THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When
the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL
THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel
direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of
saw blade.
During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the
piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the
blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still
rotating, 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 has come to a
complete stop.
When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallel
to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the blade
during a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.

5. Compound cutting

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle
is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being
cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed
at angle shown in the table.
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cut-
ting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut"
explanations.
6. Cutting repetitive lengths

When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,

ranging from 220 mm to 385 mm, use of the set plate
(optional accessory) will facilitate more efficient opera-
tion. Install the set plate on the holder (optional acces-
sory) as shown in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the
2
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and while
holding the workpiece from moving, move the set plate
flush against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the
