Example:
In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding for
position (a) in the above figure:
•
Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9° LEFT.
•
Adjust and secure miter angle setting to 31.6°
RIGHT.
•
Lay crown molding with its broad back (hidden)
surface down on the turn base with its CEILING
CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on the
saw.
•
The finished piece to be used will always be on
the LEFT side of the blade after the cut has been
made.

Spacer block
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to cut thick or round
aluminum extrusions.
Thick aluminum extrusions
may come loose during operation and round alumi-
num extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this
tool.
Wood facing
WARNING:
Use screws to attach the wood
facing to the guide fence. The screws should be
installed so that the screw heads are below the
surface of the wood facing so that they will not
interfere with the positioning of the material being
cut.
Misalignment of the material being cut can case
unexpected movement during the cutting operation
which may result in a loss of control and serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use the straight wood of even
thickness as the wood facing.
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug
-
gested wood facing.

Holes
NOTICE:
When the wood facing is attached, do
not turn the turn base with the handle lowered.
The blade and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
NOTE:
The maximum cutting width will be smaller by
the width of wood facing.
Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 240 mm to 380 mm, use the set
plate (optional accessory). Install the set plate on the
holder (optional accessory) as shown in the figure.

Screw
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and
while holding the workpiece, move the set plate flush
against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the set
plate with the screw.
When the set plate is not used, loosen the screw and
turn the set plate out of the way.
NOTE:
Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional
accessory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to
2,200 mm approximately.
Carrying tool

Stopper pin
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade
at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at left miter angle
fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by carrying grip 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.
CAUTION:
Stopper pin is for carrying and
storage purposes only and not for any cutting
operations.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always be sure that the blade is
sharp and clean for the best and safest perfor-
mance.
Attempting a cut with a dull and /or dirty blade
may cause kickback and result in a serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
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:

Hex bolt
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the
turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. Tighten the grip and loosen the hex bolts secur-
ing the guide fence using the wrench. If the pointer
does not point to 0° on the miter scale, loosen the screw
which secures the pointer and move and secure the
pointer plate so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale.
