5. Repositioning riving knife (Fig. 51)

The position of riving knife (Fig. 51-A) should be

changed as follows.

(1) Loosen the clamping nut and hold the lower blade

guard A using its lug by hand. (Fig. 51-B)

(2) While holding the lower blade guard A, pull the

riving knife so that it turns and pivot it to the posi-

tion in the direction of arrow. (Fig. 51-C)

(3) With the riving knife held in that position, return

the lower blade guard A to the original position

and tighten the clamping nut securely. (Fig. 51-D

& E)

6. Installing or removing the sub fences R and L

(Fig. 52)

CAUTION:

• When cutting a workpiece over 20 mm thick, make sure

that the sub fences R and L are securely installed with

a screw.

Removal of the sub fences R and L are convenient for

cutting wide and thin workpiece.

When cutting a workpiece up to 20 mm thick and more

than 180 mm wide, remove the sub fences R and L by

removing the screw shown in the figure.

When cutting a workpiece over 20 mm thick, install the

sub fences R and L securely with a screw.

Refer to the table below for the relation between the size

of workpiece and use/unuse of sub fences R and L.

(Fig. 53)

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the low-

ered position by pulling the stopper pin and turning it to

the angle of 90°.

• Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece,

etc. before the switch is turned on.

CUTTING AS MITER SAW

WARNING:

• Make sure that the lower blade guard C is installed

before using in miter saw mode.

CAUTION:

• 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.

1. Press cutting

Secure the workpiece against guide fence and turn

table. 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.

2. Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter

angle”.

3. Bevel cut

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 against guide fence and turn table. 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. 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 rotat-

ing, 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 the handle down, apply pressure paral-

lel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the

blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might be

shifted and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

4. 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.

When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press

cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.

5. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 56)

When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer

blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to pre-

vent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubri-

cant when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent

buildup of the aluminum material on the blade.

CAUTION:

• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extru-

sions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose dur-

ing operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot

be secured firmly with this tool.

• Never cut aluminum in the table saw mode (bench

mode).
