CAUTION:
Never remove the side handle; use of the tool without it would be hazardous.
To prevent an accident or personal injury always firmly tighten the miter handle.
5. Bevel cutting procedures
Fig. 23
WARNING:
When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade, the short cut-off
portion will come to rest on the right or left side of the saw blade. Always turn the
power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the
workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may
become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about
dangerously.
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 safety cover to be caught in
the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
6. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 4 and 5 above. For maximum
dimensions for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table on page 9.
CAUTION:
Always secure the workpiece with the right hand side for compound cutting. Never
rotate the table to the right for compound cutting, because the saw blade might
then contact the clamp or vise that secures the workpiece, and cause personal injury
or damage.

Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with desired
