2. Using the vise assembly (Standard accessory)

(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on left side of the

base, and can be raised or lowerd according to the

height of the workpiece.

q Insert support of vise assembly into the hole located

on the front of the base.

w Then tighten 5 mm wing bolt as shown in Fig. 21.

NOTE: The support has two locking grooves into which

the tip of the 5 mm wing bolt is designed to fit, to

lock the vise assembly in the desired position.

(2) The vise assembly can be mounted on eigher the left

side fence or the right side fence, and can be raised or

lowered according to the height of the workpiece.

q Insert support of vise assembly into the hole located

on either the left side fence or the right side fence.

w Then tighten 5 mm wing bolt as shown in Fig. 22.

CAUTION: Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does not contact the vise assembly

when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 5

mm wing bolt slightly and move the vise assembly to a position where it will not

contact the saw blade.

Also, always confirm that the vise assembly is mounted on the right side fence before

using the saw for compound cutting operations (miter + bevel cutting).

3. Cutting Operation

(1) As shown in Fig. 23 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 b is desired, or to the left when length a is

desired.

(2) Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push

the handle down carefully until the saw blade

approaches the workpiece.

(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the

handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.

(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn

the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop

completely before raising the handle from the

workpiece to return it to the full retract position.

CAUTION: * Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.

On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or

decreased cutting efficiency.

* If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may

vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the

workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut. Accordingly, press the handle down

gently and carefully.

WARNING: * Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed

from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.

4. Miter cutting procedures

(1) Loosen the miter handle and pull the spring plate.

(2) Adjust the table until the indicator aligns with the

desired setting on the miter angle scale as shown in

Fig. 24-a.

(3) Re-tighten the miter handle to secure the table in the

desired position.

To accurate the lock of the table, the tip of miter handle has

a resin busing.

Always confirm its accurate lock of the table before the tool

operation.

The resin bushing is expendable (Code No. 318819).

If the resin bushing become excessively worn, the table

isn’t accurate locked.

Therefore, inspect the resin bushing condition once a month

and replace it when it has become worn to the wear limit

line as shown in Fig. 24-b.

CAUTION: Never remove the miter handle; use of the tool without it would be hazardous.

To prevent an accident or personal injury always firmly tighten the miter handle.

NOTE: * Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°

and 60° right and 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° left settings.

Check that the miter angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.

* Operation of the power tool with the miter angle scale and indicator out of alignment, or with

the miter handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.

5. Bevel cutting procedures

(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the

left.

(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while

watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then

secure the clamp lever (Fig. 25).

WARNING: When the workpiece is secured on the left side of the blade, the short cut-off portion

will come to rest on the right side of the saw blade. Always turn the power off and let

the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.

If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may

become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about

dangerously.

6. Compound cutting procedures

For compound cutting, follow the instructions in paragraphs 4 and 5 above. At a bevel angle of 45° and

a miter angle of 45°, a workpiece of 1-3/4" (44 mm) in height and up to 3-1/2" (89 mm) in width can be

cut.

CAUTION: Always secure the workpiece with the right hand side for compound cutting. Never

rotate the table to the right for compound cutting, because the saw blade might

then contact the clamp or vise that secures the workpiece, and cause personal injury

or damage.

7. Crown molding cutting procedures

Fig. 26 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (θ) 38° and 45°.

For the typical crown molding fittings, see Fig. 27.

Fig. 26 Fig. 27

The table below shows the miter angle and the bevel angle settings that are ideal for the two crown

molding types.

NOTE: For convenience, positive stops are provided for the miter setting (left and right 31.6°) positions.

For miter cut setting

If the table has been set to either of the angles described, move the table adjusting miter handle a little

to the right and left to stabilize the position and to properly align the miter angle scale and the tip of the

indicator before the operation starts.

For bevel cut setting

Move handle on bevel section to the right and left and check that the position is stable and that the

bevel angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned. Then tighten the clamp lever.

8. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash

Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when

tightened too much in a vise assembly. This will cause inefficient

cutting and possible overload of the motor.

When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the

workpiece as shown in Fig. 32.

When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting

oil (non-combustible) to achieve smooth cutting and a fine finish.

9. How to use the dust bag (Standard accessory)

(1) When the dust bag has become full of sawdust, dust will be

blown out of the dust bag when the saw blade rotates.

Check the dust bag periodically and empty it before it becomes

full.

(2) During bevel and compound cutting, attach the dust bag at a

right angle to the base surface as shown in Fig. 33.

CAUTION: Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the

duct and the blade guard (metal) from becoming

clogged.

Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than

normal during bevel cutting.
