Dust bag

► 1. Dust bag
► 1. Fastener
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it
onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece properly and tightly with the vise.
Failure to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the
workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO
RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise
the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION:
When cutting long workpieces, use
supports that are as high as the top surface level of the
turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin material
tends to sag. Support workpiece over its entire length
to avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left
or right side of the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape of the
workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the screw. Make
sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the han-
dle all the way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fence with
the vise during all operations.
