2.Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Positioning for adjusting the miter angle".

3.Bevel cutting

*At a left 45" bevel angle, workpieces 45 mm (1-3/4") high and 122 mm (4-13/16") wide can be cut.

*Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle. Refer to the previously covered "Positioning for adjusting the bevel angle". Be sure to re-tighten the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel

angle safely. Secure the workpiece

Apply pressure in parallel with blade

with the vise. Switch on the tool 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 and

 

PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE

 

GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORK-

 

PIECE. When the cut is completed,

 

switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL

 

THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COM-

 

PLETE STOP before returning the

 

blade to its fully elevated position.

 

CAUTION:

*During a bevel cutting, 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 rotat- ing, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing fragments to be scattered around which is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a complete stop.

*When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in parallelwith the blade. If a force is applied perpendicularlyto the turn base or if the pressure direction is changed during a cut, the precision of the cut will be impaired.

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

 

right.

Left 0 - 40"

Left and Right 45"

At the miter angle of left 45" and bevel angle of left 45", workpieces 45 mm (1-3/4") high and 85 mm (3-3/8")wide can be cut.

When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut" explanations.
