CAUTION:
•Always support long workpieces level with the top surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
•Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
•Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
•Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down handle with only as much force as is necessary for smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade speed.
•Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
1.Press cutting
001788
Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL
THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
2.Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter angle".
3.Bevel cut
001868
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel with the blade. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
•Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
•During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a complete stop.
•When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
•Always set the
4.Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed at angle shown in the table.
