guarding of the blade or guard operation which could

result in serious personal injury.

11. Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch

hardened on blades slows saw and increases

potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first

removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and

pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use

gasoline.

12. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when

use the tool.

13. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting the

material that you are going to cut.

14. Only use the saw blades that are marked with a

speed equal or higher than the speed marked on

the tool.

15. (For European countries only)

Always use the blade which conforms to EN847-1.

this instruction manual may cause serious personal

injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the

tool.

Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 7)

CAUTION:

• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the

clamping screw securely.

Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and move

the blade lower limit stopper to the desired depth on the

scale plate. At the desired depth of cut, tighten the

clamping screw firmly.

For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than

one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper

cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous

KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

NOTE:

• Setting the blade lower limit stopper to the desired

depth on the scale plate allows rough depth of cut.

For accurate depth of cut, measure the actual

protrusion of saw blade below the tool base.

Quick stop button for 2 to 3 mm depth of

cut when using guide rail (accessory)

(Fig. 8 & 9)

This tool has the quick stop button for 2 to 3 mm depth of

cut on the gear housing aside the rear handle when using

guide rail. This is used when avoiding splinter on the

workpiece in the cut. Make a pass of the 2 to 3 mm first

cut and then make another pass of usual cut.

To obtain the 2 to 3 mm depth of cut, push in the stop

button toward the saw blade. This is convenient for

avoiding splinter on the workpiece.

To release the depth of cut from this position for free depth

of cut, just pull the button back.

Bevel cutting (Fig. 10)

Tilting to the right (Fig. 11 & 12)

Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow on it points one

of two positions (vertical for 22.5°, horizontal for 45°).

Loosen the clamping screws in front and back. Then, tilt

the tool base until it stops and secure the base with the

clamping screws.

To get 48° bevel angle, move the lever to 48° marking as

far as it will go. Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow

on it points to the horizontal position. Then, tilt the tool

base until it stops and secure the base with the clamping

screws.

Tilting to the left (Fig. 13)

The tool can be tilted to the left 1° bevel angle. To get the

left 1° bevel angle, loosen the clamping screws in front

and back, tilt the tool handle slightly to the right and push

two bevel angle shifting levers at the same time in the

direction of arrow which has a marking -1. And then tilt the

tool handle to the left while pushing these two levers at

the same time. Secure the base with the clamping screws.

NOTE:

• Returning the blade to the right angle makes the

shifting lever return to 0° by itself.

Sighting (Fig. 14)

When using the tool without guide rail (accessory)

For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the

base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B

position with it.

When using the tool with guide rail (accessory)

For both straight cuts and 45° bevel cuts, always align the

A position on the front of the base with your cutting line.

Switch action (Fig. 15)

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that

the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the

“OFF” position when released.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally

pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, push

in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.

Release the switch trigger to stop.

Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 16)

The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the adjusting

dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in

the direction of number 6; lower speed is obtained when it

is turned in the direction of number 1.

Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the

workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed may

differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In

general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces

faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.
