or gases.
11. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before
operation.
Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
12. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
Bench mounting
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the
lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper
pin by lowering the handle slightly and pulling the stopper
pin.
(Fig. 1)
This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
(Fig. 2)
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Blade guard (Fig. 3)
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises
automatically. The blade guard returns to its original
position when the cut is completed and the handle is
raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE BLADE
GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the
blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of
the blade guard should be corrected immediately. NEVER
USE THE TOOL WITH A FAULTY BLADE GUARD.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and
clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic
guard.
Positioning kerf board (Fig. 4 & 5)
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base.
The kerf boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade
does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the
kerf boards as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on left
and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them only
to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily moved
by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the stopper
pin to lock the handle in the lowered position. Loosen the
knob which secures the slide poles. Pull the carriage
toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf
boards just contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten
the front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf boards so
that the kerf boards just contact the sides of blade teeth.
Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly).
