Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
► Fig.36: 1. Vise knob 2. Projection 3. Vise shaft
4. Base
The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of
the base. 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.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm.
WARNING:
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.
Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories)
CAUTION:
For the tool equipped with the hold-
ers and the holder assemblies as standard acces-
sories, this type of use is not permitted due to the
country regulations.
► Fig.37: 1. Holder 2. Holder assembly
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed
on either side as a convenient means of supporting
workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the
figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.
► Fig.38: 1. Holder assembly 2. Rod 12
WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
NOTICE: Before use, be sure to release the handle
from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive pressure on the han-
dle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload
of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push
down handle with only as much force as is necessary
for smooth cutting and without significant decrease in
blade speed.
NOTICE: Gently press down the handle to perform the
cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark
(saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut
will be impaired.
NOTICE: During a slide cut, gently push the carriage
toward the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left
in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be
impaired.
WARNING:
tacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is
turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the
workpiece may result in kickback and serious per-
sonal injury.
Press cutting (cutting small
workpieces)
► Fig.39: 1. Thumb screw 2. Holder assembly
Workpieces up to 52 mm high and 97 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide poles
clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece
with the proper type of vise. Switch on the tool without
the blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed before lowering. Then gently lower the
handle to the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece.
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
position.
WARNING:
screws which secure the slide poles clockwise
so that the carriage will not move during opera-
tion. Insufficient tightening of the locking screw may
cause possible kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
► Fig.40: 1. Thumb screw 2. Holder assembly
Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide poles
counterclockwise so that the carriage can slide freely.
Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise. Pull
the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool without
the blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Press the handle down and PUSH
THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND
THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is com-
pleted, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE
HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning
the blade to its fully elevated position.
