3. Bevel cut (Fig. 38)
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel
angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the
bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the work-
piece against guide fence and turn table. 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. 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.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel
direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of
saw blade.
• 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 rotat-
ing, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing
fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The
blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has come
to a complete stop.
• When pressing the handle down, apply pressure paral-
lel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the
blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might be
shifted and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
Over 10 mm
Hole
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood fac-
ing.
• Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide
fence. The screws should be installed so that the screw
heads are below the surface of the wood facing.
• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn
base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the
wood facing will be damaged.
CUTTING AS TABLE SAW (BENCH MODE)
CAUTION:
• When using the tool in the table saw mode (bench
mode), place the blade cover on the turn table so that
the blade cover is centered over the slit for the blade
entrance in the turn table and two small bosses on the
underside of the blade cover fit into the semi-circular slit
in the periphery of the guide fence on the turn table as
shown in the figure and then lock the handle in the low-
est position by fully pushing in the stopper pin. If not fix-
ing the blade cover, the table can not be down. (Fig. 40)

4. 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.
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cut-
ting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut" explanations.
5. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 39)
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent buildup
of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extru-
sions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose dur-
ing operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot
be secured firmly with this tool.
• Never cut aluminum in the table saw mode (bench
mode).
6. Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in
workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.

CAUTION:
• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
push blocks when there is a danger that your hands or
fingers will come close to the blade.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and the
rip fence. Do not bend or twist it while feeding. If the
workpiece is bent or twisted, dangerous kickbacks may
occur.
• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is run-
ning. If you must withdraw the workpiece before com-
pleting a cut, first switch the tool off while holding the
workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a
complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece. Fail-
ure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.
• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is run-
ning.
• NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of the
saw blade.
• Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous kick-
backs may occur.
