WARNING
Always fi rmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence; otherwise the
workpiece might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.
CAUTION
Always confi rm that the motor head (see Fig. 1 on page 56) does not contact the
vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do
so, loosen the 6 mm wing bolt (B) and move the vise assembly to a position where
it will not contact the saw blade.
3. Cutting operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 28 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
to the left when length
desired.
If a laser marker is used, align
the laser line with the left side
of the saw blade, and then align
the ink line with the laser line.
(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.
CAUTION
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 effi ciency.
WARNING
Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been
○
removed from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising
○
the handle from the workpiece. If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still
rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing
fragments to scatter about dangerously.
Every time one cutting of deep-cutting operation is fi nished, turn the switch off ,
○
and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to
the full retract position.
