GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifi cations provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off -position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may aff ect the power toolʼs operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations diff erent from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
.
16
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifi cally
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fi re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modifi ed.
Damaged or modifi ed batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fi re, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fi re or temperature above 130°C may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specifi ed in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specifi ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fi re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infi rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infi rm persons.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER
SAW
a) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cutoff wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars,
rods, studs, etc.
Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower
guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the
lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you
must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from
either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to
cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped
or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is
an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or
held against both the fence and the table. Do not
feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand"
in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at
high speeds, causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull
the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise
the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece
without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head
down and push the saw through the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade
to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the
blade assembly towards the operator.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding
the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left
hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning.
The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand
may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the
outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make
certain that there is no gap between the workpiece,
fence and table along the line of the cut.
Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may
cause binding on tile spinning saw blade while cutting.
There should be no nails or foreign objects in the
workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high
speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately
clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift
during cutting.
j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a
level, fi rm work surface before use.
A level and fi rm work surface reduces the risk of the miter
saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence
is set correctly to support the workpiece and will
not interfere with the blade or the guarding system.
Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece
on the table, move the saw blade through a complete
simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or
danger of cutting the fence.
I) Provide adequate support such as table extensions,
saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or
longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table
can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by
the spinning blade.
17
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting
operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning
blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed
by any means against the spinning saw blade.
If confi ned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fi xture designed to properly
support round material such as rods or tubing.
Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the
blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the
blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece.
This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
miter saw off . Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the
jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause
lass of control or damage to the miter saw.
r) After fi nishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is
dangerous.
s) Hold the handle fi rmly when making an incomplete
cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the down position.
The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head
to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
PRECAUTIONS ON USING SLIDE
COMPOUND MITER SAW
1. Keep the fl oor area around the machine level. Well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips and
cut-off s.
2. Provide adequate general or localized lighting.
3. Do not use power tools for applications other than those
specifi ed in the handling instructions.
4. Repairing must be done only by authorized service
facility. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damages
and injuries due to the repair by the unauthorized

5. To ensure the designed operational integrity of power
tools, do not remove installed covers or screws.
6. Do not touch movable parts or accessories unless the
power source has been disconnected.
7. Use your tool at lower input than specifi ed on the
nameplate; otherwise, the fi nish may be spoiled and
working effi ciency reduced due to motor overload.
8. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent. Solvents such as
gasoline, thinner, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, alcohol,
may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them
with such solvent. Clean plastic parts with a soft cloth
lightly dampened with soapy water.
9. Use only original HiKOKI replacement parts.
10. The exploded assembly drawing on this handling
instructions should be used only for authorized service
facility.
11. Never cut ferrous metals or masonry.
12. Adequate general or localized lighting is provided.
Stock and fi nished workpieces are located close to the
operators normal working position.
13. Wear suitable personal protective equipment when
necessary, this could include:
Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing
loss.
Eye protection to reduce the risk of injuring an eye.
Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of
harmful dust.
Gloves for handling saw blades (saw blades shall be
carried in a holder wherever practicable) and rough
material.
14. The operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment
and operation of the machine.
15. Refrain from removing any cut-off s or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area whilst the machine is
running and the saw head is not in the rest position.
16. Never use the slide compound miter saw with its lower
guard locked in the open position.
17. Ensure that the lower guard moves smoothly.
18. Do not use the saw without guards in position, in good
working order and properly maintained.
19. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the
maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
20. Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed.
21. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed
steel.
22. Use only saw blades recommended by HiKOKI.
Use of saw blade comply with EN847-1.
23. The saw blades should be 185 mm external diameter.
24. Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.
25. Never operate the slide compound miter saw with the
saw blade turned upward or to the side.
26. Ensure that the workpiece is free of foreign matter such
as nails.
27. Replace the table insert when worn.
28. Do not use the saw to cut other than aluminium, wood or
similar materials.
29. Do not use the saw to cut other materials than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
30. Blade replacement procedure, including the method for
repositioning and a warning that this must be carried out
correctly.
31. Connect the slide compound miter saw to a dust
collecting device when sawing wood.
32. Take care when slotting.
33. Start cutting only after motor revolution reaches
maximum speed.
34. Promptly cut OFF the switch when abnormality observed.
35. Shut off power and wait for saw blade to stop before
servicing or adjusting tool.
36. During a miter or bevel cut the blade should not be lifted
until it has stopped rotation completely.
37. During slide cutting operation, the saw must be pushed
and slided away from the operator.
38. Take all the possibility of residual risks in cutting
operation into your consideration, such as the laser
radiation to your eyes, the inadvertent access to moving
parts on slide mechanical parts on machine and so on.
39. Ensure before each cut that the machine is stable.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted speed
is higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Do not replace the laser with a diff erent type.
40. Do not stand in a line with the saw blade In front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade. This
protects your body against possible kickback. Keep
hands, fi ngers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.
Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.
41. If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the
machine off and hold the workpiece until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop. To prevent kickback, the
workpiece may not be moved until after the machine has
come to a complete stop.
Correct the cause for the jamming of the saw blade
before restarting the machine.

4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,
and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,
etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and
batteries that have not been used for an extended period
is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when
using them the fi rst and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging
will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.
22
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If
you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and
the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and
recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
○ If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject to
direct sunlight or because the battery has just been
used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights
for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for
0.3 seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○ When the charge indicator lamp fl ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.
○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about
3 seconds to confi rm that the battery being charged with
UC18YSL3 is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds
before reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery
is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery may not be
properly charged.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
CAUTION
Pull out battery before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
When fi nished with a job, pull out the battery.
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the battery
installed to power tool while the switch is in the ON
position, the power tool will start operating immediately,
which could cause a serious accident.
3. Remove all packing materials attached or
connected to the tool before attempting to operate
it.

The sub tables help keep longer workpieces stable and
in place during the cutting operation.
(1) Loosen the 6 mm hex. socket bolts with 5 mm hex. bar
wrench (standard accessory). Insert the holder into the
base.
(2) Use a steel square for aligning the upper surface of the
sub tables with the base surface.
Turn the set screws, and adjust the height of the sub
tables.
(3) After adjustment, fi rmly tighten the 6 mm knob bolts and
fasten the holder with the 6 mm hex. socket bolts. If the
length of set screws is insuffi cient, spread a thin plate
beneath.
CAUTION
○ When transporting or carrying the tool, do not grasp the
sub tables or holders.
○ There is the danger of the sub tables or holders slipping
out of the base. Grasp the handle instead of the sub
tables or holders.

7. Attach the dust bag to the main unit (Fig. 1)
8. Installation (Fig. 4)
Ensure that the machine is always fi xed to bench.
Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench.
Select 8 mm diameter bolts suitable in length for the
thickness of the work bench.
Bolt length should be at least 40 mm plus the thickness
of the work bench.
For example, use 8 mm × 65 mm bolts for a 25 mm thick
work bench.
Turn the setscrew left or right to adjust the setscrew for
light contact with the fl oor.
9. Check to see that the lower guard operates
smoothly (Fig. 5)
The protective cover prevents physical contact with the
saw blade.
Make sure that the saw blade is covered and moves
smoothly.
10. Oblique angle
Before the power tool is shipped from the factory, it is
adjusted for 0°, right angle, left 45° bevel cutting angle
and right 45° bevel cutting angle with the 8 mm set
screw, 6 mm bolt (A) and 6 mm bolt (B).
When changing the adjustment, change the height of
the 8 mm set screw, 6 mm bolt (A), or 6 mm bolt (B) by
turning them.
When changing the bevel angle to the right 45°, pull the
set pin (A) on the direction shown in Fig. 6-b and incline
the motor head to the right.
When adjusting the motor head to 0°, always return the
set pin (A) to its initial position as shown in Fig. 6-a.
11. Checking the saw blade lower limit position
Check that the saw blade can be lowered 10 mm to
11 mm below the table insert.
When you replace a saw blade with a new one, adjust
the lower limit position so that the saw blade will not cut
the turntable or complete cutting cannot be done.
To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade, follow
the procedure (1) indicated below. (Fig. 7)
Furthermore, when changing the position of a 8 mm
depth adjustment bolt that serves as a lower limit position
stopper of the saw blade.

1. Switch operation (Fig. 11)
2. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)
(Fig. 12)
The vice assembly can be attached on the right or left of
the fence.
When attaching the vice assembly to the fence,
matching the groove or the v-groove of the vice shaft to
the upper surface of the fence will match the tip of the
6 mm knob bolt at the rear of the fence to the groove of
the vice shaft.
This will allow 3 levels of height adjustment for the vice
shaft.
(1) Adjust so that the tip of the 6 mm knob bolt matches the
groove of the vice shaft, and tighten the 6 mm knob bolt
to secure the vice shaft.
(2) Adjust the position of the screw holder, and tighten the
6 mm wing bolt on the rear of the screw holder to secure
the screw holder.
(3) Make sure to press the material against the surface of
the fence and secure the material by tightening the knob.
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 confi rm that the motor head does not contact the
vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If there is
any danger that it may do so, move the vise assembly to
a position where it will not contact the saw blade.
3. Cutting a groove on the table insert (Fig. 13)
A groove has to be cut in the table insert, before starting
operation. Secure a piece of wood about 125 mm (5")
wide to the turntable with the vise assembly, to prevent
the breakage of the table insert.
After the switch has been turned on and the saw blade
has reached its maximum speed, slowly lower the
handle to cut the piece of wood, and then a groove on
the table insert.
CAUTION
Do not cut the groove too quicky; otherwise the guard
might become damaged.
4. Positioning the table insert (Fig. 14)
Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When
shipping the tool from the factory, the table inserts are
so fi xed that the saw blade does not contact them. The
burr of the bottom surface of the workpiece is remarkably
reduced, if the table insert is fi xed so that the gap
between the side surface of the table insert and the saw
blade will be minimum. Before using the tool, eliminate
this gap in accordance with the following procedure.
(1) Loosen the four 5 mm pan head screws securing the
cutting edge plate and with the gap between the left and
right cutting edge plates widened, temporarily tighten all
the 5mm pan head screws.
(2) Then fi x a workpiece (about 200 mm wide) with the vise
assembly and cut it off . Align the cutting face with the
edge of the cutting edge plate, and tighten all the 5 mm
pan head screws.
CAUTION
After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting, the
table insert will be cut to some extent if it is used for bevel
angle cutting.
When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the
table insert for bevel angle cutting.
5. Confi rmation for use of sub fence (A) (Fig. 15)
WARNING
This power tool is equipped with a sub fence (A).
In the case of direct angle cutting and left bevel angle
cutting, use the sub fence (A). Then, you can realize
stable cutting of the material with a wide back face.
When right angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm knob bolt,
then remove sub fence (A). Failure to do so may result in
the main body or saw blade coming into contact with the
sub fence (A) and causing injury.
6. Confi rmation for use of sub fence (B) (Fig. 15)
WARNING
When left angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm knob bolt, then
slide the sub fence (B) outward. Failure to do so may
result in the main body or saw blade coming into contact
with the sub fence (B) and causing injury.
This power tool is equipped with a sub fence (B). In the
case of direct angle cutting and right bevel angle cutting,
use the sub fence (B). Then, you can realize stable
cutting of the material with a wide back face. When left
angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm knob bolt, then slide the
sub fence (B) outward, as shown in Fig. 15.
7. Using an ink line (Adjusting the guard) (Fig. 16)
(1) Right angle cutting
Loosen the 6 mm knob bolt and contact the tip of the
guard with the workpiece.
Aligning the ink line on the workpiece with the groove of
the guard, the workpiece is cut on the ink line.
(2) Miter cutting and compound cutting (Miter cutting +
bevel cutting)
Upon lowering the motor section, the lower guard is
raised and the saw blade appears.
Align the ink line with the saw blade.
CAUTION
In some arrangements when the turntable is rotated, the
guard projects from the fence surface. Loosen the 6 mm
knob bolt and push the guard to the retracted position.
Never lift the lower guard while the saw blade is rotating.
When cutting at an angle of 45° to the right or more,
please slide the guard to the rear. (Fig. 16)
The guard
only make contact and adversely aff ect cutting accuracy,
this could also result in damage to the guard.
8. Position adjustment of laser line
Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser
marker. A switch lights up the laser marker (Fig. 1).
Depending upon your cutting choice, the laser line can
be aligned with the left side of the cutting width (saw
blade) or the ink line on the right side.
The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at
the time of factory shipment. Adjust the positions of the
saw blade and the laser line taking the following steps to
suit the use of your choice.
(1) Light up the laser marker and make a groove of about 5
mm deep on the workpiece that is about 20 mm in height
and 150 mm in width. Hold the grooved workpiece by
vise as it is and do not move it. For grooving work, refer
to “19.
(2) Then, turn the adjuster and shift the laser line. (If you turn
the adjuster clockwise, the laser line will shift to the right
and if you turn it counterclockwise, the laser line will shift
to the left.) When you work with the ink line aligned with
the left side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the
left end of the groove (Fig. 17). When you align it with
the right side of the saw blade, align the laser line with
the right side of the groove.
and sub-fence (A) and sub-fence (B) will not
Groove cutting procedures”.
24
(3) After adjusting the position of the laser line, draw a right-
angle ink line on the workpiece and align the ink line
with the laser line. When aligning the ink line, slide the
workpiece little by little and secure it by vise at a position
where the laser line overlaps with the ink line. Work on
the grooving again and check the position of the laser
line. If you wish to change the laser line’s position, make
adjustments again following the steps from (1) to (3).
WARNING
○ Exercise utmost caution in handling a switch trigger for
the position adjustment of the laser line, as the battery
is installed during operation.
If the switch trigger is pulled inadvertently, the saw blade
can rotate and result in unexpected accidents.
○ Do not remove the laser marker to be used for other
purposes.
CAUTION (Fig. 18)
○ Laser radiation - Do not stare into beam.
○ Laser radiation on work table. Do not stare into beam. If
your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be
hurt.
○ Do not dismantle it.
○ Do not give strong impact to the laser marker (main body
of tool); otherwise, the position of a laser line can go out
of order, resulting in the damage of the laser marker as
well as a shortened service life.
○ Keep the laser marker lit only during a cutting operation.
Prolonged lighting of the laser marker can result in a
shortened service life.
○ Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specifi ed herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTE
○ Perform cutting by overlapping the ink line with the laser
line.
○
When the ink line and the laser line are overlapped, the
strength and weakness of light will change, resulting in a
stable cutting operation because you can easily discern the
conformity of lines. This ensures the minimum cutting errors.
○ In outdoor or near-the-window operations, it may
become diffi cult to observe the laser line due to the
sunlight. Under such circumstances, move to a place
that is not directly under the sunlight and engage in the
operation.
○ Check and make sure on a periodic basis if the position
of the laser line is in order. As regards the checking
method, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece with
the height of about 20 mm and the width of 150 mm, and
check that the laser line is in line with the ink line [The
deviation between the ink line and the laser line should
be less than the ink line width (0.5 mm)]. (Fig. 19)
9. Cutting operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 20 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.
If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left
side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the
laser line.
(2) After turning on the switch and checking that the saw
blade is rotating at maximum speed, slowly push down
the handle while holding down the lever (A) and bring the
saw blade in the vicinity of the material to be cut.
(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.
CAUTION
○ For maximum dimensions for cutting, refer to
“SPECIFICATIONS” table.
○
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 effi ciency.
○ Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the
battery has been removed whenever the tool is not in
use.
○ Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop
completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating,
the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw
blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
○ Every time one cutting of deep-cutting operation is
fi nished, turn the switch off , and check that the saw
blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it
to the full retract position.
○ Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the
top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
○ Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the
motor. Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting
operation once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then
restart your cutting operation.
10. Cutting narrow workpieces (Press cutting) (Fig. 21)
Slide the hinge down to holder (A), then tighten the slide
securing wing bolt (Fig. 1). Lower the handle to cut the
workpiece. Using the power tool this way will permit
cutting of workpieces of up to 58 mm height × 75 mm
width.
11. Cutting large workpieces (Fig. 22, 23)
There may be case when a complete cutting cannot be
done depending on the height of workpiece. In this case,
mount an auxiliary board with the 6 mm fl at head screws
and the 6 mm nuts using the 6.5 mm holes on the fence
surface (two holes on each side). (Fig. 22)
Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” for the thickness of the
auxiliary board.
NOTE
When cutting a workpiece exceeding 67 mm in height in
right-angle cutting or 45 mm in left bevel angle cutting or
22 mm in right bevel angle cutting, adjust the lower limit
position so that the base of the motor head will not come
in contact with the workpiece.
To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade, follow the
procedure (1) and (2) shown in Fig. 23.
(1) Tilt the stopper (B) and turn the stopper holder on the
side of the head towards the rear.
(2) Lower the motor head, and turn the 8 mm depth
adjustment bolt and make adjustments so that there can
be a clearance of 2 mm to 3 mm between the lower limit
position of the motor head and the top of the workpiece
at the saw blade's lower limit position where the head of
the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt contacts the hinge.
12. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting) (Fig. 24)
(1) Workpieces up to 58 mm high and 310 mm wide:
Loosen the slide securing wing bolt (Fig. 1), grip the
handle and slide the saw blade forward.
Then press down on the handle and slide the saw
blade back to cut the workpiece. This facilitates cutting
of workpieces of up to 58 mm in height and 310 mm in
width.
(2) Workpieces up to 67 mm high and 263 mm wide:
Workpieces of up to 67 mm in height and up to 263 mm
in width can be cut in the same manner as described in
paragraph 11 above.
(3) Spacers (D) can be used to minimize burrs on the
surface of materials when making slide cuts. (Fig. 24-b)
25
CAUTION
○ When cutting a workpiece of 67 mm height, adjust the
lower limit position of the motor head so that the gap
between the lower edge of the motor head and the
workpiece will be 2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position.
Refer to "11. Cutting large workpieces".
○ 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.
○ In slide cutting, gently push the handle back (rearwards)
in a single, smooth operation. Stopping the handle
movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting
marks on the workpiece.
WARNING
○ For slide cutting, follow the procedures.
Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very
dangerous because the saw blade could kick upward
from the workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle
away from the operator.
○ Always return the carriage to the full rear position after
each crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of
injury.
○ Never put your hand on the side handle during the
cutting operation because the saw blade comes close to
the side handle when the motor head is lowered.
13. Miter cutting procedures
(1) Loosen the side handle and pull up the lever for angle
stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator
aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 25).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the
desired position.
(3) The miter scale indicates both the cutting angle on the
angle scale and the gradient on the grade scale.
(4) The gradient, which is the ratio of the height to the base
of the triangular section to be removed, may be used
for setting the miter scale instead of the cutting angle, if
desired.
Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set the
indicator to position.
NOTE
○ Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0°
center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° settings.
Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator are
properly aligned.
○ Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator
out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly
tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.
14. Bevel cutting procedures (Fig. 26)
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the
left or to the right. When tilting the motor head to the right
pull the set pin (A) towards the rear.
The clamp lever adopts a latchet system. When
contacting the work bench and the main body, pull
the clamp lever in the direction of the arrow mark as
illustrated in Fig. 26, and change the direction of the
clamp lever.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while
watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then
secure the clamp lever.
WARNING
When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side
of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest
on the right or left side of the saw blade. Always turn the
power off and let the saw blade stop completely before
raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating,
the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw
blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start
cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial
position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the
lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of the
workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
CAUTION
When cutting a workpiece of 45 mm height in the left 45°
bevel cutting position or a workpiece of 22 mm height in
the right 45° bevel cutting position, adjust the lower limit
position of the motor head so that the gap between the
lower edge of the motor head and the workpiece will be
2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position (refer to “11.
large workpieces” on
15. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the
instructions in 12 and 13 above. For maximum dimensions
for compound cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table.
CAUTION
Always secure the workpiece with the right or left
hand and cut it by sliding the round portion of the saw
backwards with the left hand.
It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left
during compound cutting because the saw blade may
come into contact with the hand that is securing the
workpiece.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by left
bevel, slide the sub-fence (B) outward, and engage in
the cutting operation.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by right
bevel, remove the sub-fence (A), and engage in the
cutting operation.
16. Cutting long materials
When cutting long materials, use an auxiliary platform
which is the same height as the holder and base of the
special auxiliary equipment.
17. Crown molding cutting procedures
Fig. 28-a shows two common crown molding types
having angles of (θ) 38° and 45°.
For the typical crown molding fi ttings, see Fig. 28-b.
Fig. 28 shows the miter angle and the bevel angle
settings that are ideal for the two crown molding types.
NOTE
For convenience, positive stops are provided for the
miter setting (left and right 31.6°) positions.
For miter cut setting
If the turntable has been set to either of the angles
described, move the turntable adjusting side handle a
little to the right and left to stabilize the position and to
properly align the miter angle scale and the tip of the
indicator before the operation starts.
For bevel cut setting
Turn the clamp lever on bevel section to the left and
check that the position is stable and that the bevel angle
scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.
Then tighten the clamp lever.
18. Groove cutting procedures
Grooves in the workpiece can be cut by adjusting the 6
mm depth adjustment bolt (Fig. 29).
(1) Turn the stopper holder on the direction shown in
Fig. 29.
Lower the motor head, and turn the 6 mm depth
adjustment bolt by hand. (Where the head of the 6 mm
depth adjustment bolt contacts the hinge.)
(2) Adjust to the desired cutting depth by setting the
distance between the saw blade and the surface of the
base (Fig. 29).
NOTE
When cutting a single groove at either end of the
workpiece, remove the unneeded portion with a chisel.

(1) Connect the dust bag with the duct of power tool.
(2) When the dust bag has become full of sawdust, dust will
be blown out of the dust bag when the saw blade rotates.
Check the dust bag periodically and empty it before it
becomes full.
(3) During bevel and compound cutting, attach the dust bag
at the right angle to the base surface.
20. Connecting the dust extractor (Sold separately)
(Fig. 31)

has been disconnected from the power tool before
performing any maintenance or inspection of this tool.
Report to qualifi ed person as soon as possible, if you
discover the fault of machine including guards or blade
saw.
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the fi rst
sign of deterioration or damage.
A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and
a worn saw blade can cause ineff ective operation and
possible overload to the motor.
CAUTION
Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull,
its resistance to the hand pressure applied by the tool
handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate the
power tool.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, re-tighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
