(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the
desired position.
(3) The miter scale (Fig. 33) 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 2/12, set the
indicator to position ⓐ as indicated in Fig. 33.

10. Miter angle fi ne adjustment
(1) Rotate the turntable to the miter angle you need.

handle. (Fig. 35.)
Always check that the side handle is secured and the turntable is
clamped.
If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the turntable, then
the turntable might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.
* 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.
