is provided as a standard accessory. For mounting
details, refer to [use of dust bag] in Page 6, and

ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE

1. Adjustment of slide cover
CAUTION:
To avoid serious accidents, ensure the switch is
in OFF position, and disconnect the plug from
the receptacle.
You can move the slide cover of the tool up and
down. The slide cover is mounted in the lowermost
position when the tool is shipped from the factory.
If you use it in the originally mounted position for
right-angle cutting, you can reduce the scattering
sawdust particles.
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. 3)
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
NOTE:
Keep the slide cover moved up to the uppermost
position before making adjustment on the angle
of inclination.
As shown in Fig. 4 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.
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.
