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 the

knob 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. 48)

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. 49)

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. 50)

2. Bevel angle

1) 0° bevel angle

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and

tighten the knob to secure the carriage. Lower the

handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by

pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the lever at the

rear of the tool. Make sure that the arm is locked.

(Fig. 51)

Turn the hex bolt on the left side of the arm two or

three revolutions counterclockwise. Turn the hex bolt

on the right side of the arm two or three revolutions

counterclockwise to tilt the blade to the left. (Fig. 52)

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 hex bolt on the right side

of the arm clockwise. Turn the hex bolt on the left

side of the arm clockwise as far as it will go. Then

tighten the lever securely. (Fig. 53)

Make sure that the two pointers on the arm point to

each 0° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If they

do not point to 0°, loosen the screws which secure

the pointers and adjust them so that they will point to

0°. (Fig. 54)

2) 45° bevel angle (Fig. 55)

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 left 45° bevel

angle adjusting bolt on the side of the arm holder

until the pointer points to 45°.

To adjust right 45° bevel angle, perform the same

procedure described above.

Adjusting for smooth beveling action (Fig. 56)

The hex lock nut holding together the arm and arm

holder has been factory adjusted to assure smooth bev-

eling action and to guarantee precise cutting. Do not

tamper with it. Should looseness develop at the arm and

arm holder connection, tighten the hex lock nut using a

wrench.

Adjusting the position of laser line (Fig. 57 & 58)

For model LS1214L only

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.

• Never apply a blow or impact to the tool. A blow or

impact causes the incorrect position of laser line, dam-

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

tool.
