By turning the turn table to the left or right and inclining the saw blade section (head) to the left or right, the Models C 8FSE and C 8FSHE are capable of compound cutting (bevel and miter, see Figs. 10-a and 10-b) of workpieces with the maximum dimensions shown in Table 6.

Splinter guard, also serving for cut alignment

When cutting the ends of a workpiece, splinters may drop on the saw blade and be cut into pieces. The Models C 8FSE and C 8FSHE are equipped with a splinter guard to prevent such splinter cutting.

(Refer to "SELLING POINTS .") Safe cutting is also ensured in bevel cutting because the splinter guard is tilted with the saw blade.

Groove cutting

The Models C 8FSE and C 8FSHE can cut grooves at desired depth by adjusting the 6-mm depth adjustment bolt manually. (Refer to "Groove cutting procedures" described in the Instruction Manual for details.)

NOTE: The Models C 8FSE and C 8FSHE cannot cut grooves at constant depth unless the saw blade slides in parallel with the base surface.
