(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. 33).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the
turntable in the desired position.
(3) The miter scale (Fig. 34) 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. 34).
(5) Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade
of 2/10, set the indicator to position a as
indicated in Fig. 34.
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.
(1) Rotate the turntable to the miter angle you
need.
(2) When making fine adjustments of the
miter angle, turn the knob (A) while
pulling up the lever (Fig. 36).
NOTE:
Turning knob (A) clockwise, allows fine
adjustment of the turntable to the right.
Turning knob (A) counterclockwise,
allows fine adjustment of the turntable
to the left.
(3) After adjusting to the desired angle,
tighten the side handle.
