Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Miter angle
1.
Loosen the fixing screw counterclockwise.
2.
Rotate the turn base until the pointer indicates 0°
on the miter scale.

4. Pointer
3.
Rotate the turn base slightly clockwise and coun-
terclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter notch.
(Leave as it is if the pointer does not indicate 0°.)
4.
Loosen the hex socket bolts securing the guide
fence using the hex wrench.

5.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
6.
Adjust the guide fence until it makes a perpendic-
ular angle with the blade using a triangular rule, try-
square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex socket bolt
on the guide fence.

7.
Make sure that the pointer indicates 0° on the
miter scale. If the pointer does not indicate 0°, loosen
the screw which secures the pointer and adjust the
pointer so that it indicates 0°.

Bevel angle
0° bevel angle
1.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
2.
Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
3.
Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt on the right
side of the saw head two or three revolutions counter-
clockwise to tilt the blade to the right.

4.
Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt clockwise
carefully until the side of the blade makes a perpendic-
ular angle with the top surface of the turn base. Use the
triangular rule, try-square, etc. as a guide. Then tighten
the lever securely.

5.
Make sure that the pointer on the arm indicates 0°
on the bevel scale. If it does not indicate 0°, loosen the
screw which secures the pointer and adjust the pointer
so that it indicates 0°.

45° bevel angle
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°
bevel angle adjustment.
1.
Loosen the lever and tilt the blade to the left fully.
2.
Make sure that the pointer on the arm indicates
45° on the bevel scale. If the pointer does not indicate
45°, turn the left 45° bevel angle adjusting bolt on the
right side of the arm until the pointer indicates 45°.

WARNING:
installed on the tool while adjusting the laser line.
Take extra care not to switch on the tool during
adjustment. Accidental start up of the tool may result
in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:

The movable range of laser line is decided by the range
adjustment screws on both sides. Perform following
procedures to alter the laser line position.
1.
Remove the battery cartridge.
2.
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece and place it
on the turn base. At this time, do not secure the work-
piece with a vise or similar securing device.
3.
Lower the handle and align the cutting line with
the saw blade.
