Switch action (Fig.24)

CAUTION:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the switch trigger actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when

released.

• When not using the tool, remove the lock-off button and

store it in a secure place. This prevents unauthorized

operation.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally

pulled, a lock-off button is provided.

To start the tool, press in the lock-off button and pull the

trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

Lock lever (Fig. 25)

For European countries only

When cutting, push the lock lever to the left to release the

handle from the raised position. When the cut is com-

pleted, release the lock lever after returning the blade to

its fully elevated position. The handle will be automati-

cally locked in the raised position.

Operation

CAUTION:

Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cut-

ting. Too much force may result in overload of the motor

and/or decreased cutting efficiency.

1. Press cutting (Fig. 26)

• Workpieces up to 61 mm high x 122 mm wide can

be cut in the following way.

• Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the

tool and wait until the blade attains full speed

before lowering gently into 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 posi-

tion.

2. Miter cutting Refer to the previously covered “Posi-

tioning for adjusting the miter angle”.

3. Bevel cut (Fig. 27)

• At a left 45° bevel angle, workpieces up to 45 mm

high x 122 mm wide can be cut.

• Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the

bevel angle. Refer to the previously covered “Posi-

tioning for adjusting the bevel angle”. 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 COM-

PLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully

elevated position.

CAUTION:

• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition

whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against

the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while

the blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught

by the blade, causing fragments to be scattered

around which is dangerous. The blade should be

raised ONLY after the blade has come to a com-

plete 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.

4. Compound cutting Compound cutting is the process

in which a bevel angle is made at the same time in

which a miter angle is being cut on a workpiece.

Compound cutting can be performed at angle shown

in the table below.

At the miter angle of left 45° and bevel angle of left

45°, workpieces 45 mm highx85mm wide can be

cut. When performing compound cutting, refer to

“Press cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” expla-

nations.

5. Cutting repetitive lengths (Fig. 28)

When cutting several pieces of stock to the same

length, ranging from 220mm to 365 mm, use of the

set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more effi-

cient operation. Install the set plate on the holder as

shown in Fig.28. Align the cutting line on your work-

piece with either the left or right side of the groove in

the kerf board, and while holding the workpiece from

moving, move the set plate flush against the end of

the workpiece. Then secure the set plate with the

screw. When the set plate is not used, loosen the

screw and turn the set plate out of the way.

NOTE:

Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory)

allows cutting repetitive lengths, ranging from

220 mm to 2,230 mm.

Carrying tool (Fig. 3& 29)

Make sure that the battery cartridge is removed. Secure

the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at 52° miter

angle to the right. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the

lowered position by pushing in the stopper pin. Carry the

tool by the carrying grip as shown in Fig. 29.
