UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the power tool and all related items
(standard accessories).
Check carefully to make certain all related items
(standard accessories) are present.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is conencted to a receptacle while the trigger
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
3. Extention cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept
as short as practicable.
4. When the power tool is prepared for shipping, its
main parts are secured by a locking pin.
Move the handle slightly so that the locking pin can
be disengaged.
During transport, lock the locking pin into the gear
case (Fig. 4).
5. Attach the dust bag to the main unit (Fig. 1)
6. Installation
Ensure that the machine is always fixed to bench.
Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench.
Select 8 mm diameter bolts suitable in length for the
thickness of the work bench.
Bolt length should be at least 25 mm plus the thickness
of the work bench.
For example, use 8 mm × 65 mm bolts for a 25 mm
thick work bench.

ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE
CAUTION
Make all necessary adjustments before inserting the
plug in the power source.
1. Check to see that the lower guard operates smoothly.
CAUTION
This slide compound miter saw is equipped with a
saw head lock as safety device.
To lower the saw head to cut, the lock must be released
by pressing the lever (A) with your thumb.
(1) When you push down the handle while pushing the
lever (A), check that the lower guard revolves
smoothly (Fig. 5).
(2) Next, check that the lower guard returns to the original
position when the handle is raised.
2. Checking the saw blade lower limit position (Fig. 7)
Check that the saw blade can be lowered 10 mm to 11
mm below the table insert.
If necessary, adjust as follows:
(1) Loosen the 8 mm wing nut.
(2) Insert your 6 mm hexagon bar wrench from behind
of the tool and turn the 8 mm hexagon socket set
screw to the left (counterclockwise) viewed from
behind of the tool.
(3) Turn the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt, change the
height where the bolt head and the gear case contacts,
and adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade.
One turn of the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt changes
the lower limit position of the saw blade by about 8
mm, and this information can be used as a rough
guide.
(4) Turn the 8 mm hexagon socket set screw to the right
(clockwise) as viewed from behind of the tool, and let
it softly contact the tip of the 8 mm depth adjustment
bolt.
CAUTION
Adjust the lower limit position so that the saw blade
will not cut the turntable or complete cutting cannot
be done.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
CAUTION
It is dangerous to remove or install the workpiece
while the saw blade is turning.
When sawing, clean off the shavings from the
turntable.
If the shavings accumulate too much, the saw blade
from the cutting material will be exposed. Never
subject your hand or anything else to go near the
exposed blade.
1. Tightly secure the material by vise assembly to be
cut so that it does not move during cutting.
2. Switch operation
Pulling the trigger turns the switch on. Releasing the
trigger turns the switch off.
3. Base holder adjustment (Fig. 3)
Loosen the 6 mm bolt with the supplied 10 mm box
wrench. Adjust the base holder until its bottom surface
contacts the bench or the floor surface.
4. Cutting a groove on the guard
Holder (A) has a guard (see Fig. 6) into which a groove
must be cut. Loosen the 6 mm knob bolt to retract the
guard slightly.
