NOTE:

• If the inner flange is removed be sure to install it on the

spindle with its protrusion facing away from the blade. If

the flange is installed incorrectly the flange will rub

against the machine.

WARNING:

• Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always

be sure that the correct ring for the blade’s arbor

hole you intend to use is installed between the

inner and the outer flanges. Use of the incorrect

arbor hole ring may result in the improper mounting of

the blade causing blade movement and severe

vibration resulting in possible loss of control during

operation and in serious personal injury. (Fig. 26)

To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,

making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface

of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the

blade case.

Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the

socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)

securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.

For all countries other than European countries

(Fig. 27)

WARNING:

• The black ring 25 mm in outer diameter and the silver

ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter are factory-installed as

shown in the figure. When using a blade with 25 mm

hole diameter, replace the silver ring with the black

ring. Before mounting the blade onto the spindle,

always be sure that the correct ring for the blade’s

arbor hole you intend to use is installed between

the inner and the outer flanges. Use of the incorrect

arbor hole ring may result in the improper mounting of

the blade causing blade movement and severe

vibration resulting in possible loss of control during

operation and in serious personal injury.

For European countries

CAUTION:

• The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed

between the inner and outer flanges.

Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the

socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt securely

counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock. (Fig. 28)

Return the blade guard and center cover to its original

position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the

center cover. Release the handle from the raised position

by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to make sure

that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure the shaft

lock has released spindle before making cut.

Dust bag (accessory) (Fig. 29)

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations cleaner

and dust collection easier. To attach the dust bag, fit it

onto the dust nozzle.

When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag

from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag

of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles

adhering to the insides which might hamper further

collection.

NOTE:

If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner

operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:

• It is extremely important to always secure the

workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise or

crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so may result

in serious personal injury and cause damage to the tool

and/or the workpiece.

• After a cutting operation do not raise the blade

until it has come to a complete stop. The raising of a

coasting blade may result in serious personal injury

and damage to the 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. (Fig. 30)

Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES which are

upper and lower fences) adjustment

(Fig. 31)

WARNING:

• Before operating the tool, make sure that the sliding

fence is secured firmly.

• Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the

tool, especially the blade, contacts the upper and

lower fences when fully lowering and raising the

handle in any position and while moving the

carriage through its full range of travel. If the tool or

blade makes contact with the fence this may result in

kickback or unexpected movement of the material and

serious personal injury. (Fig. 32)

CAUTION:

• When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding fence to

the left and secure it as shown in the figure. Otherwise,

it will contact the blade or a part of the tool, causing

possible serious injury to the operator.

This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should

ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.

However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the left

position as shown in the figure if the tool head contacts it.

When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don’t forget

to return the sliding fence to the original position and

secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.

Sub-fence R

WARNING:

• Before operating the tool, make sure that the sub-fence

R is secured firmly.

• Before performing right bevel cuts, remove the sub-

fence R. It will contact the blade or a part of the tool,
