Miter cutting

Refer to the section for adjusting the miter angle.

Bevel cut

WARNING:
After setting the circular saw
blade for a bevel cut, ensure that the carriage and
circular saw blade will have free travel throughout
the entire range of the intended cut before oper-
ating the tool. Interruption of the carriage or circular
saw blade travel during the cutting operation may
result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
While making a bevel cut, keep
hands out of the path of the circular saw blade.
The angle of the circular saw blade may confuse the
operator as to the actual blade path while cutting and
contact with the circular saw blade will result in seri-
ous personal injury.
WARNING:
The circular saw blade should not
be raised until it has come to a complete stop.
During a bevel cut, the piece cut off may come to
rest against the circular saw blade. If the circular saw
blade is raised while it is rotating, the cut-off piece
may be ejected by the circular saw blade causing
the material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.

NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the circular saw blade. If
a force is applied perpendicularly to the turn base or
if the pressure direction is changed during a cut, the
precision of the cut will be impaired.
1. Remove the upper fence on the side that you are
going to tilt the carriage.
2. Unlock the stopper pins so that the carriage can
be elevated and slid freely.
3.
Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the section for bevel angle adjustment.
Then tighten the grip dial.
4. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6. Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed.
7.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the circular
saw blade and push the carriage toward the guide
fences to cut the workpiece.
8. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop before returning the circular saw blade to its
fully elevated position.

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 the angle shown in the table.
Miter angle
Left and Right 0° - 45°
When performing compound cutting, refer to the section
for press cutting, slide (push) cutting, miter cutting, and
bevel cut.
