English
Please do this if the length of the material being cut
off is more than 25 mm long. Sometimes cutting
cannot be accomplished because the saw blade will
catch on the inside of the lower guard.
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to
the left or to the right. When tilting the motor head to
the right pull the set pin towards the rear.
NOTE
Loosen the clamp lever, tilt the main unit to the left
and then pull the set pin to enable 48-degree cuts.
Loosen the clamp lever and slant to the left a little at
a time while pushing the set pin into the main unit. At
this time, the set pin will enter one step and fit into
the 30° left slant and 33.9° left slant setting slots.
With the set pin in the slot as described above, setting
to the 30° left slant position is possible by pushing to
the right side.
Also, with the set pin in the slot as described above,
setting to the 33.9° left slant position is possible by
pushing to the left side.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while
watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then
secure the clamp lever.
WARNING
When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side
of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest
on the right or left side of the saw blade. Always turn
the power off and let the saw blade stop completely
before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating,
the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw
blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway,
start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the
initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes
the lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of
the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
16. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the
instructions in 13 and 14 above. For maximum
dimensions for compound cutting, refer to
"SPECIFICATIONS" table.
CAUTION
Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand
and cut it by sliding the round portion of the saw
backwards with the left hand.
It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left
during compound cutting because the saw blade may
come into contact with the hand that is securing the
workpiece.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by left
bevel, turn the sub-fence (optional accessory)
counterclockwise, and engage in the cutting operation.
17. Cutting long materials
When cutting long materials, use an auxiliary platform
which is the same height as the holder (optional
accessory) and base of the special auxiliary
equipment.
Capacity: wooden material (W × H × L)
300 mm × 45 mm × 1050 mm, or
180 mm × 25 mm × 1600 mm
18. Installing the holders ... (Optional accessory)
The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and
in place during the cutting operation.
17
(1) As indicated in Fig. 19, use a steel square for aligning
the upper edge of the holders with the base surface.
Loosen the 6 mm wing nut. Turn a height adjustment
bolt 6 mm, and adjust the height of the holder.
(2) After adjustment, firmly tighten the wing nut and
fasten the holder with the 6 mm knob bolt (optional
accessory). If the length of Height Adjustment Bolt 6
mm is insufficient, spread a thin plate beneath. Make
sure the end of Height Adjustment Bolt 6 mm does
not protrude from the holder.
CAUTION
When transporting or carrying the tool, do not grasp
the holder.
There is the danger of the holder slipping out of the
base. Grasp the handle instead of the holder.
19. Stopper for precision cutting ... (Stopper and holder
are optional accessory)
The stopper facilitates continuous precision cutting
in lengths of 280 mm to 450 mm.
To install the stopper, attach it to the holder with the
6 mm knob bolt as shown in Fig. 20.
20. Confirmation for use Crown molding vise, Crown
molding Stopper (L) and (R) (Optional accessory)
(1) Crown molding Stopper (L) and (R) (optional
accessories) allow easier cuts of crown molding
without tilting the saw blade. lnstall them in the base
both-sides side to be shown in Fig. 21. After inserting
tighten the 6 mm knob bolts to secure the Crown
molding Stoppers.
(2) The crown molding vise (B) (Optional accessory) can
be mounted on either the left fence (Fence (B)) or the
right fence (Fence (A)). lt can unite with the slope of
the crown molding and vice can be pressed down.
Then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely
attach the crown molding in position. To raise or lower
the vise assembly, first loosen the 6 mm knob bolt.
After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6 mm wing
bolt; then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely
attach the the crown molding in position (Fig 22).
Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT
EDGE against the guide fence and its CEILING
CONTACT EDGE against the Crown molding Stoppers
as shown in Fig. 22. Adjust the Crown molding
Stoppers according to the size of the crown molding.
Tighten the 6 mm wing bolt to secure the Crown
molding Stoppers.
WARNING
Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the crown
molding to the fence; otherwise the crown molding
might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.
Do not bevel cutting. The main body or saw blade
may contact the sub fence, resulting in an injury.
CAUTION
Always confirm that the motor head (Fig. 1) does not
contact the crown molding vise ass'y when it is
lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may
do so, loosen the 6mm knob bolt and move the crown
molding vise ass'y to a position where it will not
contact the saw blade.
21. Groove cutting procedures
Grooves in the workpiece can be cut by adjusting the
6 mm depth adjustment bolt (Fig. 23).
(1) Lower the motor head, and turn the 6 mm depth
adjustment bolt by hand. (Where the head of the 6
mm depth adjustment bolt contacts the hinge.)
