Bevel cut

WARNING:
After setting the blade for a bevel
cut, before operating the tool ensure that the saw
head and blade will have free travel throughout
the entire range of the intended cut. Interruption
of the saw head or blade travel during the cutting
operation may result in kickback and serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
While making a bevel cut keep
hands out of the path of the blade. The angle of the
blade may confuse the operator as to the actual blade
path while cutting and contact with the blade will
result in serious personal injury
WARNING:
The blade should not be raised
until it has come to a complete stop. During a
bevel cut the piece cut off may come to rest against
the blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating the
cut-off piece maybe ejected by the blade causing
the material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Always remove sub-fence when
performing bevel cuts. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury.
1. Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the
bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting
the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely.
2. Secure the workpiece with the vise.
3.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
4. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the blade to
cut the workpiece.
5. 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.
NOTICE:
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 pres-
sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision
of the cut will be impaired.

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 the angle shown in the table.
Miter angle
Left and right 45°
Right 52°
Left 52°
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press
cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut" explanations.

extrusion 5. Spacer block
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks or pieces
of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent deformation of the alu-
minum. Use a cutting lubricant when cutting the aluminum extru-
sion 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 alumi-
num extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,
ranging from 200 mm (7-7/8") to 330 mm (13"), use the
set plate (optional accessory). Install the set plate on the
holder (optional accessory) as shown in the figure.
