2. Switch operation
Pulling the trigger turns the switch on. Releasing the
trigger turns the switch off.
3. Base holder adjustment (Fig. 3)
Loosen the 6 mm bolt with the supplied 10 mm box
wrench. Adjust the base holder until its bottom surface
contacts the bench or the floor surface.
After adjustment, firmly tighten the 6 mm bolt.
4. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory) (Fig. 9)
(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left
fence {Fence (B)} or the right fence {Fence (A)} by
loosening the 6 mm wing bolt (A).
(2) The screw holder can be raised or lowered according
to the height of the workpiece by loosening the 6 mm
wing bolt (B). After the adjustment, firmly tighten the
6 mm wing bolt (B) and fix the screw holder.
(3) Turn the upper knob and securely fix the workpiece
in position.
WARNING
Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece
to the fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust
from the table and cause bodily harm.
CAUTION
Always confirm that the motor head does not contact
the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If
there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 6
mm wing bolt and move the vise assembly to a
position where it will not contact the saw blade.
5. Positioning the table insert (Fig. 1)
Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When
shipping the tool from the factory, the table inserts
are so fixed that the saw blade does not contact them.
The burr of the bottom surface of the workpiece is
remarkably reduced, if the table insert is fixed so that
the gap between the side surface of the table insert
and the saw blade will be minimum. Before using the
tool, eliminate this gap in accordance with the
following procedure.
(1) Right angle cutting
Loosen the three 6 mm machine screws, then secure
the left side table insert and temporarily tighten the 6
mm machine screws of both ends. Then fix a
workpiece (about 200 mm wide) with the vise
assembly and cut it off. After aligning the cutting
surface with the edge of the table insert, securely
tighten the 6 mm machine screws of both ends.
Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 6 mm
center machine screw. Adjust the right hand table
insert in the same way.
(2) Left and right bevel angle cutting
Adjust the table insert in the manner same procedure
for right angle cutting.
CAUTION
After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting,
the table insert will be cut to some extent if it is used
for bevel angle cutting.
When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the
table insert for bevel angle cutting.
6. Confirmation for use of sub fence (Optional accessory)
This power tool is equipped with a sub fence. In the
case of direct angle cutting and right bevel angle
cutting, use the sub fence. Then, you can do Left bevel
angle cutting, Right bevel angle cutting and Direct
angle cutting and realize stable cutting of the material
with a wide back face.

WARNING
In the case of left bevel cutting, turn the sub fence
counterclockwise (Fig. 10). Unless it is turned
counterclockwise, the main body or saw blade may
contact the sub fence, resulting in an injury.
7. Using an ink line
Upon lowering the motor section, the lower guard is
raised and the saw blade appears.
Align the ink line with the saw blade.
CAUTION
Never lift the lower guard while the saw blade is
rotating.
The sub fence will not only make contact and
adversely affect cutting accuracy, this could also result
in damage to the guard.
8. Install the side handle (Fig. 1)
Install the side handle that came enclosed with this
unit.
9. Position adjustment of laser line (Only Model C8FSHE)
Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser
marker. A switch lights up the laser marker (Fig. 11).
Depending upon your cutting choice, the laser line
can be aligned with the left side of the cutting width
(saw blade) or the ink line on the right side.
The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade
at the time of factory shipment. Adjust the positions
of the saw blade and the laser line taking the following
steps to suit the use of your choice.
(1) Light up the laser marker and make a groove of about 5
mm deep on the workpiece that is about 20 mm in height
and 150 mm in width. Hold the grooved workpiece by
vise as it is and do not move it. For grooving work, refer
to "21. Groove cutting procedures".
(2) Then, turn the adjuster and shift the laser line. (If you
turn the adjuster clockwise, the laser line will shift to
the right and if you turn it counterclockwise, the laser
line will shift to the left.) When you work with the ink
line aligned with the left side of the saw blade, align
the laser line with the left end of the groove (Fig. 12).
When you align it with the right side of the saw blade,
align the laser line with the right side of the groove.
(3) After adjusting the position of the laser line, draw a
right-angle ink line on the workpiece and align the
ink line with the laser line. When aligning the ink line,
slide the workpiece little by little and secure it by vise
at a position where the laser line overlaps with the
ink line. Work on the grooving again and check the
position of the laser line. If you wish to change the
laser line's position, make adjustments again
following the steps from (1) to (3).
WARNING
Make sure before plugging the power plug into the
receptacle that the main body and the laser marker
are turned off.
Exercise utmost caution in handling a switch trigger
for the position adjustment of the laser line, as the
power plug is plugged into the receptacle during
operation.
If the switch trigger is pulled inadvertently, the saw
blade can rotate and result in unexpected accidents.
Do not remove the laser marker to be used for other
purposes.
