3.Using the vise assembly (Optional accessory)
(1)The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left side base or the right side base, and can be moved back and forth according to the width of the workpiece.
Insert support of vise assembly into the hole located on either the left side base or the right side of the base as shown in Fig. 20.

(1)As shown in Fig. 21 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.
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.
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.

NOTE: * Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° settings.
Check that the miter angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.
*Operation of the power tool with the miter angle scale and indicator out of alignment, or with the miter handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.
