NOTICE:
The lower fences are fixed to the base in
the factory. Do not remove the lower fences.
NOTICE:
If the upper fence is still loose after tight-
ening the clamping screw, turn the adjusting screw to
close a gap. The adjusting screw is factory adjusted.
You don't need to use it unless needed.
You can store the upper fences onto the holder when not in
use. Use the clip on the upper fence to hold it on the holder.

Vertical vise
WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fence with
the vise during all operations. If the workpiece is
not properly secured against the fence the material
may move during the cutting operation causing
possible damage to the blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the base.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape
of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the
screw. If the clamping screw contacts the carriage, install it
on the opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of
the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the
way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
NOTE: For a quick setting of workpiece, turning the
vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the vise
knob to be moved up and down. To secure the work-
piece after setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.
Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING:
Always rotate the vise nut clock-
wise until the workpiece is properly secured. If the
workpiece is not properly, secured the material may
move during the cutting operation causing possible
damage to the saw blade, causing the material to be
thrown and loss of control resulting in serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:
When cutting a thin workpiece,
such as base boards, against the fence, always
use the horizontal vise.
CAUTION:
When cutting the workpiece of the
thickness 20 mm or thinner, make sure to use a
spacer block to secure the workpiece.
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on either
the left or right side of the base. When performing 22.5° or
greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side oppo-
site the direction in which the turn base is to be turned.
► Fig.42: 1. Vise plate 2. Vise nut 3. Vise knob
By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is
released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the work-
piece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate con-
tacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut clockwise. Then
turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
NOTE: The maximum width of workpiece which can
be secured by the horizontal vise is 228 mm.
Holders
WARNING:
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, holders are pro-
vided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws and
extend the holders to the appropriate length for holding
the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.

OPERATION
WARNING:
contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch
is turned on. Turning the tool on with the blade in
contact with the workpiece may result in kickback and
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
not raise the saw blade until it has come to a
complete stop. The raising of a coasting blade may
result in serious personal injury and damage to the
workpiece.
WARNING:
such as turning grip, knob, and levers on the tool
while the saw blade is rotating. Adjustment while
the blade is rotating may result in serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stop-
per pin and release the handle from the lowered
position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the
carriage toward the guide fence without stopping.
If the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a
mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of
the cut will be impaired.
