 46)

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.

(Fig. 47)

Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale.

If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which

secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will

point to 0°. (Fig. 48)
