19CAUTION:• 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 whereby thepiece 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, causingfragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The bladeshould be raised ONLY after the blade has come to acomplete stop.• When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallelto the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the bladeduring a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted andthe precision of the cut will be impaired.• Always set the sub-fence to the left position whenperforming left bevel cuts.5.
