A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the
adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the
cutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm"
section described on previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the
workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the
figure. Then remove the workpiece material
between the grooves with a chisel.
WARNING:
•
Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by using a
wider type blade or dado blade.
Attempting to make a
groove cut with a wider blade or dado blade could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may result
in serious personal injury
•
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the
original position when performing other than
groove cutting.
Attempting to make cuts with the
stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.

Make sure that the battery cartridge is removed. Secure
the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at the full
right miter angle position. Secure the slide poles so that
the lower slide pole is locked in the position of the carriage
fully pulled to operator and the upper poles are locked in
the position of the carriage fully pushed forward to the
guide fence. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the
lowered position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily.
CAUTION:
•
Always secure all moving portions before carrying
the tool. If portions of the tool move or slide while
being carried loss of control or balance may occur
resulting in personal injury.
WARNING:
•
Stopper pin is only for carrying and storage
purposes and should never be used for any
cutting operations.
The use of the stopper pin for
cutting operations may cause unexpected
movement of the saw blade resulting in kickback
and serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
WARNING:
•
Always be sure that the blade is sharp and
clean for the best and safest performance.
Attempting a cut with a dull and /or dirty blade may
cause kickback and result in a serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
1. Miter
angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten two clamp screws to secure the carriage.
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the
turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and
counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter
notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)
