21CAUTION:• Always be sure that the blade will move down to beveldirection during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path ofsaw blade.• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition wherebythe piece cut off will come to rest against the side of theblade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still rotat-ing, this piece may be caught by the blade, causingfragments to be scattered which is dangerous. Theblade should be raised ONLY after the blade has cometo a complete stop.• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in par-allel with the blade. If a force is applied perpendicularlyto the turn base or if the pressure direction is changedduring a cut, the precision of the cut will be impaired.• Always set the sub-fence to the left position when per-forming left bevel cuts.5. Compound cuttingCompound cutting is the process in which a bevel angleis made at the same time in which a miter angle is beingcut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performedat angle shown in the table.At the miter angle of left 45° and bevel angle of left 45°,workpieces up to 50 mm high and 200 mm wide can becut.At the miter angle of right 45° and bevel angle of left 45°,workpieces up to 50 mm high and 215 mm wide can becut.At the miter angle of left and right 45° and bevel angle ofright 45°, workpieces up to 31 mm high and 215 mmwide can be cut.When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cut-ting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” expla-nations.6. Cutting aluminum extrusionWhen securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocksor pieces of scrap as shown in Fig. 44 to prevent defor-mation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant whencutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up of thealuminum material on the blade.CAUTION:• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extru-sions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose dur-ing operation and round aluminum extrusions cannotbe secured firmly with this tool. (Fig. 45)7. Groove cutting (Fig. 46)A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using theadjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cuttingdepth of the blade. Refer to “Stopper arm” sectiondescribed previously.After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cutparallel grooves across the width of the workpiece usinga slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then removethe workpiece material between the grooves with achisel. Do not attempt to perform this type of cut usingwide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possible loss ofcontrol and injury may result.CAUTION:• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original posi-tion when performing other than groove cutting.Carrying toolMake sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle fully.Secure the slide poles after pulling the carriage towardyou fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the loweredposition by pushing in the stopper pin. (Fig. 47)Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base asshown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,etc., you can carry the tool more easily. (Fig. 48)CAUTION:• Always secure all moving portions before carrying thetool.• Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes onlyand not for any cutting operations.MAINTENANCECAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before attempting to perform inspection ormaintenance.WARNING:• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for thebest and safest performance.Adjusting the cutting angleThis tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,but rough handling may have affected the alignment. Ifyour tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:1. Miter anglePush the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten theknob to secure the carriage.Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn theturn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miterscale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise andcounterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miternotch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)Loosen the hex bolts securing the guide fence using thesocket wrench. (Fig. 49)Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered positionby pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of theblade with the face of the guide fence using a triangularrule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex boltson the guide fence in the order from the right side.(Fig. 50)Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale.If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the screw whichsecures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it willpoint to 0°. (Fig. 51)2. Bevel angle1) 0° bevel anglePush the carriage toward the guide fence andtighten the knob to secure the carriage. Lower thehandle fully and lock it in the lowered position bypushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the lever at therear of the tool. Make sure that the arm is locked.(Fig. 52)Turn the hex bolt on the left side of the arm two orthree revolutions counterclockwise. Turn the hex bolton the right side of the arm two or three revolutionscounterclockwise to tilt the blade to the left. (Fig. 53)Miter angle Bevel angleLeft 0° – 47°,Right 0° – 45° Left and Right 0° – 45°Right 52° Left 0° – 40° and Right 0° – 45°
