If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise

arm. 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 clamp screw of the vise.

CAUTION:

When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are

as high as the top surface level of the turn base.

(Fig. 24)

2. Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

(Fig. 25 & 26)

The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left

or right side of the base. When performing 15° or

greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the

side opposite the direction in which the turn table is

to be turned. By turning the knob on the vise coun-

terclockwise, the screw is released and the vise

shaft can be moved rapidly in and out. By turning the

knob clockwise, the screw remains secured. To grip

workpieces, turn the knob gently clockwise until the

projection reaches its topmost position, then fasten

securely. If the knob is forced in or pulled out while

being turned clockwise, the projection may stop at

an angle. In this case, turn the knob back counter-

clockwise until the screw is released, before turning

again gently clockwise.

3. Holders and holder assembly (optional accesso-

ries)

The holders and the holder assembly can be

installed on either side as a convenient means of

supporting workpieces horizontally. Install them as

shown in Fig.27. Then tighten the screws firmly to

secure the holders and the holder assembly.

(Fig. 27)

When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod

assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two

holder assemblies and two rods 12. (Fig.28)

CAUTION:

Always support long workpieces level with the top

surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to pre-

vent 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.

• 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.

• 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.

When cutting with this tool, the thickness of the blade is

cut out of the workpiece as well. Therefore, your cutting

line should be on either the left or right side of the groove

in the kerf board. Switch on the tool and wait until the

blade attains full speed before lowering gently into the

cut. When the blade contacts the workpiece, gradually

bear down on the handle to perform the cut. 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. A

thin piece of cut off material could otherwise contact the

coasting blade and be thrown around dangerously.

(Fig. 29)

1. Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered “Positioning for

adjusting the miter angle”.

2. Bevel cut (Fig. 30)

• Left 0° – 45° bevel cuts can be performed.

• Set the sub-fence to the left position as shown in

Fig. 17. Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to

set the bevel angle. Be sure to retighten the lever

firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely.

Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the

tool 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:

• When performing the bevel cut with the workpiece

secured on the left side of the turn base, it will cre-

ate a condition where the piece cut off will come to

rest on the blade. If the blade is raised while the

blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught in

the blade, causing fragments to be scattered

around which is dangerous. The blade should be

gently raised only after the blade has come to a

complete stop.

• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in

parallel with the blade. If a force is applied perpen-

dicularly to the turn base or if the pressure direc-

tion is changed during a cut, the precision of the

cut will be impaired.

• Always set the sub-fence to the left position as

shown in Fig. 17 when performing bevel cuts.

3. Compound cutting

Compound cutting can be performed at angle shown

in the table below.

When performing the compound cutting, refer to

“Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.
