18blade attains full speed. Press down the handle andPUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDEFENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. Whenthe cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAITUNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETESTOP before returning the blade to its fully elevatedposition.CAUTION:• Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THECARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press downthe handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSHTHE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE.NEVER START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGENOT FULLY PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you performthe slide cut without pulling the carriage fully or if youperform the slide cut toward your direction, the blademay kickback unexpectedly with the potential to causeserious PERSONAL INJURY.• Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked inthe lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.• Never loosen the knob which secures the carriagewhile the blade is rotating. This may cause seriousinjury.3. Miter cuttingRefer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miterangle”.4. Bevel cut (Fig. 41)Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevelangle (Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting thebevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly tosecure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure theworkpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulledall the way back toward the operator. Switch on the toolwithout the blade making any contact and wait until theblade attains full speed. Then gently lower the handleto the fully lowered position while applying pressure inparallel with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGETOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THEWORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch offthe tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TOA COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to itsfully elevated position.CAUTION:• 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 stillrotating, 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 hascome to a complete stop.• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure inparallel with the blade. If a force is appliedperpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressuredirection is changed during a cut, the precision of thecut will be impaired.• Always set the sub-fence to the left position whenperforming left bevel cuts.5. Compound cuttingCompound cutting is the process in which a bevelangle is made at the same time in which a miter angleis being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can beperformed at angle shown in the table.006360At 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 left45°, workpieces up to 50 mm high and 215 mm widecan be cut.At the miter angle of left and right 45° and bevel angleof right 45°, workpieces up to 31 mm high and 215 mmwide can be cut.When performing compound cutting, refer to “Presscutting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut”explanations.6. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 42 & 43)When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacerblocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure toprevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cuttinglubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion toprevent build-up of the aluminum material on the blade.CAUTION:• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminumextrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may comeloose during operation and round aluminum extrusionscannot be secured firmly with this tool.7. Groove cutting (Fig. 44)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 workpieceusing a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Thenremove the workpiece material between the grooveswith a chisel. Do not attempt to perform this type of cutusing wide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possibleloss of control and injury may result.CAUTION:• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the originalposition when performing other than groove cutting.Carrying tool (Fig. 1)Make 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.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.
