Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does not contact the vise assembly
when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 5
mm wing bolt slightly and move the vise assembly to a position where it will not
contact the saw blade.
Also, always confirm that the vise assembly is mounted on the right side fence before
using the saw for compound cutting operations (miter + bevel cutting).

* Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or
decreased cutting efficiency.
* 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.
* Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed
from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on left side of the
base, and can be raised or lowerd according to the
height of the workpiece.
q Insert support of vise assembly into the hole located
on the front of the base.
w Then tighten 5 mm wing bolt as shown in Fig. 21.
NOTE:
The support has two locking grooves into which
the tip of the 5 mm wing bolt is designed to fit, to
lock the vise assembly in the desired position.
(2) The vise assembly can be mounted on eigher the left
side fence or the right side fence, and can be raised or
lowered according to the height of the workpiece.
q Insert support of vise assembly into the hole located
on either the left side fence or the right side fence.
w Then tighten 5 mm wing bolt as shown in Fig. 22.
(1) As shown in Fig. 23 the width of the saw blade is the
width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the
right (viewed from the operator's position) when
length b is desired, or to the left when length a is
desired.
(2) Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push
the handle down carefully until the saw blade
approaches the workpiece.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the
handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn
the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop
completely before raising the handle from the
workpiece to return it to the full retract position.
