► 1. Dust nozzle 2. Dust bag 3. Fastener
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it
onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise.
Failure to do so can cause the tool to be dam-
aged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed.
PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also,
after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the
blade until the blade has come to a complete
stop.
CAUTION:
• When cutting long workpieces, use supports
that are as high as the top surface level of the
turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise
and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

Horizontal vise

► 1. Projection 2. Vise knob
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 oppo-
site the direction in which the turn base is to be turned.
By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw
is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in
and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise
knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its
topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob
is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise,
the projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn
the vise knob back counterclockwise until the screw is
released, before turning again gently clockwise.
CAUTION:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is
at the topmost position. Failure to do so may
result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This could cause the workpiece to be thrown,
cause damage to the blade or cause the loss
of control, which can result in PERSONAL
INJURY.
