Cutting depth adjustment procedure:
(1) Turn the anchor plate on the direction shown in
Fig. 48.
Lower the motor head, and turn the stop knob by
hand. (Where the head of the stop knob contacts
the anchor plate.)
(2) Adjust to the desired cutting depth by setting the
distance between the saw blade and the surface
of the turntable (see ⓑ in Fig. 48).
NOTE
When cutting a single groove at either end of the
workpiece, remove the unneeded portion with a
chisel.
11. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum
sash
Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform
when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This will
cause ineffi cient cutting and possible overload of the
motor.
When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to
protect the workpiece as shown in Fig. 49-a. Set the
wood plate near the cutting section.
When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade
with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve smooth
cutting and a fi ne fi nish.
In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the
wood plate as shown in Fig. 49-b to ensure stability
in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting
section of the workpiece and tighten it using both the
vise assembly and the clamp available in the market.

SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND
DISMOUNTING
WARNING
● To prevent an accident or personal injury, always
turn off the trigger switch and disconnect the
power plug from the receptacle and/or remove
the battery pack before removing or installing a
saw blade.
If cutting work is done in a state where the 8
mm bolt is not suffi ciently tightened, the 8 mm
bolt can get loose, the blade can come off , and
the lower guard can get damaged, resulting in
injuries.
Also, check that the 8 mm bolts are properly
tightened before plugging the power plug into
the receptacle and/or inserting the battery pack.
● If the 8 mm bolts are attached or detached using
tools other than the 13 mm wrench (standard
accessory), excessive or improperly tightening
occurs, resulting in injury.
1. Dismounting the blade (Fig. 50-a, Fig. 50-b, Fig. 50-c
and Fig. 50-d)
(1) Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
(2) Raise the cutting head to the upright position and
slide the cutting head completely toward the rear of
the unit and tighten the slide securing knob.
(3) Raise the lower guard to the uppermost position.
(4) While holding the lower guard, remove the cover plate
screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
(5) Rotate the cover plate to expose the 8 mm bolt.
(6) Place the blade end spanner over the 8 mm bolt.
(7) Locate the spindle lock on the motor.
(8) Press the spindle lock, holding it in fi rmly while turning
the blade clockwise. The spindle lock will then engage
and lock the arbor. Continue to hold the spindle lock,
while turning the spanner clockwise to loosen the
8 mm bolt.
(9) Remove the 8 mm bolt, washer (B) and the blade. Do
not remove the washer (A).
