Fig.26
The rip fence is factory adjusted so that it is parallel to the
blade surface. Make sure that it is parallel. To check to be
sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade. Lower the
table to the lowest position so that the blade appears at the
topmost position from the table. Mark one of the blade teeth
with a crayon. Measure the distance (A) and (B) between
the rip fence and blade. Take both measurements using the
tooth marked with the crayon. These two measurements
should be identical If the rip fence is not parallel with the
blade, proceed as follows:
Fig.27
(1) Turn the adjusting screws counterclockwise.
Fig.28
Fig.29
(2) Shift the back edge of the rip fence slightly to right
or left until it becomes parallel with the blade.
(3) Tighten the adjusting screw on the rip fence firmly.
CAUTION:
Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with
•
the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may occur.
Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it does not
•
contact the top blade guard or saw blade.
Dust bag
Fig.30
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it
onto the dust nozzle.
NOTE:
In miter saw mode, always insert the dust bag to
•
the back nozzle only.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the
dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.
Fig.31
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more
efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
When using in the table saw mode, connect a vacuum cleaner.
Table saw mode
Fig.32
Miter saw mode
Fig.33
To install the blade cover when using in the table saw
mode (bench mode), turn the turn base to 0°miter angle
(see the section titled "Adjusting miter angle") and place
the blade cover on the turn table so that the blade cover
is centered over the slit for the blade entrance in the
turn table and then lock the handle in the lowest position
by fully pushing in the stopper pin as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
When using the tool in the table saw mode (bench
•
mode), make sure that the blade cover is installed
on the turn table.
Securing workpiece
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece with the optional
vise. If you must use your hand to hold the workpiece, then
it must be done firmly and securely so as not to lose control
of the workpiece. Your hand and arm must be kept well
away from the blade area (100 mm minimum). Squeeze the
workpiece firmly against the guide fence with your fingers
held over the top of the guide fence. The workpiece must
also rest steadily on the turn base.
WARNING:
Never use your hand to hold the workpiece that requires
•
your hand to be any closer than 100 mm from the blade
area. In this case, always use the optional vise to
secure the workpiece. After any cutting operation, raise
the blade gently. Never raise the blade until it has come
to a complete stop. Serious injury may result.
CAUTION:
When cutting long workpieces, use supports that
•
are as high as the top surface level of the turn
base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
horizontal vise (optional) to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

Sub-fence (for European countries only)
Fig.35
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. Usually
position the sub-fence
performing left bevel cuts, flip it outward.
CAUTION:
When performing left bevel cuts, flip the sub-fence
•
outward. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a
part of the tool, causing possible serious injury to
the operator.
Vertical vise
Fig.36
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence. Insert the
vise rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder
assembly and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw 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.
