CAUTION
Always confirm that the motor head does not contact
the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If there
is any danger that it may do so, move the vise assembly
to a position where it will not contact the saw blade.
(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on the base.
(2) Turn the upper knob and securely fix the workpiece in
position (Fig. 21).
NOTE
When using the vise, make sure that the tool is free of
any excessive contact when the unit is swung or slid.
4. Cutting operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 22 the width of the saw blade is the
width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the
right (viewed from the operator's position) when length
ⓑ is desired, or to the left when length ⓐ is desired.
Turn the LED light, project the shadow of the blade onto
the workpiece, align the left side or right side of shadow
of the blade with the ink line on the workpiece.
(2) After turning on the switch and checking that the saw
blade is rotating at maximum speed, slowly push down
the handle and bring the saw blade in the vicinity of the
material to be cut.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the
handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn
the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop
completely before raising the handle from the
workpiece to return it to the full retract position.
WARNING
○ Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the
battery has been removed from the power tool
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
finished, 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.
○ Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the
motor. Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting
operation once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then
restart your cutting operation.
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
efficiency.
5. Cutting narrow workpieces (Press cutting)
(Fig. 23)
Slide the hinge down to holder (A), then tighten the slide
securing knob. Lower the handle to cut the workpiece.
Using the power tool this way will permit cutting of
workpieces of up to 107 mm square.
6. Cutting large workpieces (Fig. 24)
There may be case when a complete cutting cannot be
done depending on the height of workpiece. In this
case, mount an auxiliary board with the 6 mm flat head
screws and the 6 mm nuts using the 7 mm holes on the
fence surface (two holes on each side). Refer to
"SPECIFICATIONS" for the thickness of the auxiliary
board.
NOTE
When cutting a workpiece exceeding 107 mm in height
in right-angle cutting or 70 mm in left bevel angle cutting
or 45 mm in right bevel angle cutting, adjust the lower
limit position so that the base of the motor head will not
come in contact with the workpiece.
To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade, follow
the procedure (1) shown in Fig. 25.
(1) Lower the motor head, and turn the 6 mm depth
adjustment bolt and make adjustments so that there
can be a clearance of 2 mm to 3 mm between the lower
limit position of the motor head and the top of the
workpiece at the saw blade's lower limit position where
the head of the 6 mm depth adjustment bolt contacts
the hinge.
7. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting) (Fig. 26)
(1) Workpieces up to 107 mm high and 312 mm wide:
Loosen the slide securing knob, grip the handle and
slide the saw blade forward. Then press down on the
handle and slide the saw blade backward to cut the
workpiece.
This facilitates cutting of workpieces of up to 107 mm in
height and 312 mm in width.
(2) Workpieces up to 120 mm high and 260 mm wide:
Workpieces of up to 120 mm in height and up to
260 mm in width can be cut in the same manner as
described in paragraph 6-(1) above.
WARNING
○ For slide cutting, follow the procedures. Forward slide
cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous
because the saw blade could kick upward from the
workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle away
from the operator.
○ Always return the carriage to the full rear position after
each crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of
injury.
○ Never put your hand on the miter lock handle during the
cutting operation because the saw blade comes close
to the miter lock handle when the motor head is
lowered.
CAUTION
○ When cutting a workpiece of 120 mm height, adjust the
lower limit position of the motor head so that the gap
between the lower edge of the motor head and the
workpiece will be 2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position.
○ If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral
force, the saw blade may vibrate during the cutting
operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the
workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.
Accordingly, press the handle down gently and
carefully.
○ In slide cutting, gently push the handle back (rearwards)
in a single, smooth operation. Stopping the handle
movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting
marks on the workpiece.
8. Bevel cutting procedures (Fig. 27)
WARNING
When changing the oblique angle, hold down the motor
head. If the motor head moves to an oblique angle
suddenly, it may result in injury or damage to the main
body.
(1) Loosen the bevel lock handle and bevel the saw blade
to the left or to the right.
To change the bevel angle to the right, loosen the bevel
lock handle, then pull out the set pin (A) toward the
front, and tilt the motor head to the right.
When the motor head is straight upright, the set pin (A)
is held tightly in place, so tilt the motor head slightly to
the left when pulling out the set pin (A) before tilting the
motor head to the right.
