When the workpiece is secured on the left or right 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.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting
after pulling back the motor head to the initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the safety cover
to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact
the saw blade.

(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw
blade to the left.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired
setting while watching the scale and
indicator, then secure the clamp lever.
(3) Follow the procedures indicated in
paragraphs 4 and 5 above. For maximum
dimensions for bevel cutting of up to
39mm (1-9/16") in height and 305mm (12")
width.
(1) Loosen the side handle and adjust the
turntable until the indicator aligns with
desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 25).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the
turntable in the desired position.
(3) The miter scale (Fig. 23) indicates both the
cutting angle on the angle scale and the
gradient on the grade scale.
(4) The gradient, which is the ratio of the
height to the base of the triangular section
to be removed, may be used for setting
the miter scale instead of the cutting
angle, if desired (see Fig. 24).
(5) Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade
of 2/10, set the indicator to position a as
indicated in Fig. 23.
