WARNING:
CAUTION:
* Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each
crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of injury.
* Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation
because the saw blade comes close to the side handle when the
motor head is lowered.

When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade,
the short cut-off portion will come to rest on the right or left 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 cut-off
piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments
to scatter about dangerously.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting
after pulling back the motor head to the initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the lower guard
to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact
the saw blade.
When cutting a workpiece of 2-15/16" (75 mm) height in the left 45°
bevel cutting position or a workpiece of 1-15/16" (50 mm) height in
the right 45° bevel cutting position, adjust the lower limit position of
the motor head so that the gap between the lower edge of the motor
head and the workpiece will be 5/64" to 1/8" (2 to 3 mm) at the lower
limit position (refer to "2. Checking the saw blade lower limit position"
on page 17).
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw
blade to the left or to the right.
When tilting the motor head to the right
pull the set pin (A) towards the rear.
The clamp lever adopts a latchet system.
When contacting the work bench and the
main body, pull the clamp lever in the
direction of the arrow mark as illustrated
in Fig. 30, and change the direction of the
clamp lever.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting
while watching the bevel angle scale and
indicator, then secure the clamp lever.
(3) Follow the procedures indicated in
paragraphs 4,5 and 6 above. For maximum
dimensions for bevel cutting, refer to
"SPECIFICATIONS" table on page 12.
