FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Quick stop for 3, 4, or 6 mm board
thickness groove cutting
By turning the quick stop, you can choose the appro-
priate depth of groove cutting for 3, 4, or 6 mm board
thickness swiftly.
The number, seen from the handle side, indicates the
workpiece board thickness.
For fine adjustment of depth of groove, use the depth
adjusting knob.
► Fig.7: 1. Quick stop 2. Depth adjusting knob
0 mm depth is set properly when the tool is shipped
from the factory, but if you changed the depth of groove
by the adjusting knob, refine the 0 mm depth as follows:
1. Turn the quick stop to 0 mm.
2. Turn the depth adjusting knob to adjust the depth.
3. Make sure that the blade does not make any
contact with work piece.
4. Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the front grip
and the other on the tool handle. Push in the lock-off
button, and turn the tool on.
5. Slowly press down the saw head fully, and check
whether the groove cutter blade does not contacts but
almost touches the workpiece. If not, stop the tool and
wait until the groove cutter blade stops completely, and
adjust the depth by turning the depth adjusting knob
again.
Adjusting depth of cut
To adjust depth of cut, turn the depth adjusting knob.
For deeper cut, turn it clockwise. For shallower cut, turn
it counterclockwise.

Sighting
Triangular mark on the base indicates the center of the
groove cutter blade.
When using with groove cutter blade, align the outside
triangular mark with the cutting line.
When using with circular saw blade (optional acces-
sory), align the inside triangular mark with the cutting
line.

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.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, push in the lock-off button and pull the
switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.

Speed adjusting dial
CAUTION:
The speed adjusting dial is not for
using low speed rated blades but for obtaining a
speed which is suitable to material of workpiece.
Use only blades which are rated for at least the maxi-
mum no load speed stated in the SPECIFICATIONS.
CAUTION:
The speed adjusting dial can be
turned only as far as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it
past 6 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may
no longer work.
The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 6; lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.
