(2)The screw holder can be raised or lowered according to the height of the workpiece by loosening the 6mm wing bolt (B). After the adjustment, firmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt (B) and fix the screw holder.
(3)Turn the upper knob and securely fix the workpiece in position (Fig. 20).

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
(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 
is desired, or to the left when length
is desired.
(Only Model C10FCH2)
If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the laser line.
(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
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.
4.Miter cutting procedures
(1)Loosen the side handle and push the lever for angle stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 22).

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 scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.
*Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.
CAUTION:
Never remove the side handle; use of the tool without it would be hazardous.
To prevent an accident or personal injury always firmly tighten the miter handle.
5.Bevel cutting procedures
(1)Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left.
(2)Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever.

WARNING:

If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cutoff piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial position.
Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the safety cover to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
6.Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 4 and 5 above. For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table on page 6.
