UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the power tool and all related items
(standard accessories).
Check carefully to make certain all related items
(standard accessories) are present.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while the trigger
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
3. Extention cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept
as short as practicable.
4. When the power tool is prepared for shipping, its
main parts are secured by a locking pin
Move the handle slightly so that the locking pin can
be disengaged.
During transport, lock the locking pin into the gear
case (Fig. 4).
5. Attach the dust bag to the main unit (Fig. 1)
6. Installation
Ensure that the machine is always fixed to bench.
Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench.
Select 8 mm diameter bolts suitable in length for the
thickness of the work bench.
Bolt length should be at least 25 mm plus the thickness
of the work bench.
For example, use 8 mm × 65 mm bolts for a 25 mm
thick work bench.
ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE
CAUTION
Make all necessary adjustments before inserting the
plug in the power source.
1. Check to see that the lower guard operates smoothly
CAUTION
This slide compound miter saw is equipped with a
saw head lock as safety device.
To lower the saw head to cut, the lock must be released
by pressing the lock lever with your thumb.
(1) When you push down the handle while pushing the
lock lever, check that the lower guard revolves
smoothly (Fig. 5).
(2) Next, check that the lower guard returns to the original
position when the handle is raised.
2. Checking the saw blade lower limit position (Fig. 6
and Fig. 7)
Check that the saw blade can be lowered 10 mm to 11
mm below the table insert.
When you replace a saw blade with a new one, adjust
the lower limit position so that the saw blade will not
cut the turntable or complete cutting cannot be done.
To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade,
follow the procedure (1) indicated below. (Fig. 7)
Furthermore, when changing the position of a 8 mm
depth adjustment bolt that serves as a lower limit
position stopper of the saw blade.
(1) Turn the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt, change the
height where the bolt head and the hinge contacts,
and adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade.
NOTE
Confirm that the saw blade is adjusted so that it will
not cut into the turntable.
3. Lower limit position of saw blade when cutting a large
workpiece
NOTE
When cutting a workpiece exceeding 65 mm in height
in right-angle cutting or 60 mm in left bevel angle
cutting or 45 mm in right bevel angle cutting, adjust
the lower limit position so that the base of the motor
head (Fig. 6) will not come in contact with the
workpiece.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, never remove or place a
workpiece on the table while the tool is being operated.
Never place your limbs inside of the line next to
warning sign while the tool is being operated. This
may cause hazardous conditions (see Fig. 8).
CAUTION
It is dangerous to remove or install the workpiece
while the saw blade is turning.
When sawing, clean off the shavings from the
turntable.
If the shavings accumulate too much, the saw blade
from the cutting material will be exposed. Never
subject your hand or anything else to go near the
exposed blade.
1. Tightly secure the material by vise assembly to be
cut so that it does not move during cutting
