Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

► 1. Vise knob 2. Projection 3. Vise shaft 4. Base
The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of the
base. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw
is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and
out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw remains
secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently
clockwise until the projection reaches its topmost position,
then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or pulled
out while being turned clockwise, the projection may stop at
an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclock-
wise until the screw is released, before turning again gently
clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm (4-3/4").
CAUTION:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is
at the topmost position. Failure to do so may
result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This could cause the workpiece to be thrown,
cause damage to the blade or cause the loss
of control, which can result in PERSONAL
INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories)
CAUTION:
For the tool equipped with the hold-
ers and the holder assemblies as standard acces-
sories, this type of use is not permitted due to the
country regulations.

The holders and the holder assembly can be installed
on either side as a convenient means of supporting
workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the
figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the
top surface of the turn base for accurate cuts
and to prevent dangerous loss of control of the
tool.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from
the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
• Gently press down the handle to perform the
cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if
lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.
• During a slide cut, gently push the carriage
toward the guide fence without stopping. If the
carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a
mark will be left in the workpiece and the preci-
sion of the cut will be impaired.
