BEFORE CUTTING

1.Cutting a groove on the guard

Holder (A) has a guard (see Fig. 8) into which a groove must be cut.

Loosen the 6 mm knob bolt to retract the guard slightly. After placing a suitable wooden piece to sit on the fence and the table surfaces, fix it with the vise assembly.

After the switch has been turned on and the saw blade has reached maximum speed, slowly lower the handle to cut a groove on the guard.

Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When shipping the tool from the factory, the table inserts are so fixed that the saw blade does not contact them. The burr of the bottom surface of the workpiece is remarkably reduced, if the table insert is fixed so that the gap between the side surface of the table insert and the saw blade will be minimum. Before using the tool, eliminate this gap in accordance with the following procedure.

(1)Right angle cutting

Loosen the three 5 mm machine screws, then secure the left side table insert and temporarily tighten the 5

mmmachine screws of both ends. Then fix a workpiece (about 200 mm wide) with the vise assembly and cut it off. After aligning the cutting surface with the edge of the table insert, securely tighten the 5 mm machine screws of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 5 mm center machine screw. Adjust the right hand table insert in the same way.

(2)Left and right bevel angle cutting

Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in Fig. 9-

band Fig. 9-cfollowing the same procedure for right angle cutting.

CAUTION

After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting, the table insert will be cut to some extent if it is used for bevel angle cutting.

When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the table insert for bevel angle cutting.

Check that the saw blade can be lowered 9 mm to 11

mmbelow the table insert as shown in Fig. 10-a. When you replace a saw blade with a new one, adjust the lower limit position so that the saw blade will not cut the turntable or complete cutting cannot be done. To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade, follow the procedure (1) indicated below. (Fig. 10-b) Furthermore, when changing the position of a 8 mm depth adjustment bolt that serves as a lower limit position stopper of the saw blade.
