CAUTION: After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting, the table insert will be cut to some extent if it is used for bevel angle cutting.

When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the table insert for bevel angle cutting.

3.Checking the saw blade lower limit position

Check that the saw blade can be lowered 12mm to 13mm (15/32" to 1/2") below the

table insert as shown in Fig. 10-a.

To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade,

 

 

follow the procedures (1) to (4) indicated below.

4.Lower limit position of saw blade when cutting a large workpiece

NOTE: When cutting a workpiece exceeding 88mm (3-15/32") in height in right-angle cutting or 56mm (2-7/32") in left bevel angle cutting or 31mm (1-7/32") in right bevel angle cutting, adjust the lower limit position so that the base of the motor head (see Fig. 10-a) will not come in contact with the workpiece.

To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade, follow the procedures (1) to (3) shown in Fig. 10-a.

(1)Loosen the 8mm wing nut so that the 8mm depth adjustment bolt can be turned by hand.
