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 rotating, 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 the handle down, apply pressure
•
parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to
the blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might
be shifted and the precision of the cut will be
impaired.
Always set the sub-fence to the left position when
•
performing left bevel cuts.

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.

Cutting aluminum extrusion
Fig.31
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer
blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to
prevent deformation 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
•
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come
loose during operation and round aluminum
extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
6.
Wood facing
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.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a
suggested wood facing.

CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood

Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide

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.

Cutting repetitive lengths
Fig.32
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 240 mm to 400 mm, use of the
set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more
efficient operation. Install the set plate on the holder
(optional accessory) as shown in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either
the left or right side of the groove in the kerf board,
and while holding the workpiece from moving,
cut"
move the set plate flush against the end of the
workpiece. Then secure the set plate with the screw.
When the set plate is not used, loosen the screw
and turn the set plate out of the way.

Carrying tool
Fig.33
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle fully.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by carrying grip as shown in the figure. If
you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can carry the
tool more easily.

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.
