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 lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.

CAUTION

When cutting a workpiece of 75 mm height in the left 45° bevel cutting position or a workpiece of 50 mm height in the right 45° bevel cutting position, 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 2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position (refer to “3. Checking the saw blade lower limit position” on page 8).

(1) Grip the handle on the motor head and position it at the bevel angle you need. Temporarily tighten the clamp lever.

CAUTION

If not tightened firmly enough the motor head might suddenly move or slip, causing injuries. Be sure to tighten the motor head section enough so it will not move.

(2)When making fine adjustments of the bevel angle, turn the knob (B) while supporting the handle with your

hand.

NOTE

Turning knob (B) clockwise, allows fine adjustment of the main unit to the left (as seen from front). Turning knob (B) counterclockwise, allows fine adjustment of the main unit to the right (as seen from front).

(3)After adjusting to the desired angle, tighten the clamp lever and clamp the motor head.

CAUTION

Always check that the clamp lever 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.

9. Miter cutting procedures

(1)Loosen the side handle and pull up the lever for angle stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 36).
