unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.

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.35
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.

Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
Loosen the hex nut and 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

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

the pointer points to 45°.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.41
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.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.
