Therefore, the vise assembly can be attached in either of three positions to ensure
proper height adjustment.
After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt; then turn the upper knob,
as necessary, to securely attach the workpiece in position.
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 8mm knob bolt slightly and move the vise assembly
to a position where it will not contact the saw blade.
In case of compound cutting of left bevel angle and left miter angle, a
workpiece of up to 56mm (2-7/32") can be fixed with a vise assembly
mounted on the left side. In case the workpiece height exceeds 56mm
(2-7/32"), mount the vise assembly on the opposite side of the inclination
of the motor head. For other compound cutting (left bevel + right miter,
right bevel + left miter and right bevel + right miter), mount the vise
assembly on the opposite side of the inclination of the motor head to
avoid the contact of the vise assembly with the motor head.
3. Cutting Operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 26 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) After turning on the switch and checking that
the saw blade is rotating at maximum speed,
slowly push down the handle while holding
down the lever (A) and bring the saw blade in
the vicinity of the material to be cut.
(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.
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.
* 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.
