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
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.
6.
Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing
settings.
7. Remove battery from 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. Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, because it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
12.
Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
operation of the tool could create an explosion
and fire when exposed to flammable liquids or
gases.
13. 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.
14.
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 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.
15. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
16. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
17.
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
The electrical
a stable work platform or bench. NEVER use
tool where operator positioning would be
awkward.
18.
For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before
operation.
19. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
20. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
21. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
22. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
23. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
24. 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.
25. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
26. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
27. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.
28. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.
29. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
30. 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.

• When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
the support base of the saw, the material
should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to
keep the material level. Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise
to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag.
Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid
blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of 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. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, 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.
WARNING:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations. If the workpiece is not
properly secured against the fence the material
may move during the cutting operation causing
possible damage to the blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.

screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved
rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the
screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the
vise knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its
topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob is
forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the
projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise
knob back counterclockwise until the screw is released,
before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm (4-3/4").
WARNING:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is

WARNING:
• Always support a long workpiece so it is level
with the top surface of the turn base for an
accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of
tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• 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.
• 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.
WARNING:
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the
workpiece may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.

1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)
1. Clamp screw
1
011248
Workpieces up to 52 mm (2-1/16") high and 97 mm
(3-13/16") wide can be cut in the following manner.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide
poles clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure the
workpiece with the proper type of 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.
WARNING:
• Firmly tighten two clamping screws which
secure the slide poles clockwise so that the
carriage will not move during operation.
Insufficient tightening of the locking screw may
cause possible kickback which may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE
STOP before returning the blade to its fully
elevated position.
WARNING:
• Whenever performing a slide cut, first pull the
carriage full towards you and press the handle
all the way down, then push the carriage
toward the guide fence. Never start the cut with
the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If you
perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you unexpected kickback may occur
and serious personal injury may result.
• Never attempt to perform a slide cut by pulling
the carriage towards you. Pulling the carriage
towards you while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible serious personal
injury.
• Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked
in the lowered position.
• Never loosen the knob which secures the
carriage while the blade is rotating. A loose
carriage while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible in serious personal
injury.
3. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".
4. Bevel cut
011245
Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide
poles counterclockwise so that the carriage can
slide freely. Secure the workpiece with the proper
type of vise. 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 the handle down and PUSH THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND
THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is
completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL
011246
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
13
the blade to its fully elevated position.
WARNING:
• After setting the blade for a bevel cut, before
operating the tool ensure that the carriage and
blade will have free travel throughout the entire
range of the intended cut. Interruption of the
carriage or blade travel during the cutting operation
may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
• While making a bevel cut keep hands out of the
path of the blade. The angle of the blade may
confuse the operator as to the actual blade path
while cutting and contact with the blade will result in
serious personal injury.
• The blade should not be raised until it has
come to a complete stop. During a bevel cut the
piece cut off may come to rest against the blade. If
the blade is raised while it is rotating the cut-off
piece maybe ejected by the blade causing the
material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
NOTICE:
• 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.
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 the angle shown in the
table.

001563
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as
follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the
adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the
cutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm"
section described on previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the
workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the
figure. Then remove the workpiece material
between the grooves with a chisel.
WARNING:
• Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by
using a wider type blade or dado blade.
Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider blade
or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury
• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the
original position when performing other than
groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the
stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
