Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of the
base. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the
screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved
rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the
screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the
vise knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its
topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob is
forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the
projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise
knob back counterclockwise until the screw is released,
before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm (4-3/4").
CAUTION:
Grip the workpiece only when the projection is at
•
the topmost position. Failure to do so may result in
insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage
to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can
result in PERSONAL INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories)

The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on
either side as a convenient means of supporting
workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the
figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

CAUTION:
Always support long workpieces level with the top
•
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
•
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
•
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
•
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If
•
the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a
mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision
of the cut will be impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward
•
the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be
left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
