Adjusting the bevel angle
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of the
tool counterclockwise. Unlock the arm by pushing the handle
somewhat strongly in the direction that you intend to tilt the
saw blade.
Tilt the saw blade until the pointer points to the desired angle
on the bevel scale. Then tighten the lever clockwise firmly to
secure the arm.
CAUTION:
When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
After changing the bevel angle, always secure the arm
by tightening the lever clockwise.
When changing bevel angles, be sure to position the kerf
boards appropriately as explained in the Positioning kerf
boards section.
Switch action
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the OFF
position when released.
When not using the tool, remove the lock-off button and
store it in a secure place. This prevents unauthorized
operation.
Do not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing in the
lock-off button. This can cause switch breakage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a
lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press in the lock-
off button and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trig-
ger to stop.
WARNING:
NEVER use tool without a fully operative switch trigger.
Any tool with an inoperative switch is HIGHLY
DANGEROUS and must be repaired before further
usage.
