2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
(with Horizontal vise used)
USA007-2
Wavelength 655 nm, Maximum output 1mW (Laser Class II)
7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
203 mm (8")
165 mm (6-1/2")

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as damage to the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to slide compound saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
12 16 14 12
USB036-2
contact with any coasting blade. It can still cause severe injury.
3. Do not operate saw without guards in place. Check blade guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the open position.
4. Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide fence with a vise during all operations. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
4
Not Recommended
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.
7. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
8. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation.
9. Always secure all moving portions before carrying the tool.
10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations.
11. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately. Gum and wood
pitch hardened on blades slows saw and increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline to clean blade.
13. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can
occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the workpiece during a cutting operation and the saw blade is driven back rapidly towards the operator. Loss of control and serious personal injury can result. If blade begins to bind during a cutting operation, do not continue to cut and release switch immediately.
14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
15. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to these parts could result in blade breakage.
16. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured so it will not move during operation. Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool where operator positioning would be awkward.
17. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces, etc. from the table top before operation.
18. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.
19. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.
20. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn base in the lowest position.
21. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
22. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
23. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.
24. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
25. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
26. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON" position.
27. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.
28. Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such as abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
29. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of blade with left hand or vice versa. This is called cross-armed cutting and exposes user to risk of SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY as shown in the figure. ALWAYS use vise to secure workpiece.
000030
30. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp objects.
31. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top to speed cutting operations. Cut only one piece at a time.
32. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

In case of bevel-cutting, adjust the lower and upper fences position to be as close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, and make sure that no part of the tool, especially blade, contacts the lower and upper fences when lowering and raising the handle fully at any position and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way at the lowest position. Before cutting operations, make a dry run with the saw turned off and check clearance between fences and moving parts. Before cutting operations, firmly secure lower fences by tightening the clamping screws and upper fences by tightening the levers. When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't forget to return the upper fences to the original position and secure it.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod into the hole in the base. Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm contacts the carriage, install the screw on the opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise. 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 vise knob. Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the quick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after setting, turn it the vise knob clockwise.
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all operations.

By flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut to the right. Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece. The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured by the horizontal vise is 215 mm (8-1/2").
CAUTION:
Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can result in PERSONAL INJURY.
When cutting out thin workpiece, such as base
boards, against the fence, always use the horizontal vise.
Holders (Optional accessory)
1. Holder
2. Screw

The holders can be installed on either side as a convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally. Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then tighten the holders securely with the screws.
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.
14
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.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward
the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)
2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
1. Lock lever
2. Screw

Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise and also push forward the lock lever so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece with the vise.
009503
Workpieces up to 92 mm (3-5/8") high and 183 mm (7-1/4") wide can be cut in the following way. After turning the stopper lever clockwise and sliding the carriage to your desired position, push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the lock lever toward yourself to secure the carriage. 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.
CAUTION:
Firmly tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull
the lock lever toward yourself so that the carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected kickback of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL INJURY may result.
009504
Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Press down the handle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH 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.
CAUTION:
Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL
THE CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kickback unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious PERSONAL INJURY.
Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked
in the lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.
Never loosen the knob which secures the carriage
while the blade is rotating. This may cause serious injury.

3. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter angle".
4. Bevel cut
009505
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. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the way back toward the operator. 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 and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE 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.
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.
During a bevel cut, it may create a condition
whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade should be 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.
Before bevel-cutting, the adjustment of upper
fence and lower fence is required. Refer to the section titled "Guide fence adjustment".
5. Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed at angle shown in the table.

For both adjustments, do as follows.
1. Make sure that the tool is unplugged.
2. Draw the cutting line on the workpiece and place it on the turn table. At this time, do not secure the workpiece with a vise or similar securing device.
3. Lower the blade by lowering the handle and just check to see where the cutting line and the position of the saw blade is. (Decide which position to cut on the line of cut.)
4. After decision the position to be cut, return the handle to the original position. Secure the workpiece with the vertical vise without shifting the workpiece from the pre-checked position.
5. Plug the tool and turn on the laser switch.
6. Adjust the position of laser line as follows.
The position of laser line can be changed as the movable range of the adjusting screw for the laser is changed by turning two screws with a hex wrench. (The movable range of laser line is factory adjusted within 1 mm (0.04") from the side surface of blade.) To shift the laser line movable range further away from the side surface of blade, turn the two screws counterclockwise after loosening the adjusting screw. Turn these two screws clockwise to shift it closer to the side surface of the blade after loosening the adjusting screw. Refer to the section titled "Laser line action" and adjust the adjusting screw so that the cutting line on your workpiece is aligned with the laser line.
