When you find it difficult to inspect the blade
tip, or in case of inclined cutting, or when you
use the guide for cutting, loosen the screw,
move the slide cover upward and make
necessary adjustment before use. (For inclined
cutting, fix the slide cover in the uppermost
position.) Make sure that the screw is tightened
securely after adjustment.
2. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 12)
WARNING:
If the clamp lever is loose, injury can result.
Tighten it securiely after adjustment.
To adjust cutting depth, loosen the clamp lever
and, while holding the base with one hand,
move the main body up and down to obtain the
prescribed cutting depth. After adjusting to the
prescribed cutting depth, tighten the clamp
lever securely.
3. Adjusting the angle of inclination
WARNING:
If the wing bolt is loose, injury can result.
Tighten it securiely after adjustment.
NOTE: Keep the slide cover moved up to the uppermost position before making adjustment
on the angle of inclination. (Refer to [adjustment of slide cover] in Page 13)
As shown in Fig. 13 by loosening the wing-bolt on the inclined gauge, the saw blade may
be inclined to a maximum angle of 45° in relation to the base. Always ensure that the
wing-bolt is thoroughly tightened after making the desired adjustment.
4. Regulating the guide (Rip fence)
.......................................... Optional Accessory
NOTE: When mounting the guide, move the slide
cover upward to the extent where the guide
is not in touch with the slide cover. (Refer to
[adjustment of slide cover] in Page 13)
The cutting position can be regulated by moving
the guide to the left or right after loosening its
wing-bolt. The guide may be mounted on either
the right or left side of the tool. (See Fig. 14)
