16• 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 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 ofthe cut 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 miterangle is being cut on a workpiece. Compoundcutting can be performed at angle shown in thetable.Miter angle Bevel angleRight 52Left 0 - 47 , Right 0 - 45 Left and Right 0 - 45Left 0 - 40 and Right 0 - 45006360At the miter angle of left 45° and bevel angle of left45°, workpieces up to 50 mm high and 200 mmwide can be cut.At the miter angle of right 45° and bevel angle ofleft 45°, workpieces up to 50 mm high and 215 mmwide can be cut.At the miter angle of left and right 45° and bevelangle of right 45°, workpieces up to 31 mm highand 215 mm wide can be cut.When performing compound cutting, refer to"Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and"Bevel cut" explanations.6. Cutting aluminum extrusionFig.44Fig.45When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacerblocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure toprevent deformation of the aluminum. Use acutting lubricant when cutting the aluminumextrusion to prevent build-up of the aluminummaterial on the blade.CAUTION:• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminumextrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may comeloose during operation and round aluminumextrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.7. Groove cuttingFig.46A dado type cut can be made by proceeding asfollows:Adjust the lower limit position of the blade usingthe adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit thecutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm"section described previously.After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,cut parallel grooves across the width of theworkpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in thefigure. Then remove the workpiece materialbetween the grooves with a chisel. Do not attemptto perform this type of cut using wide (thick) bladesor with a dado blade. Possible loss of control andinjury may result.CAUTION:• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the originalposition when performing other than groovecutting.Carrying toolFig.47Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the bladeat 0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter anglefully. Secure the slide poles after pulling the carriagetoward you fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in thelowered position 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.Fig.48CAUTION:• Always secure all moving portions before carryingthe tool.• Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposesonly and not for any cutting operations.MAINTENANCECAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before attempting to perform inspectionor maintenance.WARNING:• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and cleanfor the best 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 angleFig.49Push the carriage toward the guide fence andtighten the knob to secure the carriage.Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turnthe turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on themiter scale. Then turn the turn base slightlyclockwise and counterclockwise to seat the turnbase in the 0° miter notch. (Leave as it is if thepointer does not point to 0°.) Loosen the hex bolts |
