When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 220 mm to 385 mm, use of the set
plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more efficient
operation. Install the set plate on the holder (optional
accessory) as shown in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece 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 up to
2,200 mm approximately.
Groove cutting
► Fig.47: 1. Cut grooves with blade
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the
adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting
depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm" section
described on previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut
parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using
a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then remove
the workpiece material between the grooves with a
chisel.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform this
type of cut by using a wider type blade or dado
blade. Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider
blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Be sure to return the stopper arm
to the original position when performing other
than groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with
the stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
Carrying tool
► Fig.48: 1. Stopper pin
► Fig.49
Make sure that the battery cartridge is removed. Secure
the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at the full
right miter angle position. Secure the slide poles so
that the lower slide pole is locked in the position of the
carriage fully pulled to operator and the upper poles are
locked in the position of the carriage fully pushed for-
ward to the guide fence. Lower the handle fully and lock
it in the lowered position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base
as shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust
bag, etc., you can carry the tool more easily.
CAUTION:
Always secure all moving portions
before carrying the tool. If portions of the tool move
or slide while being carried loss of control or balance
may occur resulting in personal injury.
WARNING:
and storage purposes and should never be used
for any cutting operations. The use of the stopper
pin for cutting operations may cause unexpected
movement of the saw blade resulting in kickback and
serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
WARNING:
sharp and clean for the best and safest perfor-
mance. Attempting a cut with a dull and /or dirty blade
may cause kickback and result in a serious personal
injury.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Miter angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten
two clamp screws to secure the carriage.
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the
turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and
counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter
notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)
► Fig.50: 1. Guide fence 2. Hex socket bolt
Loosen the hex socket bolts securing the guide fence
using the hex wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the
blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular
rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex
socket bolts on the guide fence in order starting from
the right side.

► Fig.52: 1. Screw 2. Miter scale 3. Pointer
Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the
screw which secures the pointer and adjust the pointer
so that it will point to 0°.
