CAUTION:
•
When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding
fence to the left and secure it as shown in the
figure. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part
of the tool, causing possible serious injury to the
operator.
This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the left
position as shown in the figure if the tool head contacts it.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't forget
to return the sliding fence to the original position and
secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.
Sub-fence R
WARNING:
• Before operating the tool, make sure that the
sub-fence R is secured firmly.
•
Before performing right bevel cuts, remove the
sub-fence R. It will contact the blade or a part of
the tool, causing possible serious injury to the
operator.
Fig.32
The sub-fence R can be removed from the right side of
the guide fence. To remove the sub-fence R, loosen the
screw which secures the sub-fence R and pull it out.
Follow the removal procedure in reverse to install it.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't forget
to return the sub-fence R to the original position and
secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.
Vertical vise
Fig.33
The vertical vise can be installed on either the left or right
side of the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence and tighten the screw on the back of the
guide fence to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the
opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the
tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
WARNING:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations. If the workpiece is not
properly secured against the fence the material
may move during the cutting operation causing
possible damage to the blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
Fig.34
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
10° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the
side opposite the direction in which the turn base is to be
turned.
Fig.35
By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is
released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the
workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate
contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut clockwise.
Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the
workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.
When installing the horizontal vise on the right side of the
base, also use the sub-fence R to secure the workpiece
more firmly. Refer to the "Sub-fence R" section described
on previously for installing the sub-fence R.
WARNING:
•
Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until the
workpiece is properly secured.
If the workpiece
is not properly secured the material may move
during the cutting operation causing possible
damage to the blade, causing the material to be
thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
•
When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base
boards, against the fence, always use the
horizontal vise.
Holders
Fig.36
The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip fully the holder rods into the holes in the base. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.
WARNING:
• Always support a long workpiece so it is level
with the top surface of the turn base for an
accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of
tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
