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. 31-a. Set the
wood plate near the cutting section.
When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve
smooth cutting and a fine finish.
In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 31-b to ensure
stability in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the workpiece and tighten it
using both the vise assembly and the clamp available in the market.

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. 32.
Fig. 32
CAUTION: Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and the safety cover from becoming
clogged.
Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal during bevel cutting.
SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
WARNING: * To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger switch and
disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before removing or installing a saw
blade.
If cutting work is done in a state where the bolt is not sufficiently tightened, the bolt can
get loose, the blade can come off, and the lower guard can get damaged, resulting in
injuries.
Also, check that the bolts are properly tightened before plugging the power plug into
the receptacle.
* If the bolts are attached or detached using tools other than the 10mm box wrench
(standard accessory), excessive or improperly tightening occurs, resulting in injury.
1. Mounting the saw blade (Fig. 33-a, Fig. 33-b, Fig. 33-c and Fig. 33-d)
(1) Rotate the lower guard (plastic) to the top position.
(2) Use the driver to loosen the 4mm screw fastening the spindle cover and then remove the spindle
cover.
(3) Press in spindle lock and loosen bolt with 10mm box wrench (standard accessory).
Since the bolt is left-hand threaded, loosen by turning it to the right as shown in Fig. 33-c.
NOTE: If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock the spindle, turn the bolt with 10mm
box wrench (standard accessory) while applying pressure on the spindle lock.
The saw blade spindle is locked when the spindle lock is pressed inward.
