Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the
screw which secures the pointer and adjust the pointer
so that it will point to 0°.
2. Bevel angle
(1) 0° bevel angle (Fig. 51)
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten the locking screw to secure the carriage.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the
lever at the rear of the tool. (Fig. 52)
Turn the hex bolt on the right side of the arm two
or three revolutions counterclockwise to tilt the
blade to the right. (Fig. 53)
Carefully square the side of the blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule,
try-square, etc. by turning the hex bolt on the right
side of the arm clockwise. Then tighten the lever
securely. (Fig. 54)
Make sure that the pointer on the arm point to 0°
on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If they do not
point to 0°, loosen the screw which secure the
pointer and adjust it so that it will point to 0°.
(2) 45° bevel angle (Fig. 55)
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°
bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel
angle, loosen the lever and tilt the blade to the left
fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm points
to 45° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If the
pointer does not point to 45°, turn the 45° bevel
angle adjusting bolt on the right side of the arm
holder until the pointer points to 45°.
To adjust the right 5° bevel angle, perform the
same procedure as that described above.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 56)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to 3 mm in length. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 57)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.

Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN61029:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN61029:
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
