Bevel cut
Refer to the previously covered "Positioning for adjusting the miter angle".
Left and right 0" - 45" bevel cuts can be performed. At a left 45" bevel angle, work-
pieces up to 50 m m (2") high and 305 mm (12") wide can be cut. At a right 45" bevel
angle, workpieces up to 31 mm (1-1/4") high and 305 mm (12") wide can be cut

Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade
to set the bevel angle. Be sure to re-
tighten the lever firmly to secure the
selected bevel angle safely. Secure the
workpiece with a vise. Switch on the
tool 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
PIECE. When the cut is comdeted.

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:
*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 the scattered around
which is dangerous. The blade should be raise ONLY after the blade has come to a
complete stop.
*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.
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 below.

At the miter angle of left and right 45" and bevel angle of left 45". workpieces up to
50 mm (2") high and 21 5 mm (8-1/2") wide can be cut.
At the miter angle of left and right 45" and bevel angle of right 45", workpieces up to
31 mm (1-1/4") high and
215

When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter
cutting" and "Bevel cut" explanations.
