causing possible serious injury to the operator.

(Fig. 33)

The sub-fence R can be removed from the right side of

the guide fence. To remove the sub-fence R, loosen the

screw which secures the sub-fence R and pull it out.

Follow the removal procedure in reverse to install it.

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

to return the sub-fence R to the original position and

secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.

Vertical vise (Fig. 34)

The vertical vise can be installed on either the left or right

side of the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in

the guide fence and tighten the screw on the back of the

guide fence to secure the vise rod.

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and

shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by

tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm

contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite

side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool

contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and

pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part

contacts the vise, re-position the vise.

Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the

turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting

position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.

WARNING:

• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the

turn base and guide fence with the vise during all

operations. If the workpiece is not properly secured

against the fence the material may move during the

cutting operation causing possible damage to the

blade, causing the material to be thrown and loss of

control resulting in serious personal injury.

Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

(Fig. 35)

The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on

either the left or right side of the base. When performing

10° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the

side opposite the direction in which the turn base is to be

turned. (Fig. 36)

By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is

released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the

workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate

contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut clockwise.

Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the

workpiece.

The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured

by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.

When installing the horizontal vise on the right side of the

base, also use the sub-fence R to secure the workpiece

more firmly. Refer to the “Sub-fence R” section described

on previously for installing the sub-fence R.

WARNING:

• Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until the

workpiece is properly secured. If the workpiece is

not properly secured the material may move during the

cutting operation causing possible damage to the

blade, causing the material to be thrown and loss of

control resulting in serious personal injury.

• When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base boards,

against the fence, always use the horizontal vise.

Holders (Fig. 37)

The holders can be installed on either side as a

convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally. Slip

fully the holder rods into the holes in the base. Then

tighten the holders securely with the screws.

WARNING:

• Always support a long workpiece so it is level with

the top surface of the turn base for an accurate cut

and to prevent dangerous loss of tool control.

Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade pinch

and possible kickback which may result in serious

personal injury.

OPERATION

NOTICE:

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

lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.

• 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.

• During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the

guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement

is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the

workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

WARNING:

• Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.

Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the

workpiece may result in kickback and serious personal

injury.

1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces) (Fig. 38)

Workpieces up to 91 mm high and 70 mm wide can be

cut in the following manner.

Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and

tighten the locking screw clockwise to secure the

carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with the

proper type of vise. 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.

WARNING:

• Firmly tighten the knob clockwise so that the

carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient

tightening of the knob may cause possible kickback

which may result in serious personal injury.
