11. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting) (
Fig. 22
)
(1) Workpieces up to 107 mm high and 312 mm
wide:
Loosen the slide securing knob (A) (
Fig. 2
),
grip the handle and slide the saw blade
forward. Then press down on the handle and
slide the saw blade back to cut the workpiece.
This facilitates cutting of workpieces of up to
107 mm in height and 312 mm in width.
(2) Workpieces up to 120 mm high and 260 mm
wide:
Workpieces of up to 120 mm in height and up
to 260 mm in width can be cut in the same manner as described in paragraph 15-(1) above.
CAUTION
○
When cutting a workpiece of 120 mm height, adjust the lower limit position of the
motor head so that the gap between the lower edge of the motor head and the
workpiece will be 2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position.
○
If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may
vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the
workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.
Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.
○
In slide cutting, gently push the handle back (rearwards) in a single, smooth
operation.
Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting marks
on the workpiece.
WARNING
○
For slide cutting, follow the procedures.
Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous because the saw
blade could kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle
away from the operator.
○
Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation in
order to reduce the risk of injury.
○
Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation because the
saw blade comes close to the side handle when the motor head is lowered.
12. Miter cutting procedures
(1) Loosen the side handle and pull up the lever for angle stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable
until the indicator aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (
Fig. 23
).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the desired position.
(3) The miter scale indicates both the cutting angle on the angle scale and the gradient on the
grade scale.
(4) The gradient, which is the ratio of the height to the base of the triangular section to be
removed, may be used for setting the miter scale instead of the cutting angle, if desired.
Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set the indicator to position.
