001544
The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust
their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.
CAUTION:
Always support long workpieces level with the top
•
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.
Kerf block (optional accessory)

004861
CAUTION:
When using the kerf block, always cut at the same
•
miter angle.
When changing the miter angle, use other kerf
•
blocks.
When performing bevel cuts, never use the kerf
•
block.
Failure to do so splits the block, causing a serious injury
to operator.
When you use the kerf block at 90° cutting, you can
splinter-free cut in workpiece on the side of the guide
fence (height of the workpiece is up to 35 mm). Install
the kerf block onto the guide fence by means of the two
screws. (Adjust the guide fence and the kerf block so
that they contact their faces. Then tighten the screws
securely.)

OPERATION
CAUTION:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
•
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
•
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
•
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If
•
the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a
mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut will be impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward
•
the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be
left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut
will be impaired.
