Groove cutting
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.
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

Before carrying, make sure to unplug and all movable
parts of the miter saw are secured. Always check the
following:
• The tool is unplugged.
• The carriage is at 0° bevel angle position and
secured.
• The carriage is lowered and locked.
• The carriage is fully slid to the guide fence and
locked.
• The turn base is at the full right miter angle posi-
tion and secured.
• The holders are stored and secured.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure.
► Fig.54
WARNING:
Stopper pin for carriage elevation
is for carrying and storage purposes only and not
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 and result in personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
switched off and unplugged before attempting
to perform inspection or maintenance. Failure to
unplug and switch off the tool may result in accidental
start up of the tool which may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
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
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by the stopper pin. Push the carriage toward the guide
fence. Loosen the grip and the screws which secure the
pointer and miter angle scale.
► Fig.55: 1. Screw on pointer 2. Screws on miter
angle scale 3. Miter scale
Set the turn base to the 0° position using the positive
stop function. Square the side of the blade with the face
of the guide fence using a triangular rule or try-square.
While keeping the square, tighten the screws on the
miter angle scale. After that, align the pointers (both
right and left) with the 0° position in the miter angle
scale and then tighten the screw on the pointer.
► Fig.56: 1. Triangular rule
Bevel angle
0° bevel angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and lock the
sliding movement by the stopper pin. Lower the handle
fully and lock it in the lowered position by the stopper
pin and then loosen the knob. Turn the 0° adjusting bolt
two or three revolutions counterclockwise to tilt the saw
blade to the right.
► Fig.57: 1. 0° Adjusting bolt 2. Screw
Carefully square the side of the saw blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule, try-
square, etc. by turning the 0° adjusting bolt clockwise.
Then tighten the knob firmly to secure the 0° angle you
have set.
► Fig.58: 1. Triangular rule 2. Saw blade 3. Top sur-
face of turn base
Check if the side of the saw blade squares with the
turn base surface once again. Loosen the screw on the
pointer. Align the pointer with 0° position in the bevel
angle scale and then tighten the screw.
