position of the carriage fully pushed forward to the guide
fence. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base
as shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust
bag, etc., you can carry the tool more easily.

• Always secure all moving portions before carry-
ing the tool.
• Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes
only and not for any cutting operations.

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean
for the best and safest performance.

your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Miter angle
► 1. Guide fence 2. Hex socket bolt
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten
two clamp screws to secure the carriage.
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the
turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and
counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter
notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)
Loosen the hex socket bolts securing the guide fence
using the hex wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the
blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular
rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex
socket bolts on the guide fence in the order from the
