10. Trial Run
After confi rming that no one is standing behind, the power tool start and confi rm that no operating abnormalities
exist before attempting a cutting operation.
11. Inspect the rotating stability of the saw blade.
For precise cutting, rotate the saw blade and check for defl ection to confi rm that the blade is not noticeably
unstable; otherwise vibrations might occur and cause an accident.

BEFORE CUTTING

1. Cutting a groove on the guard
Lower Guard
Vise Assembly
Fence (B)
Sub table
Workpiece
CAUTION
Do not cut the groove too quickly; otherwise the guard might become damaged.
Do not use slide cutting for grooving tasks.
2. Positioning the table insert
6mm
Machine
Screw
Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When shipping the tool from the factory, the table inserts are so
fi xed 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 fi xed 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 6mm machine screws, then secure the left side table insert and temporarily tighten
the 6mm machine screws of both ends. Then fi x a workpiece (about 7-7/8" (200mm) wide) with the vise
assembly and cut it off . After aligning the cutting surface with the edge of the table insert, securely tighten
the 6mm machine screws of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 6mm center
machine screw. Adjust the right hand table insert in the same way.
(2) Left bevel angle cutting
Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in Fig. 10-b following the same procedure for right angle
cutting.

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.
Holder (A) has a guard (see Fig. 9) into which a groove must
be cut when using the tool for the fi rst time. Loosen the 6 mm
knob bolt to retract the guard slightly.
After placing a suitable wooden piece to sit on the fence
and the table surfaces, fi x it with the vise. Slide the motor
head backwards to the end. Then tighten the slide securing
knob. After the switch has been turned on and the saw blade
has reached maximum speed, slowly lower the handle to
cut a groove on the guard. (See P. 18 "4. Cutting narrow
workpieces")
