To use at an angle of -5°, fi rst loosen the cutting depth
lever and minimize the cutting depth of the saw blade.
Next, loosen the incline lever and the incline wing-nut,
turning the stopper lever in the direction indicated as A
(Fig.14). Tilting the main unit in the direction indicated
as B, fasten the unit with the incline lever and incline

Always ensure that the wing-nut is thoroughly
tightened after making the desired adjustment.
NOTE
Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base
merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting
operation at an inclined precise angle, use the circular
saw after adjusting the angle between the base and
the saw blade with a protractor, etc.
3. Fine tuning of parallelism
It is possible to fi ne-tune the parallelism of the saw
blade to the base using the parallelism adjustment
screw.
Adjustment has already been made at the time of
shipment from the factory. However, in the unlikely
event of parallelism being faulty, adjust as follows.
(1) Unfasten only the mounting screws of the saw cover
hinge portion (Fig. 16).
