Therefore, the vise assembly can be attached in either of three positions to ensure proper height adjustment.

After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt; then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely attach the workpiece in position.

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 8mm knob bolt slightly and move the vise assembly to a position where it will not contact the saw blade.

In case of compound cutting of left bevel angle and left miter angle, a workpiece of up to 56mm (2-7/32") can be fixed with a vise assembly mounted on the left side. In case the workpiece height exceeds 56mm (2-7/32"), mount the vise assembly on the opposite side of the inclination of the motor head. For other compound cutting (left bevel + right miter, right bevel + left miter and right bevel + right miter), mount the vise assembly on the opposite side of the inclination of the motor head to avoid the contact of the vise assembly with the motor head.

Fig. 26

(1)As shown in Fig. 26 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)After turning on the switch and checking that the saw blade is rotating at maximum speed, slowly push down the handle while holding down the lever (A) and bring the saw blade in the vicinity of the material to be cut.

(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.

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.

*Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.

If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
