(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) Make fine adjustments to the bevel angle by gripping

13.Compound cutting procedures

Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 10 and 11 above. For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to

“SPECIFICATIONS” table.

CAUTION

￿Always secure the workpiece with the right hand side for compound cutting. Never rotate the table to the right for compound cutting, because the saw blade

might then contact the clamp or vise that secures the workpiece, and cause personal injury or damage.

14.Installing the holders (Optional accessory)

The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and

in place during the cutting operation.

(1)As indicated in Fig. 22, use a steel square for aligning the upper edge of the holders with the base surface. Loosen the 6 mm wing nut. Turn a height adjustment bolt 6 mm, and adjust the height of the holder.

(2)After adjustment, firmly tighten the wing nut and fasten the holder with the 6 mm knob bolt (optional accessory). If the length of Height Adjustment Bolt 6 mm is insufficient, spread a thin plate beneath. Make sure the end of Height Adjustment Bolt 6 mm does

not protrude from the holder.

15.Stopper for precision cutting (Stopper and holder are optional accessory)

The stopper facilitates continuous precision cutting in lengths of 280 mm to 450 mm.

To install the stopper, attach it to the holder with the 6 mm wing bolt as shown in Fig. 23.

the handle and moving the knob (A).

NOTE

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

If you tilt the main unit in the direction that does not place a load on plate (A) and pull plate (A), the contact position changes and the right slope angle becomes 3°. If you tilt the main unit in the direction that does not place a load on plate (B) and pull plate (B), the contact

position changes and the right slope angle becomes 48°.

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