WARNING
○ Exercise utmost caution in handling a switch trigger for
the position adjustment of the laser line, as the battery is
installed during operation.
If the switch trigger is pulled inadvertently, the saw blade
can rotate and result in unexpected accidents.
○ Do not remove the laser marker to be used for other
purposes.
CAUTION (Fig. 18)
○ Laser radiation - Do not stare into beam.
○ Laser radiation on work table. Do not stare into beam. If
your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be
hurt.
○ Do not dismantle it.
○ Do not give strong impact to the laser marker (main body
of tool); otherwise, the position of a laser line can go out
of order, resulting in the damage of the laser marker as
well as a shortened service life.
○ Keep the laser marker lit only during a cutting operation.
Prolonged lighting of the laser marker can result in a
shortened service life.
○ Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specifi ed herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTE
○ Perform cutting by overlapping the ink line with the laser
line.
○ When the ink line and the laser line are overlapped, the
strength and weakness of light will change, resulting in a
stable cutting operation because you can easily discern
the conformity of lines. This ensures the minimum cutting
errors.
○ In outdoor or near-the-window operations, it may
become diffi cult to observe the laser line due to the
sunlight. Under such circumstances, move to a place
that is not directly under the sunlight and engage in the
operation.
○ Check and make sure on a periodic basis if the position
of the laser line is in order. As regards the checking
method, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece with
the height of about 20 mm and the width of 150 mm, and
check that the laser line is in line with the ink line [The
deviation between the ink line and the laser line should
be less than the ink line width (0.5 mm)]. (Fig. 19)
9. Cutting operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 20 the width of the saw blade is the
width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the
right (viewed from the operator's position) when length
is desired, or to the left when length
If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left
side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the
laser line.
(2) After turning on the switch and checking that the saw
blade is rotating at maximum speed, slowly push down
the handle while holding down the lever (A) and bring the
saw blade in the vicinity of the material to be cut.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the
handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the
power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely
before raising the handle from the workpiece to return it
to the full retract position.
CAUTION
○ For maximum dimensions
"SPECIFICATIONS" table.
○ Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the
cutting speed. On the contrary, too much pressure may
result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
effi ciency.
○ Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the
battery has been removed whenever the tool is not in
use.
is desired.
for cutting, refer to
46
○ Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop
completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating,
the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw
blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
○ Every time one cutting of deep-cutting operation is
fi nished, turn the switch off , and check that the saw
blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it
to the full retract position.
○ Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the
top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
○ Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the
motor. Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting
operation once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then
restart your cutting operation.
10. Cutting narrow workpieces (Press cutting) (Fig. 21)
Slide the hinge down to holder (A), then tighten the slide
securing wing bolt (Fig. 1). Lower the handle to cut the
workpiece. Using the power tool this way will permit
cutting of workpieces of up to 58 mm height × 75 mm
width.
11. Cutting large workpieces (Fig. 22, 23)
There may be case when a complete cutting cannot be
done depending on the height of workpiece. In this case,
mount an auxiliary board with the 6 mm fl at head screws
and the 6 mm nuts using the 6.5 mm holes on the fence
surface (two holes on each side). (Fig. 22)
Refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" for the thickness of the
auxiliary board.
NOTE
When cutting a workpiece exceeding 67 mm in height in
right-angle cutting or 45 mm in left bevel angle cutting or
22 mm in right bevel angle cutting, adjust the lower limit
position so that the base of the motor head will not come
in contact with the workpiece.
To adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade, follow the
procedure (1) and (2) shown in Fig. 23.
(1) Tilt the stopper (B) and turn the stopper holder on the
side of the head towards the rear.
(2) Lower the motor head, and turn the 8 mm depth
adjustment bolt and make adjustments so that there can
be a clearance of 2 mm to 3 mm between the lower limit
position of the motor head and the top of the workpiece
at the saw blade's lower limit position where the head of
the 8 mm depth adjustment bolt contacts the hinge.
12. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting) (Fig. 24)
(1) Workpieces up to 58 mm high and 310 mm wide:
Loosen the slide securing wing bolt (Fig. 1), grip the
handle and slide the saw blade forward.
Then press down on the handle and slide the saw
blade back to cut the workpiece. This facilitates cutting
of workpieces of up to 58 mm in height and 310 mm in
width.
(2) Workpieces up to 67 mm high and 263 mm wide:
Workpieces of up to 67 mm in height and up to 263 mm
in width can be cut in the same manner as described in
paragraph 11 above.
(3) Spacers (D) can be used to minimize burrs on the
surface of materials when making slide cuts. (Fig. 24-b)
CAUTION
○ When cutting a workpiece of 67 mm height, adjust the
lower limit position of the motor head so that the gap
between the lower edge of the motor head and the
workpiece will be 2 to 3 mm at the lower limit position.
Refer to "11. Cutting large workpieces".
○ If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral
force, the saw blade may vibrate during the cutting
operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the
workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.
Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.
