with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE
TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE
WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch
off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS
COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning
the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the blade will move down to
•
bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out
of path of saw blade.
During a bevel cut, it may create a condition
•
whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against
the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the
blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by
the blade, causing fragments to be scattered which
is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY
after the blade has come to a complete stop.
When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in
•
parallel with the blade. If a force is applied
perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressure
direction is changed during a cut, the precision of
the cut will be impaired.
Always set the sub-fence to the left position when
•
performing left bevel cuts.
5. Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter
angle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound
cutting can be performed at angle shown in the
table.
Miter angle
Left 0 - 47 , Right 0 - 45
Right 52
006360
At the miter angle of left 45° and bevel angle of left
45°, workpieces up to 50 mm high and 200 mm
wide can be cut.
At the miter angle of right 45° and bevel angle of
left 45°, workpieces up to 50 mm high and 215 mm
wide can be cut.
At the miter angle of left and right 45° and bevel
angle of right 45°, workpieces up to 31 mm high
and 215 mm wide can be cut.
When performing compound cutting, refer to
"Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and
"Bevel cut" explanations.
Bevel angle
Left and Right 0 - 45
Left 0 - 40 and Right 0 - 45
6. Cutting aluminum extrusion

When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer
blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to
prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a
cutting lubricant when cutting the aluminum
extrusion to prevent build-up of the aluminum
material on the blade.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
•
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come
loose during operation and round aluminum
extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
7. Groove cutting

001563
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as
follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using
the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the
cutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm"
section described previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the
workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the
