Special Max Width Cutting
Capacities Technique
The maximum cutting capacity of width can be achieved
by following the steps below:
For the maximum cutting width of this tool, refer
to the cutting capacities for special cuttings in the
SPECIFICATIONS section.
1. Set the tool at 0° or 45° miter angle and make sure
that the turn base is locked. (Refer to the section for
miter angle adjustment.)
2. Remove both right and left upper fences temporar-
ily and set aside them.
3. Cut a platform to the dimensions indicated in the
figure using a 38 mm thick, flat stock material such as
wood, plywood or particle board.
► Fig.60: 1. 0° Miter angle: Over 450 mm 2. 45° Miter
angle: Over 325 mm 3. 38 mm 4. Over
760 mm
WARNING:
Be sure to use flat stock as a
platform. Stock that is not flat may move during the
cutting operation which may result in kickback and
serious personal injury.
NOTE: The maximum cutting capacity in height will
be reduced by the same amount as the platform
thickness.
4. Place the platform on the tool so that it extends
equally over each side of the tool base.
Secure the platform to the tool using four 6 mm wood
screws through four holes in the lower fences.

3. Base 4. Platform
WARNING:
Make sure that the platform is lay-
ing flat against the tool base and secured firmly
to the lower fences using the four screw holes
provided. Failure to properly secure the platform may
result in movement and possible kickback resulting in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Ensure that the tool is firmly
mounted to a stable and flat surface. Failure to
properly mount and secure the tool could cause the
tool to be unstable resulting in a loss of control and/
or the tool falling which may result in serious personal
injury.
5. Install the upper fences on the tool.
WARNING:
Do not use the tool without upper
fences installed. The upper fences provide the ade-
quate support required to cut the workpiece.
If the workpiece is not supported properly, it may
move resulting in possible loss of control, kickback
and serious personal injury.
6.
Place the workpiece to be cut on the platform
secured to the tool.
7. Secure the workpiece firmly against the upper
fences with a vise before cutting.

4. Platform
8. Make a cut through the workpiece slowly accord-
ing to the operation explained in the section for slide
(push) cutting.
WARNING:
secured with the vise and make the cut slowly.
Failure to do so may cause the workpiece to move
resulting in possible kickback and serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
become weakened after several cuts are per-
formed at various miter angles. If the platform
becomes weakened due to the multiple kerf cuts left
in the material, the platform should be replaced. If the
weakened platform is not replaced, it may cause the
workpiece to move, during cutting, resulting in possi-
ble kickback and serious personal injury.
Groove cutting
WARNING:
type of cut by using a wider type blade or dado
blade. Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider
blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
to the original position when performing other
than groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with
the stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1. Adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade
using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit
the cutting depth of the saw blade. Refer to the section
for stopper arm.
2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the saw
blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of the work-
piece using a slide (push) cut.
► Fig.63: 1. Cut grooves with blade
3. Remove the workpiece material between the
grooves with a chisel.
Wood facing
WARNING:
facing to the guide fence. The screws should be
installed so that the screw heads are below the
surface of the wood facing so that they will not
interfere with the positioning of the material being
cut. Misalignment of the material being cut can case
unexpected movement during the cutting operation
which may result in a loss of control and serious
personal injury.
