2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip
and secure in place by tightening the clamping
screw (A). Before ripping, make sure the two
screws of the rip fence holder are secured. If it is
not secured enough, retighten it.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece
into the blade along with the rip fence.
(1) When the width of rip is 40 mm or wider, use
a push stick.
Fig.48
(2) When the width of rip is narrower than 40
mm, the push stick cannot be used because
the push stick will strike the top blade guard.
Use the auxiliary fence and push block.
Install securely the auxiliary fence which is
secured to the rip fence holder on the table.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is
about 25 mm from the front edge of the top
table. Continue to feed using the push block
on the top of the auxiliary fence until the cut
is complete.

Carrying tool
Fig.50
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade
at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at left miter angle
fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by fully 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.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
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.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
1. Miter angle
Fig.52
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn
the turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the
miter scale. Tighten the grip and loosen the hex
bolts securing the guide fence using the socket
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 bolts on the guide fence
in the order from the right side.
Fig.53
2. Bevel angle
Fig.54
(1) 0° bevel angle
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the
lowered position by pushing in the stopper
pin. Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt on the
right side of the turn base two or three
revolutions clockwise to tilt the blade to the
right.
Carefully square the side of the blade with
the top surface of the turn base using the
triangular rule, try-square, etc. by turning the
0° bevel
counterclockwise.
Fig.55
Make sure that the pointer on the turn base
point to 0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If it
does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which
secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so
that it will point to 0°.
Fig.56
(2) 45° bevel angle
Fig.57
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after
performing 0° bevel angle adjustment. To
adjust left 45° bevel angle, loosen the lever
and tilt the blade to the left fully. Make sure
that the pointer on the arm points to 45° on
the bevel scale on the arm. If the pointer
does not point to 45°, turn the 45° bevel
angle adjusting bolt on the left side of the
arm until the pointer points to 45°.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.58
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
