12. Inspect the rotating stability of the saw blade.
For precise cutting, rotate the saw blade and check
for deflection to confirm that the blade is not
noticeably unstable; otherwise vibrations might occur
and cause an accident.
BEFORE CUTTING
1. Positioning the table insert
Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When
shipping the tool from the factory, the table inserts are
so fixed that the saw blade does not contact them.
The burr of the bottom surface of the workpiece is
remarkably reduced, if the table insert is fixed so that
the gap between the side surface of the table insert
and the saw blade will be minimum. Before using the
tool, eliminate this gap in accordance with the
following procedure.
(1) Right angle cutting
Loosen the three 5 mm machine screws, then secure
the left side table insert and temporarily tighten the
5 mm machine screws of both ends. Then fix a
workpiece (about 7-7/8" (200 mm) wide) with the vise
assembly and cut it off. After aligning the cutting
surface with the edge of the table insert, securely
tighten the 5 mm machine screws of both ends.
Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 5 mm
center machine screw. Adjust the right hand table
insert in the same way. (Fig. 9-a)

(2) Left and right bevel angle cutting
Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in
Fig. 9-b and Fig. 9-c following the same procedure for
right angle cutting.

CAUTION
After adjusting the table insert for right angle
cutting, the table insert will be cut to some extent
if it is used for bevel angle cutting.
When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust
the table insert for bevel angle cutting.
2. Checking the saw blade lower limit position
Check that the saw blade can be lowered 10 mm to
11 mm below the table insert.
When you replace a saw blade with a new one, adjust
the lower limit position so that the saw blade will not
cut the turntable or complete cutting cannot be done.
Furthermore, when changing the position of an 8 mm
depth adjustment bolt that serves as a lower limit
position stopper of the saw blade.
(1) Turn the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt, change the
height where the bolt head and the hinge contacts,
and adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade.
