Operation
OPERATION (CONTINUED):
2. Using the vise assembly (Standard accessory):
a. The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left fence {Fence
(B)} or the right fence {Fence (A)} by loosening the 6 mm wing
bolt (A).
b. The screw holder can be raised or lowered according to the height of
the workpiece by loosening the 6 mm wing bolt (B). After the
adjustment, firmly tighten the 6 mm wing bolt (B) and fix the screw
holder.
c. Turn the upper knob and securely fix the workpiece in position
(Fig. 15).
WARNING: ALWAYS FIRMLY CLAMP OR VISE, TO SECURE THE
WORKPIECE TO THE FENCE; OTHERWISE THE
WORKPIECE MIGHT BE THRUST FROM THE TABLE AND
CAUSE BODILY HARM.
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 6 MM WING
BOLT (B) AND MOVE THE VISE ASSEMBLY TO A
POSITION WHERE IT WILL NOT CONTACT THE SAW
BLADE.
3. Cutting Operation:
a. As shown in Fig. 16 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.
b. Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push the handle down
carefully until the saw blade approaches the workpiece.
c. Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down
gradually to cut into the workpiece.
d. 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.
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. WHEN YOU CUT THE WORKPIECE, AVOID ANY
CUTOFF THINNER THAN THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN
THE CUTTING EDGE AND THE SAW BLADE.
OTHERWISE, THE CUTOFF MATERIAL CAN ENTER THE
CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE CUTTING EDGE AND THE
SAW BLADE AND SCATTER AROUND YOU, RESULTING
IN AN INJURY.
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.
