NOTE
Turning knob (A) clockwise, allows fine adjustment
of the main unit to the left (as seen from front).
Turning knob (A) counterclockwise, allows fine
adjustment of the main unit to the right (as seen from
front).
If you tilt the main unit in the direction that does not
place a load on plate (A) and pull plate (A), the contact
position changes and the right slope angle becomes
3°.
If you tilt the main unit in the direction that does not
place a load on plate (B) and pull plate (B), the contact
position changes and the right slope angle becomes
48°.
(3) After adjusting to the desired angle, tighten the clamp
lever and clamp the motor head.
CAUTION
Always check that the clamp lever is secured and the
motor head is clamped. If you attempt angle cutting
without clamping the motor head, then the motor
head might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.
13. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the
instructions in 10 and 11 above. For maximum
dimensions for compound cutting, refer to
"SPECIFICATIONS" table.
CAUTION
Always secure the workpiece with the right hand side
for compound cutting. Never rotate the table to the
right for compound cutting, because the saw blade
might then contact the clamp or vise that secures the
workpiece, and cause personal injury or damage.
14. Cutting long materials
When cutting long materials, use an auxiliary platform
which is the same height as the holder (optional
accessory) and base of the special auxiliary
equipment.
Capacity: wooden material (W × H × L)
200 mm × 50 mm × 1400 mm
15. Installing the holders (Optional accessory)
The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and
in place during the cutting operation.
(1) As indicated in Fig. 25, use a steel square for aligning
the upper edge of the holders with the base surface.
Loosen the 6 mm wing nut. Turn a height adjustment
bolt 6 mm, and adjust the height of the holder.
(2) After adjustment, firmly tighten the wing nut and
fasten the holder with the 6 mm knob bolt (optional
accessory). If the length of Height Adjustment Bolt 6
mm is insufficient, spread a thin plate beneath. Make
sure the end of Height Adjustment Bolt 6 mm does
not protrude from the holder.
16. Stopper for precision cutting (Stopper and holder are
optional accessory)
The stopper facilitates continuous precision cutting
in lengths of 280 mm to 450 mm.
To install the stopper, attach it to the holder with the
6 mm wing bolt as shown in Fig. 26.
17. Confirmation for use Crown molding vise, Crown
molding Stopper (L) and (R) (Optional accessory)
(1) Crown molding Stopper (L) and (R) (optional
accessories) allow easier cuts of crown molding
without tilting the saw blade. lnstall them in the base
both-sides side to be shown in Fig. 27. After inserting
tighten the 6 mm knob bolts to secure the Crown
molding Stoppers.
(2) The crown molding vise (B) (Optional accessory) can
be mounted on either the left fence (Fence (B)) or the
right fence (Fence (A)). lt can unite with the slope of
the crown molding and vice can be pressed down.
Then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely
attach the crown molding in position. To raise or lower
the vise assembly, first loosen the 6 mm wing bolt.
After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6 mm
wing bolt; then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to
securely attach the crown molding in position (See
Fig 28).
Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT
EDGE against the guide fence and its CEILING
CONTACT EDGE against the Crown molding Stoppers
as shown in Fig. 28. Adjust the Crown molding
Stoppers according to the size of the crown molding.
Tighten the 6 mm wing bolt to secure the Crown
molding Stoppers.
WARNING
Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the crown
molding to the fence; otherwise the crown molding
might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.
Do not bevel cutting. The main body or saw blade
may contact the sub fence, resulting in an injury.
CAUTION
Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does
not contact the crown molding vise assembly when it
is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it
may do so, loosen the 6 mm knob bolt and move the
crown molding vise assembly to a position where it
will not contact the saw blade.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING SAW BLADE
WARNING
To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off
the trigger switch and disconnect the power plug from
the receptacle before removing or installing a blade.
If cutting work is done in a state where the bolt is not
sufficiently tightened, the bolt can get loose, the blade
can come off, and the lower guard can get damaged,
resulting in injuries.
Also, check that the bolts are properly tightened before
plugging the power plug into the receptacle.
If the bolts are attached or detached using tools other
than the 17 mm box wrench (standard accessory),
excessive or improperly tightening occurs, resulting
in injury.
1. Mounting the saw blade (Fig. 29, Fig. 30, Fig. 31 and
Fig. 32)
(1) Rotate the lower guard (plastic) to the top position.
(2) Use the driver to loosen the 5 mm screw fastening
the spindle cover and then remove the spindle cover.
(3) Press in spindle lock and loosen bolt with 17 mm box
wrench (standard accessory).
Since the bolt is left-hand threaded, loosen by turning
it to the right as show in Fig. 31.
NOTE
If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock
the spindle, turn the bolt with 17 mm box wrench
(standard accessory) while applying pressure on the
spindle lock.
The saw blade spindle is locked when the spindle lock
is pressed inward.
(4) Remove the bolt and washer (D).
(5) Lift the lower guard and mount the saw blade.
