Bevel cut
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle (Refer to
the previously covered “Adjusting the bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten
the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the
workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the way back
toward the operator. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then gently lower the
handle to the fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel
with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD 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 cutting”, “Slide cut-
ting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.
6.
Cutting aluminum extrusion
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks or pieces of
scrap as shown in the figure to prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use
a cutting lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-
up of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
•
Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum
extrusions may come loose during operation and round aluminum
extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
7.
Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in workpieces.
Attach a wood facing to the guide fence using the holes in the guide
fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a suggested wood facing.
