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 connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
3. Extension 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.

Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower
surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a work-
bench when cutting. If a square block is utilized as a
workbench, select level ground to ensure it is properly
stabilized. An unstable workbench will result in haz-
ardous operation.
CAUTION
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the
portion of lumber remaining after cutting is securely
anchored or held in position.
As shown in Fig. 2 cutting depth adjustment can be
accomplished by loosening clamp lever and shifting
the base. When the base and saw blade are at a
perpendicular angle, use the link scale to adjust the
cutting depth.
Measure the distance that the saw blade extends to
adjust the cutting depth to the correct distance be-
cause the scale marks are only indicated for reference.
After the adjustment is over, securely tighten the
clamp lever.
lever. Lift the base until the depth of cut on the main
unit reaches the minimum state, fasten the clamp
lever, and secure the base. (Fig. 2)
attached bolts. (Fig. 3)
Loosen the hexagon head bolts used to clamp the
riving knife, adjust the riving knife to the position
shown in Fig. 4 and securely retighten the bolts. After
adjustment, ensure that the riving knife moves by
following the adjusted cutting depth.
As shown in Fig. 5 by loosening the wing bolt on the
scale and the wing bolt (Fig. 2) on the rear of the base,
the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of
45° in relation to the base. Always ensure that the wing
bolts are securely tightened after making the desired
adjustment.
