3. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjust miter angle".
4. Bevel cut
• Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle (Refer to the previously
covered "Adjust 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.
WARNING
:
• After setting the blade for a bevel cut, before operating the tool ensure that the carriage and
blade will have free travel throughout the entire range of the intended cut. Interruption of the
carriage or blade travel during the cutting operation may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.
• While making a bevel cut keep hands out of the path of the blade. The angle of the blade
may confuse the operator as to the actual blade path while cutting and contact with the blade
will result in serious personal injury.
• The 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 blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating the
cut-off piece maybe ejected by the 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 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.
• Before bevel-cutting, an adjustment of the sliding fence may be required. Refer to the
section titled "Guide fence adjustment".
CAUTION
:
• Always remove the guide fence so that it does not interfere any part of the carriage when
performing bevel cuts

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
Bevel angle
Left and Right
0 - 45°
Left and Right
0 - 45°
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting"
and "Bevel cut" explanations.
Measuring
Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table to cut wall contact edge to desired
length. Always make sure that cut workpiece length at the back of the workpiece is the same
as wall length. Adjust cut length for angle of cut. Always use several pieces for test cuts to
check the saw angles. When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevel angle and miter
angle as indicated in the table (A) and position the moldings on the top surface of the saw
base as indicated in the table (B).
