more easily.

CAUTION:

•Always secure all moving portions before carrying the

tool.

•Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes only

and not for any cutting operations.

MAINTENANCE CAUTION:

•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to

perform inspection or maintenance.

WARNING:

•Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the

best and safest performance.

This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory, but

rough handling may have affected the alignment. If your tool

is not aligned properly, perform the following:

1. Miter angle

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten the

clamp screw on the turn base to secure the carriage.

Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the

turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter

scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and

counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter

notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)

Loosen the hex bolts securing the guide fence using the

socket wrench.

Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position

by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the

blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular

rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex bolts

on the guide fence in the order from the right side.
