3. Miter cutting procedures(1) Loosen the side handle and adjust the turntable until the indi-
cator aligns with the desired setting on the miter angle scale
(Fig. 16).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the de-
sired position.
(3) To align the saw blade with the pre - marked line on the
workpiece, watch through the saw cover window (refer to
Fig. 1) to ensure alignment, before starting operation.
(4) If any cuttings, etc., collecting on the transparent cover of the
saw cover window make it difficult to see the saw blade end,
remove the fixing screws and clean the cover with a soft cloth.
NOTE: * Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center setting and 45° settings.
Check that the miter angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.
* Operation of the saw with the miter angle scale and indicator out of alignment, or with the
side handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.
CAUTION: When vise (A) has been mounted on the left of the base as illustrated in Fig. 17, rotate
the turntable to the right to start operation. When vise (A) has been mounted on the
right of the base as illustrated in Fig. 18, rotate the turntable to the left to start opera-
tion.
Be very careful not to rotate the turntable in the same direction as the vise (A) is
mounted, which would cause the vise (A) to be cut by the saw blade, resulting in
breakage of both.
4. Cutting wide workpiece(1) Fig. 19 shows the dimensions of a wide workpiece to be cut at
a right angle (0˚). The use of a plate as illustrated in the figure,
permits cutting of wide workpieces of up to 9 - 7/16" (240 mm)
(width) × 1 - 3/4" (45 mm) (height).
CAUTION: Since the workpiece needs to be held in position
by hand during cutting operation, be sure to put
it into a stable, horizontal position and fix it se-
curely before starting operation.
(2) Fig. 20 shows the dimensions of a wide workpiece to be cut at
an angle of 45˚.
The use of a plate as illustrated in the figure, permits cutting of
wide workpieces of up to 1 - 3/4" (45 mm) (width) × 5 - 7/8"
(150 mm) (height).
Before the tool is shipped, the saw blade is set in the 5 - 1/8"
(130 mm) position. Adjust the handle position to cut the wide
workpiece of 5 - 7/8" (150 mm) in height.
(Refer to P. 13; “6. Handle position adjustment”.)
