Stopper arm

The lower limit position of the blade can be easily

adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the

stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the

figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops

at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.

Adjusting the miter angle

Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the

turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you

have moved the grip to the position where the pointer

points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely

tighten the grip clockwise.

CAUTION:

•When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the

handle fully.

•After changing the miter angle, always secure the

turn base by tightening the grip firmly.

Adjusting the bevel angle

To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of

the tool counterclockwise.

Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the

pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale.

Then tighten the lever clockwise firmly to secure the arm.

To tilt the blade to the right, push the release button at

the rear of the tool while tilting the blade slightly to the left

after loosening the lever. With the release button

depressed, tilt the saw blade to the right.

CAUTION:

•When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the

handle fully.

•After changing the bevel angle, always secure the

arm by tightening the lever clockwise.

•When changing bevel angles, be sure to position

the kerf boards appropriately as explained in the

“Positioning kerf boards” section.

Adjusting the lever position

The lever can be repositioned at every angle 30° when

the lever does not provide full tightening.

Loosen and remove the screw that secures the lever at

the rear of the tool. Remove the lever and install it again

so that it is slightly above the level. Secure the lever with

the screw firmly.

Switch action

CAUTION:

•Before plugging in the tool, always check to see

that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns

to the “OFF” position when released.

•When not using the tool, remove the lock-off button

and store it in a secure place. This prevents unau-

thorized operation.
