Holders and holder assembly (optional

accessories)

The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on

either side as a convenient means of supporting work-

pieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the figure.

Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the holders and

the holder assembly. (Fig. 40)

When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod

assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder

assemblies and two rods 12. (Fig. 41)

CAUTION:

• Always support long workpieces level with the top sur-

face 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.

CUTTING AS MITER SAW

WARNING:

• When using the tool in the miter saw mode, secure the

top table at the topmost position so that the saw blade

never protrudes from the top surface of the top table.

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 (Fig. 42)

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 (Fig. 43)

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 work-

piece 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.

• (Only for European countries) always set the sub-fence

outside when performing left bevel cuts.

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.

006366

When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cut-

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

5. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 44)

When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks

or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent defor-

mation 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 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).
