For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1. Adjust the lower limit position of the circular saw
blade using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to
limit the cutting depth of the circular saw blade. Refer to
the section for stopper arm.
2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the circu-
lar saw blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of
the workpiece using a slide (push) cut.
► Fig.53: 1. Cut grooves with blade
3.
Remove the workpiece material between the
grooves with a chisel.
Carrying tool
WARNING:
Stopper pin is only for carrying
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.
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.
► Fig.54
1.
Remove the battery cartridge.
2.
Secure the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn
base at the full right miter angle position.
3. 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 forward to the guide fence.
4.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
5. Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool
base. If you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can
carry the tool more easily.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always be sure that the blade is
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.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
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
1. Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten two clamp screws to secure the carriage.
2. Rotate the turn base until the pointer indicates 0°
on the miter scale.
3. Rotate the turn base slightly clockwise and coun-
terclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter notch.
(Leave as it is if the pointer does not indicate 0°.)
4. Loosen the hex socket bolts securing the guide
fence using the hex wrench.

5. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
6.
Adjust the guide fence until it makes a perpendic-
ular angle with the blade 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.

7. Make sure that the pointer indicates 0° on the
miter scale. If the pointer does not indicate 0°, loosen
the screw which secures the pointer and adjust the
pointer so that it indicates 0°.

1. Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten two clamp screws to secure the carriage.
2. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
3.
Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
4. Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt (lower bolt)
on the right side of the arm two or three revolutions
counterclockwise to tilt the blade to the right.
5. Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt clockwise
carefully until the side of the blade makes a perpendic-
ular angle with the top surface of the turn base. Use the
triangular rule, try-square, etc. as a guide. Then tighten
the lever securely.

6. Make sure that the pointer on the arm indicates 0°
on the bevel scale. If it does not indicate 0°, loosen the
screw which secures the pointer and adjust the pointer
so that it indicates 0°.
