10 OPERATION
CAUTION:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper
pin and turning it to the angle of 90°.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
10.1
Cutting as mitre saw
WARNING: Make sure that the lower blade guard C is installed before using
in Mitre saw mode.
CAUTION:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down handle with only as
much force as is necessary for smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade
speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or
if lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the
workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
10.1.1
Press cutting
Secure the workpiece against guide fence and turn table. Switch on the tool without the blade
making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently
lower the handle to the fully lowered position 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.
10.1.2
Mitre cutting
Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the Mitre angle”.
10.1.3
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 against guide fence and turn table. 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.
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.
