14. Adjusting cutting depth
The maximum depth travel of the cutting head was set at
the factory.
(1) Setting the maximum width travel of the cutting head,
follow the below steps: (Fig. 9-a)
Turn the stop knob counterclockwise until the stop knob
is not protruding out of the stop seat while moving the
cutting head upward.
Rotate the anchor plate clockwise.
Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head
front to back through the full motion of a typical cut along
the control arm.
(2) Setting the maximum height travel of the cutting head,
follow the below steps: (Fig. 9-b)
Turn the stop knob counterclockwise until the stop knob
is not protruding out of the stop seat while moving the
cutting head upward.
Rotate the anchor plate counterclockwise to touch the
stop block.
Make sure the stop seat touches the anchor plate
completely.
15. Setting the cutting depth (Fig. 9-b)
The depth of cut can be preset for even and repetitive
shallow cuts.
(1) Adjust the cutting head down until the teeth of the blade
are at the desired depth.
(2) While holding the upper arm in that position, turn the stop
knob until it touches the anchor plate.
(3) Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head
front to back through the full motion of a typical cut along
the control arm.
NOTE
If the anchor plate becomes loose, it can interfere with
raising and lowering the cutting head. The anchor plate
must be tightened in horizontal position as shown in
Fig. 9-b.
PRIOR TO CUTTING
1. Positioning the table insert
Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When
shipping the tool from the factory, the table inserts are
so fi xed that the saw blade does not contact them. The
burr of the bottom surface of the workpiece is remarkably
reduced, if the table insert is fi xed so that the gap
between the side surface of the table insert and the saw
blade will be minimum. Before using the tool, eliminate
this gap in accordance with the following procedure.
(1) Right angle cutting
Loosen the three 4 mm machine screws, then secure
the left side table insert and temporarily tighten the 4 mm
machine screws of both ends. Then fi x a workpiece (about
200 mm wide) with the vise assembly and cut it off . After
aligning the cutting surface with the edge of the table
insert, securely tighten the 4 mm machine screws of both
ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the
4 mm center machine screw. Adjust the right hand table
insert in the same way.
(2) Left bevel angle cutting
Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in Fig. 10-b
following the same procedure for right angle cutting.
CAUTION
After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting, the
table insert will be cut to some extent if it is used for bevel
angle cutting.
When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the
table insert for bevel angle cutting.
2. Use of sub fence
WARNING
The sub fence must be extended when making any left
angle bevel cut. Failure to extend the sub fence will not
allow enough space for the blade to pass through which
could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel
angles the saw blade may also contact the fence.
This power tool is equipped with a sub fence.
In the case of direct angle cutting use the sub fence.
Then, you can realize stable cutting of the material with a
wide back face.
When left angle cutting, loosen the lock knob, then slide
the sub fence outward, as shown in Fig. 11.
NOTE
When transporting the saw, always secure the sub fence
in the collapsed position and lock it.
3. Securing the workpiece
WARNING
Always clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the
fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust from the
table and cause bodily harm.
4. Slide carriage system (Fig. 12)
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, return slide carriage to the
full rear position after each crosscut operation.
For chop cutting operations on small workpieces, slide
the cutting head assembly completely toward the rear of
the unit and tighten the slide securing knob.
To cut wide boards up to 305 mm, the slide securing
knob must be loosened to allow the cutting head slide
freely.
5. Quick-cam locking lever operation (Fig. 13)
If miter angles required are NOT one of the nine positive
stops, the miter table can be locked at any angle
between these positive stops by using the quick-cam
locking lever.
Unlock the miter table by lifting up on the quick-cam
locking lever. While holding the positive stop locking
lever up, grasp the miter handle and move the table left
or right to the desired angle. Release the positive stop
locking lever. Press down on the quick-cam locking lever
until it locks the table in place.
6. The laser guide
WARNING
● For your own safety, never connect the plug to power
source outlet until the adjustment steps are complete
and you have read and understood the safety and
operational instructions.
● Your tool is equipped with a laser guide using a Class
1M laser guide. The laser guide allows you to preview
the saw blade path on the workpiece to be cut before
starting the miter saw. The saw must be connected to the
power source and the laser on/off switch must be turned
on for the laser line to show.
(1) Avoid direct eye contact (Fig. 14)
WARNING
* AVOID EXPOSURE
Laser radiation is emitted from this aperture.
CAUTION
● Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
● The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard.
WARNING
Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the laser. If
unqualifi ed persons attempt to repair this laser product,
serious injury may result. Any repair required on this
laser product should be performed by a qualifi ed service
dealer.
