Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When shipping the tool from the factory, the table inserts
are so fixed 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 fixed 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) Right angle cutting
Loosen the three 6mm machine screws, then secure the left side table insert and temporarily tighten
the 6mm machine screws of both ends. Then fix a workpiece (about 7-7/8" (200mm) wide) with the
vise assembly and cut it off. After aligning the cutting surface with the edge of the table insert,
securely tighten the 6mm machine screws of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten
the 6mm center machine screw. Adjust the right hand table insert in the same way.
(2) Left and right bevel angle cutting
Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in Fig. 9-b and Fig. 9-c following the same procedure for
right angle cutting.
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.

3. Checking the saw blade lower limit position
Check that the saw blade can be lowered 13/32" to 7/16" (10mm to 11mm) below the table insert as
shown in Fig. 10-a.
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 procedures (1) to (4) indicated below. (Fig.
10-b)
Furthermore, when changing the position of a 8mm depth adjustment bolt that serves as a lower limit
position stopper of the saw blade, it becomes necessary to shift the position of a 8mm hexagon socket
set screw that is in the screw hole for the 8mm depth adjustment bolt that serves as the stopper.

* 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
specified 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 difficult 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.
* Do not tug on the cord behind the motor head or hook your finger, wood and the like around
it; otherwise, the cord may come off and the laser marker may not be lit up.

WARNING: Always remove the lock-off button from the handle when the power tool is not in
use. This will ensure that the power tool cannot be turned on accidentally or by
someone (especially a child) who is not qualified to use the power tool. If the lock-off
button is left in the handle, serious personal injury can result. Since the lock-off button
fits rather tightly, it may be necessary to turn it to the left and right during mounting
and removing.
2. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)
The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left fence (Fence
(B)) or the right fence (Fence (A)), and can be raised or lowered
according to the height of the workpiece.
To raise or lower the vise assembly, first loosen the 6mm knob
bolt. As shown in Fig. 26, the vise shaft has three locking grooves
into which the tip of the 6mm wing bolt is designed to fit in order
to lock the screw holder in the desired position.
To ensure that the tip of the 6mm wing bolt is properly aligned
with the desired locking groove on the vise shaft, simply align the
upper surface of the fence to either of three v-grooves on the vise
shaft surface or to the lower surface of the screw holder.
Therefore, the vise assembly can be attached in either of three
positions to ensure proper height adjustment.
After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt; then
turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely attach the workpiece
in position.

right (viewed from the operator’s position) when length
b is desired, or to the left when length a is desired.
(Only Model C10FSH)
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) 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.
19
English
WARNING: *Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed
from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
* Always remove the lock-off button from the handle and store it in a secure place
after completing the work.
* 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 or deep-cutting operation is finished, 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.

in paragraph 6-(1) above.
20
CAUTION: * When cutting a workpiece of 3-11/32" (85mm) 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 3/32" to 1/8" (2 to 3mm) at the lower limit position.
* 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 indicated above in Fig. 30.
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.

(3) Follow the procedures indicated in paragraphs 4,5 and 6 above. For maximum dimensions for bevel
cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table on page 9.
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 safety cover to be caught in
the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
CAUTION: When cutting a workpiece of 2-3/8" (60mm) height in the left 45° bevel cutting position
or a workpiece of 1-3/8" (35mm) 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 5/64" to 1/8" (2 to 3mm) at the lower limit
position (refer to “3. Checking the saw blade lower limit position” on page 13).

(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. 32).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the desired
position.
(3) The miter scale (Fig. 33) 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 (see Fig. 33).
(5) Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set the indicator
to position a as indicated in Fig. 33.
NOTE: * Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0°
center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° 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.
Fig. 34
9. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 7 and 8 above. For maximum
dimensions for compound cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table on page 9.
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, turn the sub-fence
counterclockwise, and engage in the cutting operation.
