ENGLISH
STOCK STOP ADJUSTMENT (fig. 17)
• When you want to cut the workpiece as same length size constantly, you can use
the stock stop.
• Make sure the stock stop on the left and right extension table can be swung up as
the illustrated.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by
pulling the stop pin. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the
switch is turned on. Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting.
Too much force may result in the motor overloading and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much force as is necessary for smooth
cutting, without a 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.
PRESS CUTTING (CUTTING SMALL WORKPIECES) (fig. 18)
Workpieces up to 5 cm wide and 20 cm long can be cut in the following way:
push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and tighten the locking knob clockwise
to secure the carriage.
Secure the workpiece with the clamp. Switch on the tool without the blade making
any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently
lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is
completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE COMES TO A
COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
Firmly tighten the locking knob clockwise so that the carriage will not
move during operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected kickback of
the blade. Possible SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY may result.
SLIDE (PUSH) CUTTING (CUTTING WIDE WORKPIECES) (fig. 19)
Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so that the carriage can slide freely.
Secure the workpiece with the clamp. Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on
the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade get up to full
speed. Press down the handle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE
GUIDE FENCE. AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed,
switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE
STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
When performing a slide cut, PULL THE CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU
FULLY and press down the handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER START THE CUT WITH THE
CARRIAGE NOT FULLY PULLED TOWARD YOU.
