WARNING
○
Make sure before plugging the power plug into the
receptacle that the main body and the laser marker are
turned o
ff
.
○
Exercise utmost caution in handling a switch trigger for
the position adjustment of the laser line, as the power
plug is plugged into the receptacle during operation.
If the switch trigger is pulled inadvertently, the saw blade
can rotate and result in unexpected accidents.
○
Do not remove the laser marker to be used for other
purposes.
CAUTION (Fig. 16)
○
Laser radiation - Do not stare into beam.
○
Laser radiation on work table. Do not stare into beam. If
your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be
hurt.
○
Do not dismantle it.
○
Do not give strong impact to the laser marker (main body
of tool); otherwise, the position of a laser line can go out
of order, resulting in the damage of the laser marker as
well as a shortened service life.
○
Keep the laser marker lit only during a cutting operation.
Prolonged lighting of the laser marker can result in a
shortened service life.
○
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those speci
fi
ed herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTE
○
Perform cutting by overlapping the ink line with the laser
line.
○
When the ink line and the laser line are overlapped, the
strength and weakness of light will change, resulting in a
stable cutting operation because you can easily discern the
conformity of lines. This ensures the minimum cutting errors.
○
In outdoor or near-the-window operations, it may
become di
ffi
cult to observe the laser line due to the
sunlight. Under such circumstances, move to a place
that is not directly under the sunlight and engage in the
operation.
○
Check and make sure on a periodic basis if the position
of the laser line is in order. As regards the checking
method, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece with
the height of about 20 mm and the width of 150 mm, and
check that the laser line is in line with the ink line [The
deviation between the ink line and the laser line should
be less than the ink line width (0.5 mm)]. (
Fig. 17
)
8. Cutting operation
(1) As shown in
Fig. 18
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.
If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left
side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the
laser line.
(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.
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 e
ffi
ciency.
○
Con
fi
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 o
ff
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-o
ff
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 o
ff
, 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.
9. Cutting narrow workpieces (Press cutting) (Fig. 19)
Slide the hinge down to holder (A), then tighten the
slide securing knob (
Fig. 2
). Lower the handle to cut
the workpiece. Using the power tool this way will permit
cutting of workpieces of up to 107 mm square.
10. Cutting large workpieces (Fig. 20, 21)
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
fl
at head screws
and the 6 mm nuts using the 7 mm holes on the fence
surface (two holes on each side). (
Fig. 20
)
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. 21
.
(1) Lower the motor head, and turn the 8 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 8 mm depth adjustment bolt contacts the hinge.
11. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting) (Fig. 22)
(1) Workpieces up to 107 mm high and 312 mm wide:
Loosen the slide securing knob (A) (
Fig. 2
), grip the
handle and slide the saw blade forward.
Then press down on the handle and slide the saw blade
back 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 15-(1) above.
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.
