Operation
OPERATION (CONTINUED):
4. Miter cutting procedures:
a.
Loosen the side handle.
b. Adjust the table until the indicator aligns with the desired setting on the
miter angle scale as shown in Fig. 17.
c. Retighten the side handle to secure the table in the desired position.
CAUTION: NEVER REMOVE THE SIDE HANDLE; USE OF THE TOOL
WITHOUT IT WOULD BE HAZARDOUS. TO PREVENT AN
ACCIDENT OR PERSONAL INJURY ALWAYS FIRMLY
TIGHTEN THE MITER HANDLE.
NOTE: Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center
setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 35.3°, 45° and 60° right and 15°,
22.5°, 31.6°, 35.3°, and 45° left settings. Check that the miter
angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.
*Operation of the power tool with the miter angle scale and
indicator out of alignment, or with the miter handle not
properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.
5. Bevel cutting procedures:
a.
Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left.
b. Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel
angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever (Fig. 18).
WARNING: WHEN THE WORKPIECE IS SECURED ON THE LEFT SIDE
OF THE BLADE, THE SHORT CUTOFF PORTION WILL
COME TO REST ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SAW
BLADE. ALWAYS TURN THE POWER OFF AND LET THE
SAW BLADE STOP COMPLETELY BEFORE RAISING THE
HANDLE FROM THE WORKPIECE. IF THE HANDLE IS
RAISED WHILE THE SAW BLADE IS STILL ROTATING, THE
CUTOFF PIECE MAY BECOME JAMMED AGAINST THE
SAW BLADE CAUSING FRAGMENTS TO SCATTER ABOUT
DANGEROUSLY.
6. Compound cutting procedures:
For compound cutting, follow the instructions in paragraphs 4 and 5 above.
At a bevel angle of 45° and a miter angle of 45°, a workpiece of 1-5/8"
(41 mm) in height and up to 4" (102 mm) in width can be cut.
CAUTION: ALWAYS SECURE THE WORKPIECE WITH THE RIGHT
HAND SIDE FOR COMPOUND CUTTING. NEVER ROTATE
THE TABLE TO THE RIGHT FOR COMPOUND CUTTING,
BECAUSE THE SAW BLADE MIGHT THEN CONTACT
THE CLAMP OR VISE THAT SECURES THE WORKPIECE,
AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE.
