Stopper arm

The lower limit position of the blade can be easily

adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, rotate the

stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the

figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops

at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.

Adjusting the miter angle

Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the

turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you

have moved the grip to the position where the pointer

points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely

tighten the grip clockwise.

CAUTION:

• When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the

handle fully.

• After changing the miter angle, always secure the

turn base by tightening the grip firmly.

Adjusting the bevel angle

To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of

the tool counterclockwise. Unlock the arm by pushing the

handle somewhat strongly in the direction that you intend

to tilt the saw blade.

Tilt the saw blade until the pointer points to the desired

angle on the bevel scale. Then tighten the lever clock-

wise firmly to secure the arm.

CAUTION:

• When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the

handle fully.

• After changing the bevel angle, always secure the

arm by tightening the lever clockwise.

• When changing bevel angles, be sure to position

the kerf boards appropriately as explained in the

“Positioning kerf boards” section.

Switch action

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see

that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns

to the “OFF” position when released.

• When not using the tool, remove the lock-off button

and store it in a secure place. This prevents

unauthorized operation.

• Do not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing

in the lock-off button. This can cause switch

breakage.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally

pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,

press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.

Release the switch trigger to stop.

WARNING:

• NEVER use tool without a fully operative switch

trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch is

HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be repaired

before further usage.
