WARNING:
This will ensure that the power tool cannot be turned on accidentally
or by someone (especially a child) who is not quali
fi
ed to use the
power tool.
To prevent unauthorized operation of this tool, insert a padlock to
the hole in the switch trigger to disable the use of the switch.
2. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)
(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on either left side of the fence or right
side of the fence by loosening the 6mm wing bolt (A).
(2) The screw holder can be raised or lowered according to the height of
the workpiece by loosening the 6mm wing bolt (B). After the adjustment,
fi
rmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt (B) and
fi
x the screw holder.
(3) Turn the upper knob and securely
fi
x the workpiece in position (Fig. 14).

WARNING:
Always
fi
rmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence;
otherwise the workpiece might be thrust from the table and cause
bodily harm.
CAUTION:
Always
con
fi
rm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does not contact
the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any
danger that it may do so, loosen the 6 mm wing bolt (B) and move
the vise assembly to a position where it will not contact the saw
blade.
3. Cutting
Operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 15 the width of the saw blade is the width of the cut.
Therefore, slide the workpiece to the right (viewed from the operator’s
position) when length
ⓑ
is desired, or to the left when length
ⓐ
is
desired.
(2) Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push the handle down
carefully until the saw blade approaches the workpiece.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down
gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the power tool OFF
and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the
workpiece to return it to the full retract position.

WARNING:
∗
Con
fi
rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power
plug has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool
is not in use.
∗
When you cut the workpiece, avoid any cuto
ff
thinner than
the clearance between the cutting edge and the saw blade.
Otherwise, the cut-o
ff
material can enter the clearance between
the cutting edge and the saw blade and scatter around you,
resulting in an injury.
CAUTION:
∗
Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting
speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of
the motor and/or decreased cutting e
ffi
ciency.
∗
If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the
saw blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause
unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the
quality of the cut. Accordingly, press the handle down gently
and carefully.
4. Miter cutting procedures
(1) Loosen the side handle and push the lever for angle stoppers. Then,
adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with desired setting on the
miter scale (Fig. 16).
(2) Re
-
tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the desired position.
