141. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)Fig.37Workpieces up to 50 mm high and 97 mm wide canbe cut in the following way.Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully andtighten two clamp screws which secure the slidepoles clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure theworkpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool withoutthe blade making any contact and wait until theblade attains full speed before lowering. Thengently lower the handle to the fully lowered positionto cut the workpiece. When the cut is completed,switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADEHAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP beforereturning the blade to its fully elevated position.CAUTION:• Firmly tighten two clamping screws which securethe slide poles clockwise so that the carriage willnot move during operation. Insufficient tighteningmay cause unexpected kickback of the blade.Possible serious PERSONAL INJURY may result.2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)Fig.38Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slidepoles counterclockwise so that the carriage canslide freely. Secure the workpiece with the vise.Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on thetool without the blade making any contact and waituntil the blade attains full speed. Press down thehandle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARDTHE GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THEWORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switchoff the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HASCOME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returningthe blade to its fully elevated position.CAUTION:• Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULLTHE CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and pressdown the handle to the fully lowered position, thenPUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDEFENCE. NEVER START THE CUT WITH THECARRIAGE NOT FULLY PULLED TOWARD YOU.If you perform the slide cut without pulling thecarriage fully or if you perform the slide cut towardyour direction, the blade may kickbackunexpectedly with the potential to cause seriousPERSONAL INJURY.• Never perform the slide cut with the handle lockedin the lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.• Never loosen the clamp screw which secures thecarriage while the blade is rotating. This maycause serious injury.3. Miter cuttingRefer to the previously covered "Adjusting themiter angle".4. Bevel cutFig.39Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set thebevel angle (Refer to the previously covered"Adjusting the bevel angle"). Be sure to retightenthe lever firmly to secure the selected bevel anglesafely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Makesure the carriage is pulled all the way back towardthe operator. Switch on the tool without the blademaking any contact and wait until the blade attainsfull speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fullylowered position while applying pressure in parallelwith the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGETOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THEWORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switchoff the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HASCOME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returningthe blade to its fully elevated position.CAUTION:• Always be sure that the blade will move down tobevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands outof path of saw blade.• During a bevel cut, it may create a conditionwhereby the piece cut off will come to rest againstthe side of the blade. If the blade is raised while theblade is still rotating, this piece may be caught bythe blade, causing fragments to be scattered whichis dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLYafter the blade has come to a complete stop.• When pressing the handle down, apply pressureparallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallelto the blade during a cut, the angle of the blademight be shifted and the precision of the cut will beimpaired.5. Compound cuttingCompound cutting is the process in which a bevelangle is made at the same time in which a miterangle is being cut on a workpiece. Compoundcutting can be performed at angle shown in thetable.Miter angleLeft and Right 45Right 50Right 55Right 57Bevel angleLeft 0 - 45Left 0 - 40Left 0 - 30Left 0 - 25006393When performing compound cutting, refer to"Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and"Bevel cut" explanations.6. Cutting aluminum extrusionFig.40When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacerblocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure toprevent deformation of the aluminum.
