14. Miter cutting procedures
(1) Loosen the side handle and pull
up the lever for angle stoppers.
Then, adjust the turntable until the
indicator aligns with desired setting
on the miter scale (Fig. 17).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure
the turntable in the desired position.
(3) The miter scale 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.
(5) Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set the indicator to position.
NOTE
Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°
○
and 45° settings.
Check that the miter scale and the tip
of the indicator are properly aligned.
Operation of the saw with the miter
○
scale and indicator out of alignment,
or with the side handle not properly
tightened, will result in poor cutting
precision.
15. Bevel cutting procedures (Fig. 18)
CAUTION
Ensure that the clamp lever is securely fi xed when beveling.
○
Please do this if the length of the material being cut off is more than 25 mm long.
○
Sometimes cutting cannot be accomplished because the saw blade will catch on
the inside of the lower guard.
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left or to the right. When tilting the
motor head to the right pull the set pin towards the rear.
NOTE
Loosen the clamp lever, tilt the main unit to the left and then pull the set pin to enable
48-degree cuts.
Loosen the clamp lever and slant to the left a little at a time while pushing the set pin into
the main unit. At this time, the set pin will enter one step and fi t into the 30° left slant and
33.9° left slant setting slots.
With the set pin in the slot as described above, setting to the 30° left slant position is
possible by pushing to the right side.
Also, with the set pin in the slot as described above, setting to the 33.9° left slant position is
possible by pushing to the left side.
