ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
APPLICATIONS
Cutting Various types of wood.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle
while the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately
and can cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient
thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
WARNING: Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact
a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a faulty receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
5. Confirming condition of the environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
6. Prepare a wooden workbench (Fig. 9)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the
lower surface of the work piece, place the work
piece on a workbench when cutting. If a square
block is utilized as a workbench, select level
ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An
unstable workbench will result in hazardous
operation.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that
the portion of work piece remaining after
cutting is securely anchored or held in position.
