○ Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator
out of alignment will result in poor cutting precision.
8. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the
instructions in 5 to 7 above. For maximum dimensions
for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table
on page 40.
CAUTION
Always secure the workpiece with the right or left
hand and cut it by sliding the round portion of the saw
backwards with the left hand.
It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left
during compound cutting because the saw blade may
come into contact with the hand that is securing the
workpiece.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by left bevel,
extend the sub-fence (B) fully before cutting operation.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by right
bevel, extend the sub-fence (A) fully before cutting
operation.
Please confi rm that sub fence (A) (B) does not interfere
with other parts before attempting compound cutting. If
there is any interference, remove either sub fence (A) or
(B).
9. Groove cutting procedures
Grooves in the workpiece can be cut as indicated in
Fig. 28 by adjusting the stop knob.
Cutting depth adjustment procedure:
(1) Turn the anchor plate on the direction shown in
Fig. 29.
Lower the motor head, and turn the stop knob by
hand. (Where the head of the stop knob contacts the
anchor plate.)
(2) Adjust to the desired cutting depth by setting the
distance between the saw blade and the surface of
the turntable (see ⓑ in Fig. 29).
NOTE
When cutting a single groove at either end of the
workpiece, remove the unneeded portion with a chisel.
10. Cutting
easily-deformed
aluminum sash
Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform
when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This will
cause ineffi cient cutting and possible overload of the
motor.
When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect
the workpiece as shown in Fig. 30-a. Set the wood plate
near the cutting section.
When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade
with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve smooth
cutting and a fi ne fi nish.
In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the
wood plate as shown in Fig. 30-b to ensure stability in
the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section
of the workpiece and tighten it using both the vise
assembly and the clamp available in the market.
SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND
DISMOUNTING
WARNING
● To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off
the trigger switch and disconnect the power plug from
the receptacle and/or remove the battery pack before
removing or installing a saw blade.
If cutting work is done in a state where the 8 mm bolt is
not suffi ciently tightened, the 8 mm bolt can get loose,
the blade can come off , and the lower guard can get
damaged, resulting in injuries.
Also, check that the 8 mm bolts are properly tightened
before plugging the power plug into the receptacle and/
or inserting the battery pack.
materials,
such
as
47
● If the 8 mm bolts are attached or detached using tools
other than the 13 mm wrench (standard accessory),
excessive or improperly tightening occurs, resulting in
injury.
1. Dismounting the blade (Fig. 31-a, Fig. 31-b, Fig. 31-c
and Fig. 31-d)
(1) Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
(2) Raise the cutting head to the upright position and slide
the cutting head completely toward the rear of the unit
and tighten the slide securing knob.
(3) Raise the lower guard to the uppermost position.
(4) While holding the lower guard, remove the cover plate
screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
(5) Rotate the cover plate to expose the 8 mm bolt.
(6) Place the blade end spanner over the 8 mm bolt.
(7) Locate the spindle lock on the motor.
(8) Press the spindle lock, holding it in fi rmly while turning
the blade clockwise. The spindle lock will then engage
and lock the arbor. Continue to hold the spindle lock,
while turning the spanner clockwise to loosen the
8 mm bolt.
(9) Remove the 8 mm bolt, washer (B) and the blade. Do not
remove the washer (A).
NOTE
○ If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock the
spindle, turn the 8 mm bolt with 13 mm wrench (standard
accessory) while applying pressure on the spindle lock.
The saw blade spindle is locked when the spindle lock is
pressed inward.
○ Pay attention to the pieces removed, noting their position
and direction they face. Wipe the washer (B) clean from
any sawdust before installing a new blade.
WARNING
When mounting the saw blade, confi rm that the rotation
indicator mark on the saw blade and the rotation direction
of the lower guard (see Fig. 1) are properly matched.
CAUTION
● Confi rm that the spindle lock has returned to the retract
position after installing or removing the saw blade.
● Tighten the 8 mm bolt so it does not come loose during
operation.
Confi rm the 8 mm bolt has been properly tightened
before the power tool is started.
2. Mounting the saw blade
WARNING
Unplug the miter saw before changing/installing the
blade.
(1) Install a 255 mm blade with arbor, making sure the
rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise
rotation arrow on the lower guard, and the blade teeth
are pointing downward.
(2) Place washer (B) against the blade. Thread the 8 mm
bolt on arbor in a counterclockwise direction.
NOTE
Make sure the fl ats of the blade collars are engaged with
the fl ats on the arbor shaft. Also, the fl at side of the blade
collar must be placed against the blade.
(3) Place the blade spanner on the 8 mm bolt.
(4) Press the spindle lock, holding it in fi rmly while turning
the blade counterclockwise. When it engages, continue
to press the spindle lock in, while tightening the 8 mm
bolt securely.
(5) Rotate the cover plate back to its original position until
the slot in the cover plate engages with the hole of cover
plate screw.
While holding the lower guard at the uppermost position,
tighten the cover plate screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
(6) Lower the lower guard and verify that operation of the
guard does not bind or stick.
(7) Be sure the spindle lock is released so the blade turns
freely.
