way back toward the operator. 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 and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD

THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. 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 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 66 mm high and 170 mm wide can be

cut.

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

workpieces up to 66 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 45 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. 42 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. 43)

7. Wood facing (Fig. 44)

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 and 6 mm screws.

See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-

gested wood facing.

CAUTION:

• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood fac-

ing.

• When cutting workpieces from 115 mm to 120 mm

high, use a wood facing to prevent a portion of the

workpiece near the guide fence from being left uncut.

Example:

When cutting workpieces 120 mm high, use a wood fac-

ing with the following thickness.

CAUTION:

• 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.

8. Groove cutting (Fig. 45)

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. 46)

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. 47)

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.
