After the switch is on, the saw blade will continue to
operate as long as you pull on the trigger switch, even
if you release the Lock-off button. When the switch is
released, the Lock-off button automatically
disengages to prevent inadvertent motor startup.

WARNING
Never lock the Lock-off button in depressed
position.
Pulling back the switch would then cause the
tool to suddenly start operating, which could
result in injury.
2. Securing workpiece
○ Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)
(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on the base.
(2) Turn the upper knob and securely fix the workpiece in
position (Fig. 23).

WARNING
Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,
you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm
from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this
saw to cut pieces that are too small to be
securely clamped or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,
there is an increased risk of injury from blade
contact, and the workpiece might be thrust from
the table and cause bodily harm.
CAUTION
Always confirm that the motor head (Fig. 3) does
not contact the vise assembly when it is lowered
for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do
so, loosen the Hex. socket set screw and move
the vise assembly to a position where it will not
contact the saw blade.
○ Using the Clamp (Commercially available)
For base molding with height and other materials that
will not allow the use of the vise assembly (standard
accessory), make sure the material is fixed in position
with commercially available clamps. (Fig. 24)
3. Cutting Operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 25 the width of the saw blade is the
width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the
right (viewed from the operator's position) when
length ⓑ is desired, or to the left when length ⓐ is
desired.
Use the LED light, project the shadow of the blade
onto the workpiece, align the left side or right side of
shadow of the blade with the ink line on the
workpiece.
