MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the

best and safest performance.

Adjusting the cutting angle

This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,

but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If

your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:

1. Miter angle

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten two

clamp screws to secure the carriage.

Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the

turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter

scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and

counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter

notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)

Loosen the hex bolts securing the guide fence using the

socket wrench. (Fig. 45)

Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position

by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the

blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular

rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex bolts

on the guide fence in the order from the right side.

(Fig. 46)

Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale.

If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which

secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will

point to 0°. (Fig. 47)

2. Bevel angle

1. 0° bevel angle

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and

tighten two clamp screws to secure the carriage.

Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered posi-

tion by pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the lever

at the rear of the tool.

Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt (lower bolt) on

the right side of the arm two or three revolutions

counterclockwise to tilt the blade to the right.

(Fig. 48)

Carefully square the side of the blade with the top

surface of the turn base using the triangular rule, try-

square, etc. by turning the 0° bevel angle adjusting

bolt clockwise. Then tighten the lever securely.

(Fig. 49)

Make sure that the pointer on the arm point to 0° on

the bevel scale on the arm holder. If it does not point

to 0°, loosen the screw which secures the pointer

and adjust the pointer so that it will point to 0°.

(Fig. 50)

2. 45° bevel angle

Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°

bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel

angle, loosen the lever and tilt the blade to the left

fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to

45° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If the

pointer does not point to 45°, turn the 45° bevel

angle adjusting bolt (upper bolt) on the right side of

the arm until the pointer points to 45°. (Fig. 51)

Adjusting the position of laser line (Fig. 52 & 53)

WARNING:

• As the tool is plugged when adjusting the position of

laser line, take a full caution especially at switch action.

Pulling the switch trigger accidentally cause an acci-

dental start of the tool and personal injury.

CAUTION:

• Never look into the laser beam directly. Direct laser

beam causes damage to your eyes.

impact causes the incorrect position of laser line, dam-

age to the laser beam emitting part or a short life of the
