(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while
watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then
secure the bevel lock handle.
Always check that the bevel lock handle is secured and
the motor head is clamped. If you attempt angle cutting
without clamping the motor head, then the motor head
might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.
WARNING
○ When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side
of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest
on the right or left side of the saw blade. Always turn the
power off and let the saw blade stop completely before
raising the handle from the workpiece.
○ If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still
rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against
the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about
dangerously. When stopping the bevel cutting operation
halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head
to the initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the
lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of the
workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
○ When right angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm wing bolt,
then slide the sub fence (A) outward and remove it.
○ When left angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm wing bolt, then
slide the sub fence (B) outward.
CAUTION
When cutting a workpiece of 75 mm height in the left
45° bevel cutting position or a workpiece of 50 mm
height in the right 45° bevel cutting position, adjust the
lower limit position of the motor head so that the gap
between the lower edge of the motor head and the
workpiece will be 2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position
(refer to "9. Checking the saw blade lower limit position"
on page 21).
NOTE
The bevel lock handle adopts a clutch system. When
contacting the bevel lock handle and the main body,
pull the bevel lock handle in the direction of the arrow
mark as illustrated in Fig. 27, and change the direction
of the bevel lock handle.
9. Miter cutting procedures (Fig. 28)
(1) Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the miter lock
handle.
(2) While lightly pressing down on the positive stop lever
until it engages the detent lever, grasp the miter lock
handle and rotate the table left or right to the desired
angle.
(3) Once the desired miter angle is achieved, press down
on the miter lock handle to secure the table into
position.
(4) If the desired miter angle is one of the nine positive
stops noted below, please see the Miter detent lever
section on Fig. 17.
(5) Turn the LED light on and position the workpiece on the
table for pre-alignment of your cut.
CAUTION
Always check that the miter lock handle is secured and
the turntable is clamped.
If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the
turntable, then the turntable might shift unexpectedly
causing injuries.
NOTE
○ Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0°
center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° settings.
Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator
are properly aligned.
○ Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator
out of alignment will result in poor cutting precision.
10. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the
instructions in 8 and 9 above. For maximum dimensions
for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS"
table.
CAUTION
Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand
and cut it by sliding the round portion of the saw
backwards with the right or left hand.
It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the right or
left during compound cutting because the saw blade
may come into contact with the hand that is securing
the workpiece.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by left
bevel, slide the sub-fence (B) outward, and engage in
the cutting operation.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by right
bevel, remove the sub-fence (A), and engage in the
cutting operation.
11. Cutting long materials
When cutting long materials, use an auxiliary platform
which is the same height as the holder (optional
accessory) and base of the special auxiliary equipment.
Capacity:
wooden material (W × H × L)
300 mm × 45 mm × 1300 mm, or
180 mm × 25 mm × 2000 mm
12. Installing the holders ... (Optional accessory)
The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and in
place during the cutting operation.
(1) As indicated in Fig. 29, 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 6 mm 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.
CAUTION
When transporting or carrying the tool, do not grasp the
holder. There is the danger of the holder slipping out of
the base. Grasp the handle instead of the holder.
13. Stopper for precision cutting ... (Stopper and
holder are optional accessory)
The stopper facilitates continuous precision cutting in
lengths of 285 mm to 450 mm. To install the stopper,
attach it to the holder with the 6 mm knob bolt as shown
in Fig. 30.
14. Confirmation for use Crown molding vise, Crown
molding Stopper (L) and (R) (Optional accessory)
(1) Crown molding Stopper (L) and (R) (optional
accessories) allow easier cuts of crown molding without
tilting the saw blade. lnstall them in the base both-sides
side to be shown in Fig. 31. After inserting tighten the
6 mm knob bolts to secure the Crown molding
Stoppers.
(2) The crown molding vise (B) (Optional accessory) can
be mounted on either the left fence (Fence (B)) or the
right fence (Fence (A)). lt can unite with the slope of the
crown molding and vice can be pressed down.
Then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely
attach the crown molding in position. To raise or lower
the vise assembly, first loosen the hex. socket set
screw.
After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6 mm wing
bolt; then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to
securely attach the crown molding in position (Fig. 32).
Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT
EDGE against the guide fence and its CEILING
CONTACT EDGE against the Crown molding Stoppers
