to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can

result in PERSONAL INJURY.

Holders

The holders can be installed on either side as a conve-

nient means of holding workpieces horizontally. Slip the

holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust their

length according to the workpiece to be held. Then

tighten the holders securely with the screws.

CAUTION:

• Always support long workpieces level with the top

surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to

prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.

Kerf block (optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• When using the kerf block, always cut at the same

miter angle.

• When changing the miter angle, use other kerf

blocks.

• When performing bevel cuts, never use the kerf

block.

Failure to do so splits the block, causing a serious injury

to operator.

When you use the kerf block at 90° cutting, you can splin-

ter-free cut in workpiece on the side of the guide fence

(height of the workpiece is up to 35 mm). Install the kerf

block onto the guide fence by means of the two screws.

(Adjust the guide fence and the kerf block so that they

contact their faces. Then tighten the screws securely.)

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the

lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.

• Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece, 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.

• During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward

the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage

movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be

left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will

be impaired.

1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)

Workpieces up to 91 mm (3-5/8”) high and 70 mm

(2-3/4”) wide can be cut in the following way.

Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and

tighten the knob clockwise to secure the carriage.

Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the

tool without the blade making any contact and wait

until the blade attains full speed before lowering.

Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered

position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is com-

pleted, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE

BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP

before returning the blade to its fully elevated posi-

tion.
