OPERATION

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)
002247
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on either side as a con-
venient 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 acces-
002246
sory). 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.

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.
