(optional accessories)

012656

The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on

either side as a convenient means of supporting

workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the

figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the

holders and the holder assembly.

When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod

assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder

assemblies and two rods 12.

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.

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.

1. Press cutting

003830

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

completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL

THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP

before returning the blade to its fully elevated

position.

2. Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter

angle".

3. Bevel cut

003831

Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the

bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered

"Adjusting the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten

the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle

safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Switch on

the tool without the blade making any contact and

wait until the blade attains full speed. Then gently

lower the handle to the fully lowered position while

applying pressure in parallel with the blade. When

the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT

UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE

STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated

position.

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the blade will move down to

bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out

of path of saw blade.
