PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

WARNING

*To avoid personal injury, never remove or place a workpiece on the table while the tool is being operated.

*Never place your limbs inside of the line next to warning sign while the tool is being operated. This may cause hazardous conditions (see Fig. 26).

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. 29 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.

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.

2. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)

(1)The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left fence {Fence (B)} or the right fence {Fence (A)} by loosening the 6mm wing bolt (A).

(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. 28).

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.

*Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the trigger switch off, and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to the full retract position.

*Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
