► 1. Stopper pin
1. Unlock the stopper pin so that the carriage can
slide freely.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
5. Press the handle down and push the carriage
toward the guide fence and through the workpiece.
6. 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.
Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".
Bevel cut
WARNING: After setting the blade for a bevel
cut, ensure that the carriage and blade will have
free travel throughout the entire range of the
intended cut before operating the tool. Interruption
of the carriage or blade travel during the cutting oper-
ation may result in kickback and serious personal
injury.
WARNING: 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
WARNING: 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 pres-
sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision
of the cut will be impaired.
1. Remove the upper fence on the side that you are
going to tilt the carriage.
2. Unlock the stopper pin.
3. Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the "Adjusting the bevel angle" section.
Then tighten the knob.
4. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
7. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the blade
and push the carriage toward the guide fence to cut
the workpiece.
