WARNING
●
Con
fi
rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and
the battery has been removed 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 or deep-cutting operation
is
fi
nished, turn the trigger 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 at once and
rest for 10 minutes or so, and then restart your
cutting operation.
4. Miter cutting procedures
(1) Loosen the side handle and push the lever for angle
stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator

NOTE
○
Positive stops are provided at the right and left of
the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45°
settings.
○
Check that the miter scale and the tip of the
indicator are properly aligned.
○
Operation of the saw with the miter scale and
indicator out of alignment, or with the side
handle not properly tightened, will result in poor
cutting precision.
CAUTION
Never remove the side handle; use of the tool
without it would be hazardous.
To prevent an accident or personal injury always
fi
rmly tighten the miter handle.
5. Bevel cutting procedures
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the
left.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while
watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then
secure the clamp lever.

WARNING
When the workpiece is secured on the left or
right side of the blade, the short cut-o
ff
portion
will come to rest on the right or left side of the
saw blade. 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.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation
halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor
head to the initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back,
causes the safety cover to be caught in the
cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact
the saw blade.
6. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following
the instructions in 4 and 5 above. For maximum
dimensions for compound cutting, refer to
“SPECIFICATIONS” table on page 13.
