Returning the blade guard
Slip the pin on the blade guard into the slot in the guide
arm while returning the blade guard to its original fully
closed position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure
that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft
lock has released spindle before making cut.

Fastener
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it
onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from
the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its
contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles adhering
to the insides which might hamper further collection.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
•
It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise.
Failure to do so can cause the tool to be dam-
aged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed.
PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also,
after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION:
•
When cutting long workpieces, use supports
that are as high as the top surface level of the
turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise
and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

Vise knob
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 15° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side oppo-
site the direction in which the turn base is to be turned.
By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw
is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in
and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise
knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its
topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob
is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise,
the projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn
the vise knob back counterclockwise until the screw is
released, before turning again gently clockwise.
CAUTION:
•
Grip the workpiece only when the projection is
at the topmost position. Failure to do so may
result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This could cause the workpiece to be thrown,
cause damage to the blade or cause the loss
of control, which can result in PERSONAL
INJURY.

Guide fence
The vertical vise can be installed in the position on
either the left or right side of the guide fence. Insert the
vise rod into the hole in the guide fence and tighten the
screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the oppo-
site side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the way.
If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
•
The workpiece must be secured firmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations.
Installing the holders (optional
accessories)

OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
Before use, be sure to release the handle from
the lowered position by turning the handle latch
to the released position.
•
Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
•
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
•
Gently press down the handle to perform the
cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if
lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.
