WARNING:
Make sure the saw blade is not
contacting 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:
After a cutting operation, do not
raise the saw blade until it has come to a complete
stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in seri-
ous personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not perform any adjustment
such as turning grip, knob, and levers on the tool
while the saw blade is rotating. Adjustment while the
blade is rotating may result in serious 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.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stop-
per pin and release the handle from the lowered
position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may 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.
Press cutting
WARNING:
Always lock the sliding movement
of the carriage when performing a press cutting.
Cutting without lock may cause possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
Workpieces up to 68 mm high and 160 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
► Fig.48: 1. Stopper pin
1.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence until it
stops and lock it with the stopper pin.
2.
Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3.
Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed before lowering.
4.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
5.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop before returning the circular saw blade to its
fully elevated position.
Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
WARNING:
first pull the carriage full towards you and press
the handle all the way down, then push the car-
riage toward the guide fence. Never start the cut
with the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If
you perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you, unexpected kickback may occur and
serious personal injury may result.
WARNING:
cut by pulling the carriage towards you. Pulling
the carriage towards you while cutting may cause
unexpected kickback resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
the handle locked in the lowered position.
► Fig.49: 1. Stopper pin
1.
Unlock the stopper pin so that the carriage can
slide freely.
2.
Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3.
Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4.
Switch on the tool without the saw blade making
any contact and wait until the saw blade attains full
speed.
5.
Press the handle down and push the carriage
toward the guide fence and through the workpiece.
6.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the saw blade has come to a complete
stop before returning the blade to its fully elevated
position.
Miter cutting
Refer to the section for adjusting the miter angle.
Bevel cut
WARNING:
cut, ensure that the carriage and saw blade will
have free travel throughout the entire range of the
intended cut before operating the tool. Interruption
of the carriage or blade travel during the cutting oper-
ation may result in kickback and serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
hands out of the path of the saw blade. The angle
of the blade may confuse the operator as to the actual
blade path while cutting and contact with the blade
will result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
raised until it has come to a complete stop. During
a bevel cut, the piece cut off may come to rest against
the saw blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating,
the cut-off piece may be ejected by the blade causing
the material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
