There may be case when a complete cutting cannot be done depending on the

height of workpiece. In this case, mount an auxiliary board with the 6mm fl at

head screws and the 6mm nuts using the 7mm holes on the fence surface (two
holes on each side). (Fig. 27)
Refer to page 9 "SPECIFICATIONS" for the thickness of the auxiliary board.
(1) Workpieces up to 3-11/32" (85mm) high and 12-9/32" (312mm) wide:
Loosen the slide securing knob (see Fig. 2), grip the handle and

slide the saw blade forward.
Then press down on the handle and slide the saw blade back to
cut the workpiece as indicated in Fig. 28. This facilitates cutting
of workpieces of up to 3-11/32" (85mm) in height and 12-9/32"

(312mm) in width.

(2) Workpieces up to 3-9/16" (90mm) high and 11" (280mm) wide:
Workpieces of up to 3-35/64" (90mm) in height and up to 11"
(280mm) in width can be cut in the same manner as described in
paragraph 6-(1) above.
* When cutting a workpiece of 3-11/32" (85mm) height, adjust the lower limit position
of the motor head so that the gap between the lower edge of the motor head and
the workpiece will be 3/32" to 1/8" (2 to 3mm) at the lower limit position.
* If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may
vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the
workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.
Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.
* In slide cutting, gently push the handle back (rearwards) in a single, smooth
operation.
Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting marks
on the workpiece.
* For slide cutting, follow the procedures indicated above in Fig. 28.
Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous because the saw
blade could kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle
away from the operator.
* Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation
in order to reduce the risk of injury.
* Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation because the
saw blade comes close to the side handle when the motor head is lowered.
(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left or to the
Clamp Lever
right.
When tilting the motor head to the right pull the fi xing pin towards the
rear.
The clamp lever adopts a latchet system. When contacting the work
bench and the main body, pull the clamp lever in the direction of the
arrow mark as illustrated in Fig. 29, and change the direction of the
clamp lever.
(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel
angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever.
