Operation
PRE-OPERATION:
ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE:
1. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 7):
WARNING: IF THE WING-NUT IS LOOSE, INJURY CAN
RESULT. TIGHTEN IT SECURELY AFTER
ADJUSTMENT.
To adjust cutting depth, loosen the wing-nut and while
holding the base with one hand, move the main body up and
down to obtain the prescribed cutting depth. After adjusting
to the prescribed cutting depth, tighten the wing-nut securely.
2. Adjusting the angle of inclination:
WARNING: IF THE WING-NUT IS LOOSE, INJURY CAN
RESULT. TIGHTEN IT SECURELY AFTER
ADJUSTMENT.
As shown in Fig. 8 by loosening the wing-nut on the inclined
gauge, the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of
45° in relation to the base. Always insure that the wing-nut is
thoroughly tightened after making the desired adjustment.
NOTE: Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base merely
serve as a rough guideline. For cutting operation at an
inclined posture, use the circular saw after adjusting the
angle between the base and the saw blade with a
protractor, etc.
3. Adjusting the guide piece:
On the circular saw, it is possible to make fine adjustment of
the fixing position of the guide piece, where the saw blade and
the pre-marked line are to be aligned. When the saw is shipped
from the factory, the linear portion of a front scale on the guide
piece is aligned with the central position of the saw blade.
(Fig. 9) Loosen the fixed screw on the guide piece, should the
fixing position be wrong, and make necessary adjustment of
the position. (Fig. 10)
NOTE: For cutting operation at the inclination of 45 degrees,
make adjustment so that the notch on the guide piece and
the pre-marked line become aligned.
4. Regulating the guide (Fig. 11):
The cutting position can be regulated by moving the guide to
the left or right after loosening its wing-bolt. The guide may be
mounted on either the right or left side of the tool.
