Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, sup-
port the entire length of the material beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on
the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-
piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

Vertical vise
WARNING:
Secure the workpiece firmly
against the turn base and guide fence with the
vise during all operations. Otherwise the material
may move during the cutting operation, cause dam-
age to the blade, and be thrown which may result in
loss of control and serious personal injury.
Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of
the guide fence or the holder assembly. Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assem-
bly and tighten the lower screw to secure the vise rod.

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the upper screw. If the upper screw contacts
the guide fence, install the upper screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING:
Grip the workpiece only when the
indicator is at the topmost position. Failure to do
so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This may cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause
damage to the blade or cause the loss of control,
which may result in personal injury.

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 clock-
wise until the indicator reaches its topmost position,
then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or
pulled out while being turned clockwise, the indicator
may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob
back counterclockwise until the screw is released, and
then turn it again gently clockwise.
The maximum capacity of the horizontal vise is 120 mm width.
Holders and holder assembly
Optional accessory
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.
WARNING:
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 helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
The holders and the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory) can be installed on either side as a convenient
means of supporting workpieces horizontally.
Install them on the side of the tool, then tighten the
screws firmly to secure them.

When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

OPERATION
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 personal injury.
WARNING:
raise the blade until it has come to a complete
stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in
serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
WARNING:
which secure the slide poles while the saw blade
is rotating. Otherwise the tool may lose control and
result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not release the saw head
uncontrolled from the fully down position.
Uncontrolled saw head may hit you and it will result in
personal injury.
