APPLICATION

Cutting various types of wood.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1.Power source

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product nameplate.

2.Power switch

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a power receptacle while the power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, which could cause a serious accident.

3.Extension cord

When the work area is removed from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.

4.Prepare a wooden workbench (Fig. 1)

Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface of the lumber, place the lumber 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 lumber remaining after cutting is securely anchored or held in position.

ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE

1.Adjusting the cutting depth

As shown in Fig. 2 cutting depth adjustment can be accomplished by loosening clamp lever and shifting the base. When the base and saw blade are at a perpendicular angle, use the link scale to adjust the cutting depth.

Measure the distance that the saw blade extends to adjust the cutting depth to the correct distance because the scale marks are only indicated for reference. After the adjustment is over, securely tighten the clamp lever.

2.Installing riving knife

(1)Place the base facing upward and loosen the clamp lever. Lift the base until the depth of cut on the main unit reaches the minimum state, fasten the clamp lever, and secure the base. (Fig. 2)

(2)Install the riving knife to the arm securely with the 2 attached bolts. (Fig. 3)

3.Adjusting the riving knife

Loosen the hexagon head bolts used to clamp the riving knife, adjust the riving knife to the position shown in Fig. 4 and securely retighten the bolts. After adjustment, ensure that the riving knife moves by following the adjusted cutting depth.

4.Adjusting the angle of inclination

As shown in Fig. 5 by loosening the wing bolt on the scale and the wing bolt (Fig. 2) on the rear of the base, the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of 45° in relation to the base. Always ensure that the wing bolts are securely tightened after making the desired adjustment.

5.Adjusting the guide (Fig. 6)

The cutting position can be adjusted by moving the guide to the left or right after loosening its wing bolt. The guide can be mounted on either the right or left side of the base.

CUTTING PROCEDURES

1.Place the saw body (base) on the lumber and align the premarked line of cut with the saw blade, using the carved line at the front of the base. Align with the premarked line on the right when not inclined, and at the premarked line on the left at 45° inclined. (Fig. 6)

2.Ensure that the switch is turned to the ON position before the saw blade comes in contact with the lumber. The switch is turned ON when the trigger is squeezed; and OFF when the trigger is released.
