MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance. Failure to unplug and switch off the
tool may result in accidental start up of the tool which
may result in serious personal injury.
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for
the best and safest performance. Attempting a cut
with a dull and/or dirty blade may cause kickback and
result in a serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
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
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten the
locking screw clockwise and pull the lock lever towards
the front of the saw to secure the carriage.
Turn the grip counterclockwise 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 clock-
wise 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 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
socket bolts on the guide fence in order starting from the
right side. (Fig. 59)
Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale.
If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which
secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will
point to 0°. (Fig. 60)
2. Bevel angle
Push the latch lever forward fully to release the positive
stops.
1) 0° bevel angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the lock
lever towards the front of the saw to secure the car-
riage. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the low-
ered position by pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen
the lever at the rear of the tool. (Fig. 61)
Turn the hex socket bolt on the right side of the arm
holder two or three revolutions counterclockwise to
tilt the blade to the right. (Fig. 62)
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 hex socket bolt on the
right side of the arm holder clockwise. Then tighten
the lever securely. (Fig. 63)
26
Make sure that the pointers on the arm holder point
to 0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If they do not
point to 0°, loosen the screws which secure the
pointers and adjust them so that they will point to 0°.
(Fig. 64)
2) 45° bevel angle (Fig. 65)
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 holder
points to 45° on the bevel scale on the arm. If the
pointer does not point to 45°, turn the left 45° bevel
angle adjusting bolt on the side of the arm until the
pointer points to 45°.
To adjust right 45° bevel angle, perform the same
procedure described above.
