CAUTION
○ For maximum dimensions for cutting, refer to
"SPECIFICATIONS" table.
○ Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the
cutting speed. On the contrary, too much pressure may
result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
effi ciency.
○ Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the
power plug has been removed from the receptacle
whenever the tool is not in use.
○ 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.
○ Every time one cutting of deep-cutting operation is
fi nished, turn the switch off , and check that the saw
blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it
to the full retract position.
○ Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the
top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
10. Miter cutting procedures
(1) Loosen the side handle and push the lever for angle
stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator
aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 16).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the
desired position.
NOTE
○ Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0°
center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° settings.
Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator
are properly aligned.
○ Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator
out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly
tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.
CAUTION
Never remove the side handle; use of the tool without it
would be hazardous.
To prevent an accident or personal injury always fi rmly
tighten the miter handle.
11. Bevel cutting procedures (Fig. 17 and Fig. 18)
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the
left.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting
while watching the bevel angle scale and indicator,
then secure the clamp lever.
WARNING
○ 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
safety cover to be caught in the cutting groove of the
workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
12. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the
instructions in 9 and 10 above. For maximum dimensions
for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS"
table.
12
CAUTION
Always secure the workpiece with the right hand side
for compound cutting. Never rotate the table to the
right for compound cutting, because the saw blade
might then contact the clamp or vise that secures the
workpiece, and cause personal injury or damage.
13. Installing the holders (Optional accessory)
The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and in
place during the cutting operation.
(1) As indicated in Fig. 19, use a steel square for aligning
the upper edge of the holders with the base surface.
Loosen the 6 mm wing nut. Turn a height adjustment
bolt 6 mm, and adjust the height of the holder.
(2) After adjustment, fi rmly tighten the wing nut and
fasten the holder with the 6 mm knob bolt (optional
accessory). If the length of Height Adjustment Bolt 6
mm is insuffi cient, spread a thin plate beneath. Make
sure the end of Height Adjustment Bolt 6 mm does not
protrude from the holder.
14. Stopper for precision cutting (Stopper and holder
are optional accessory)
The stopper facilitates continuous precision cutting in
lengths of 280 mm to 450 mm.
To install the stopper, attach it to the holder with the 6
mm wing bolt as shown in Fig. 20.
15. Confi rmation for use Crown molding vise, Crown
molding Stopper (L) and (R) (Optional accessory)
(1) Crown molding Stopper (L) and (R) (optional
accessories) allow easier cuts of crown molding without
tilting the saw blade. Install them in the base both-sides
side to be shown in Fig. 21. After inserting tighten the
6 mm knob bolts to secure the Crown molding Stoppers.
(2) The crown molding vise (B) (Optional accessory) can
be mounted on either the left fence (Fence (B)) or the
right fence (Fence (A)). It can unite with the slope of the
crown molding and vice can be pressed down.
Then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely
attach the crown molding in position. To raise or lower
the vise assembly, fi rst loosen the 6 mm wing bolt.
After adjusting the height, fi rmly tighten the 6 mm wing
bolt; then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely
attach the crown molding in position (See Fig. 22).
Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT EDGE
against the guide fence and its CEILING CONTACT
EDGE against the Crown molding Stoppers as shown in
Fig. 22. Adjust the Crown molding Stoppers according
to the size of the crown molding.
Tighten the 6 mm wing bolt to secure the Crown molding
Stoppers.
WARNING
Always fi rmly clamp or vise to secure the crown molding
to the fence; otherwise the crown molding might be
thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.
Do not bevel cutting. The main body or saw blade may
contact the sub fence, resulting in an injury.
CAUTION
Always confi rm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does
not contact the crown molding vise assembly when it
is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may
do so, loosen the 6 mm knob bolt and move the crown
molding vise assembly to a position where it will not
contact the saw blade.
