CAUTION
: Never remove the miter handle; use of the tool without it would be hazardous.
To prevent an accident or personal injury always firmly tighten the miter handle.
NOTE:
* Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°
and 60° right and 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° left settings.
Check that the miter angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.
* Operation of the power tool with the miter angle scale and indicator out of alignment, or with
the miter handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.
5. Bevel cutting procedures
Fig. 25
WARNING:
When the workpiece is secured on the left side of the blade, the short cut-off portion
will come to rest on the right side of the saw blade. Always turn the power off and let
the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may
become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about
dangerously.
(1) Loosen the miter handle and pull the spring plate.
(2) Adjust the table until the indicator aligns with the
desired setting on the miter angle scale as shown in
Fig. 24-a.
