(1)

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).

(2)

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

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

mmwing bolt (B) and move the vise assembly to a position where it will not contact the saw blade.

(1)As shown in Fig. 17 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.

(2)Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push the handle down carefully until the saw blade approaches the workpiece.

(3)Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.

(4)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 cut-off 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.
