the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at the full
right miter angle position. Secure the slide poles after
pulling the carriage toward the guide fence fully. Lower
the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by
pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily.

being carried loss of control or balance may occur
resulting in personal injury.

cutting operations may cause unexpected
movement of the saw blade resulting in kickback
and serious personal injury.

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten two clamp screws to secure the carriage.
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn
the turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the
miter scale. Then turn the turn base slightly
clockwise and counterclockwise to seat the turn
base in the 0° miter notch. (Leave as it is if the
pointer does not point to 0°.) Loosen the hex bolts
securing the guide fence using the socket wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the
side of the blade with the face of the guide fence
using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then
securely tighten the hex bolts on the guide fence in
order starting from the right side.
