English
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 lower guard to be caught in
the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
CAUTION
When cutting a workpiece of 75 mm height in the left 45° bevel cutting position or a
workpiece of 50 mm height in the right 45° bevel cutting position, adjust the lower
limit position of the motor head so that the gap between the lower edge of the
motor head and the workpiece will be 2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position (refer to
"3. Checking the saw blade lower limit position" on page 63).
8. Bevel angle fi ne adjustment
(1) Grip the handle on the motor head and
position it at the bevel angle you need.
Temporarily tighten the clamp lever.
CAUTION
If not tightened fi rmly enough the
motor head might suddenly move
or slip, causing injuries. Be sure
to tighten the motor head section
enough so it will not move.
(2) When making fi ne adjustments of the
bevel angle, turn the knob (B) while
supporting the handle with your hand.
NOTE
Turning knob (B) clockwise, allows fi ne
adjustment of the main unit to the left
(as seen from front).
Turning knob (B) counterclockwise,
allows fi ne adjustment of the main unit
to the right (as seen from front).
(3) After adjusting to the desired angle,
tighten the clamp lever and clamp the
motor head.
CAUTION
Always check that the clamp lever is secured and the motor head is clamped. If
you attempt angle cutting without clamping the motor head, then the motor head
might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.
