6. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting)
(1) Workpieces up to 4-3/16" (107 mm) high and 12-1/4"
(312 mm) wide:
Loosen the slide securing knob (see Fig. 26), grip the
handle and slide the saw blade forward.
Then press down on the handle and slide the saw
blade backward to cut the workpiece as indicated in
Fig. 28. This facilitates cutting of workpieces of up to
4-3/16" (107 mm) in height and 12-1/4" (312 mm) in
width.

(2) Workpieces up to 4-11/16" (120 mm) high and
10-3/16" (260 mm) wide:
Workpieces of up to 4-11/16" (120 mm) in height and
up to 10-3/16" (260 mm) in width can be cut in the
same manner as described in paragraph 6-(1) above.
WARNING
● For slide cutting, follow the procedures indicated
above in Fig. 28.
Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is
very dangerous because the saw blade could
kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore,
always slide the handle away from the operator.
● Always return the carriage to the full rear
position after each crosscut operation in order to
reduce the risk of injury.
● Never put your hand on the miter lock handle
during the cutting operation because the saw
blade comes close to the miter lock handle when
the motor head is lowered.
CAUTION
● When cutting a workpiece of 4-3/4" (120 mm)
height, adjust the lower limit position of the
motor head so that the gap between the lower
edge of the motor head and the workpiece will be
5/64" to 1/8" (2 to 3 mm) at the lower limit
position.

Press down

● If the handle is pressed down with excessive or
lateral force, the saw blade may vibrate during
the cutting operation and cause unwanted
cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing
the quality of the cut. Accordingly, press the
handle down gently and carefully.
● In slide cutting, gently push the handle back
(rearwards) in a single, smooth operation.
Stopping the handle movement during the cut
will cause unwanted cutting marks on the
workpiece.
7. Bevel cutting procedures
WARNING
When changing the oblique angle, hold down the
motor head. If the motor head moves to an
oblique angle suddenly, it may result in injury or
damage to the main body.
(1) Loosen the bevel lock handle and bevel the saw
blade to the left or to the right.
To change the bevel angle to the right, loosen the
bevel lock handle, then pull out the set pin (A) toward
the front, and tilt the motor head to the right.
When the motor head is straight upright, the set pin
(A) is held tightly in place, so tilt the motor head
slightly to the left when pulling out the set pin (A)
before tilting the motor head to the right.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while
watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then
secure the bevel lock handle.
CAUTION
Always check that the bevel lock handle is
secured and the motor head is clamped. If you
attempt angle cutting without clamping the
motor head, then the motor head might shift
unexpectedly causing injuries.
(3) Follow the procedures indicated in paragraphs 4,5
and 6 above. For maximum dimensions for bevel
cutting, refer to page 11 "Table 2: Max. sawing
dimension".
NOTE
The bevel lock handle adopts a clutch system. When
contacting the bevel lock handle and the main body,
pull the bevel lock handle in the direction of the arrow
mark as illustrated in Fig. 29, and change the
direction of the bevel lock handle.
