CAUTION

○ This slide compound miter saw is equipped with a saw

head lock as safety device.

○ To lower the saw head to cut, the lock must be released

by pressing the lever (A) with your thumb.

(1) When you push down the handle while pushing the

lever (A), check that the lower guard revolves smoothly

(Fig. 6).

(2) Next, check that the lower guard returns to the original

position when the handle is raised.

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, 8 mm bolt (A) and 8 mm bolt (B).

When changing the adjustment, change the height of

the 8 mm set screw, 8 mm bolt (A), or 8 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. 7-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. 7-b.

11. Checking the saw blade lower limit position

Check that the saw blade can be lowered 9 mm to

10 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. 8)

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) Turn the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt, change the height

where the bolt head and the hinge contacts, and adjust

the lower limit position of the saw blade.

NOTE

Conﬁ rm that the saw blade is adjusted so that it will not

cut into the turntable.

PRIOR TO CUTTING

1. Cutting a groove on the guard

Holder (A) has a guard (see Fig. 10) into which a groove

must be cut when using the tool for the ﬁ rst time. Loosen

the 6 mm knob bolt to retract the guard slightly.

After placing a suitable wooden piece to sit on the

fence and the table surfaces, ﬁ x it with the vise. Slide

the motor head backwards to the end. Then tighten the

slide securing knob. After the switch has been turned on

and the saw blade has reached maximum speed, slowly

lower the handle to cut a groove on the guard. (See

Fig. 19)

CAUTION

Do not cut the groove too quickly; otherwise the guard

might become damaged.

Do not use slide cutting for grooving tasks.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

WARNING

○ To avoid personal injury, never remove or place a

workpiece on the table while the tool is being operated.

○ Never place your limbs inside of the line next to warning

sign while the tool is being operated (see Fig. 9). This

may cause hazardous conditions.

CAUTION

○ It is dangerous to remove or install the workpiece while

the saw blade is turning.

○ When sawing, clean oﬀ the shavings from the turntable.

○ If the shavings accumulate too much, the saw blade from

the cutting material will be exposed. Never subject your

hand or anything else to go near the exposed blade.

1. Switch operation

Pulling the trigger turns the switch on. Releasing the

trigger turns the switch oﬀ .

2. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)

(Fig. 11)

(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left

fence {Fence (B)} or the right fence {Fence (A)}.

(2) The screw holder can be raised or lowered according to

the height of the workpiece.

(3) Turn the upper knob and securely ﬁ x the workpiece in

position.

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. Positioning the table insert (Fig. 12)

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) Right angle cutting

Loosen the three 5 mm machine screws, then secure

the left side table insert and temporarily tighten the 5 mm

machine screws of both ends. Then ﬁ x a workpiece

(about 200 mm wide) with the vise assembly and cut it

oﬀ . After aligning the cutting surface with the edge of the

table insert, securely tighten the 5 mm machine screws

of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely

tighten the 5 mm 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 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.

4. Conﬁ rmation for use of sub fence (A) (Fig. 13)

WARNING

When right angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm wing bolt,

then slide the sub fence (A) outward and remove it.

Failure to do so may result in the main body or saw blade

coming into contact with the sub fence (A) and causing

injury.

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 wing bolt,

then slide the sub fence (A) outward and remove it, as

shown in Fig. 13.

5. Conﬁ rmation for use of sub fence (B) (Fig. 13)

WARNING

When left angle cutting, loosen the 6 mm wing 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.
