depth adjusting bolt by turning it with the socket wrench.
The saw blade is lowered by turning the depth adjusting
bolt counterclockwise and raised by turning it clockwise.
Adjust so that when the handle is in the fully lowered
position, there will be a distance of about 135 mm from
the front face of the guide fence to the point where the
front edge of the blade enters the kerf. With the tool
unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while holding the
handle all the way down. Be sure that the blade does not
contact any part of the lower base when the handle is
lowered completely.
Positioning for adjusting the miter angle (Fig. 20)
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the
turn base while pressing down the latch spring. When
you have moved the grip to the position where the pointer
indicates 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.
Positioning for adjusting the bevel angle
(Fig. 21 &22)
The saw blade tilts up to 45° to the left only when the
sub-fence is set to the left position as shown in Fig. 17.
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of
the tool. Tilt the blade to the left so that the pointer indicates the desired angle on the bevel scale. Then tighten
the lever firmly to secure the arm.
CAUTION:
When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece
properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do so can
cause the tool to be damaged and/or the workpiece to be
destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT.
Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
1. Vertical vise (Fig. 23 &27)
The vertical vise can be installed on the guide
fence or the holder assembly (optional accessory).
Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence or
the holder assembly and tighten the screw to secure
the vise rod. Position the vise arm according to the
thickness and shape of the workpiece and secure
the vise arm by tightening the screw. Press the
workpiece flat against the guide fence and the turn
base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the clamp
screw.
12
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations.
If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise
arm. Press the workpiece flat against the guide
fence and the turn base. Position the workpiece at
the desired cutting position and secure it firmly by
tightening the clamp screw of the vise.
CAUTION:
When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are
as high as the top surface level of the turn base.
(Fig. 24)
2. Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
(Fig. 25& 26)
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left
or right side of the base. When performing 15° or
greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the
side opposite the direction in which the turn table is
to be turned. By turning the knob on the vise counterclockwise, the screw is released and the vise
shaft can be moved rapidly in and out. By turning the
knob clockwise, the screw remains secured. To grip
workpieces, turn the knob gently clockwise until the
projection reaches its topmost position, then fasten
securely. If the knob is forced in or pulled out while
being turned clockwise, the projection may stop at
an angle. In this case, turn the knob back counterclockwise until the screw is released, before turning
again gently clockwise.
3. Holders and holder assembly(optional accessories)
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 Fig. 27. Then tighten the screws firmly to
secure the holders and the holder assembly.
(Fig. 27)
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two
holder assemblies and two rods 12. (Fig. 28)
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 low-
ered 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.
• 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.
When cutting with this tool, the thickness of the blade is
cut out of the workpiece as well. Therefore, your cutting
line should be on either the left or right side of the groove
in the kerf board. Switch on the tool and wait until the
blade attains full speed before lowering gently into the
cut. When the blade contacts the workpiece, gradually
bear down on the handle to perform the cut. 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. A
thin piece of cut off material could otherwise contact the
coasting blade and be thrown around dangerously.
(Fig. 29)
1. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered “Positioning for
adjusting the miter angle”.
2. Bevel cut (Fig. 30)
• Left 0° –45° bevel cuts can be performed.
• Set the sub-fence to the left position as shown in
Fig. 17. Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to
set the bevel angle. Be sure to retighten the lever
firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely.
Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the
tool 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:
• When performing the bevel cut with the workpiece
secured on the left side of the turn base, it will create a condition where the piece cut off will come to
rest on the blade. If the blade is raised while the
blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught in
the blade, causing fragments to be scattered
around which is dangerous. The blade should be
gently raised only after the blade has come to a
complete stop.
• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in
parallel with the blade. If a force is applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressure direction is changed during a cut, the precision of the
cut will be impaired.
• Always set the sub-fence to the left position as
shown in Fig. 17 when performing bevel cuts.
3. Compound cutting
Compound cutting can be performed at angle shown
in the table below.
Bevel angle Miter angle

4. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 31)
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer
blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in Fig. 31 to prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting
lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion to
prevent build-up of the aluminum material on the
blade.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose
during operation and round aluminum extrusions
cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
5. Wood facing (Fig.32)
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide
fence using the holes in the guide fence.
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
facing.
•See Fig. 32 concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.
6. Cutting repetitive lengths (Fig. 33)
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 240 mm to 400 mm, use of the
set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more efficient operation. Install the set plate on the holder as
shown in Fig. 33. Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the left or right side of the groove in
the kerf board, and while holding the workpiece from
moving, move the set plate flush against the end of
the workpiece. Then secure the set plate with the
screw. When the set plate is not used, loosen the
screw and turn the set plate out of the way.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
1) Miter angle (Fig. 34& 35)
Loosen the grip and set the turn base at zero
degrees by turning the turn base. Tighten the grip
securely and loosen the hex bolts on the guide
fence. Square the side of the blade with the face of
the guide fence using a triangular rule, try-square,
etc. by moving the right side of the guide fence.
Then securely tighten the hex bolts on the guide
fence in the order indicated in Fig. 35.
2) Bevel angle
i) 0° bevel angle
Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool. Loosen
the hex nut and turn the hex bolt (A) two or three
revolutions clockwise so that the blade tilts to the
right. (Fig. 36)
Lower the handle fully and square the side of the
blade with the top surface of the turn base using
the triangular rule, try-square, etc. by turning the
hex bolt (A) counterclockwise. Then tighten the
hex nut to secure the hex bolt (A). (Fig. 37)
Make sure that the pointer on the arm indicates
0° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If the
pointer does not indicate 0°, loosen the screw
securing the pointer and adjust the pointer.
(Fig. 38)
ii) 45° bevel angle
Adjust 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°
bevel angle adjustment. To adjust 45° bevel angle,
loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to the left
fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm indicates 45° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If
the pointer does not indicate 45°, turn the hex bolt
(B) on the side of the arm until the pointer indicates 45°. (Fig. 38)
