set plate flush against the end of the workpiece. Then
secure the set plate with the screw. When the set plate
is not used, loosen the screw and turn the set plate out
of the way.
NOTE:
• Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional acces-
sory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to
2,200 mm approximately.
Groove cutting
► Fig.45: 1. Cut grooves with blade
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the adjusting
screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting depth of the
blade. Refer to "Stopper arm" section described on previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut
parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using a
slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then remove the
workpiece material between the grooves with a chisel.
WARNING:
• Do not attempt to perform this 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.
Be sure to return the stopper arm 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.
Carrying tool
► Fig.46: 1. Stopper pin
► Fig.47
Make sure that the battery cartridge is removed. Secure
the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at the full
right miter angle position. Secure the slide poles so
that the lower slide pole is locked in the position of the
carriage fully pulled to operator and the upper poles are
locked in the position of the carriage fully pushed for-
ward to the guide fence. Lower the handle fully and lock
it in the lowered position by 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.
CAUTION:
• Always secure all moving portions before carry-
ing the tool. If portions of the tool move or slide
while being carried loss of control or balance
may occur resulting in personal injury.
WARNING:
Stopper pin is only for carrying and storage
•
purposes and should never be used for any
cutting operations. The use of the stopper pin
for cutting operations may cause unexpected
movement of the saw blade resulting in kickback
and serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing to perform inspection or maintenance.
WARNING:
• 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:
Miter angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten
two clamp screws to secure the carriage.
Loosen the grip 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 clockwise and
counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter
notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)
► Fig.48: 1. Guide fence 2. Hex socket bolt
Loosen the hex socket bolts securing the guide fence
using the hex 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.50: 1. Screw 2. Miter scale 3. Pointer
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°.
Bevel angle
0° bevel angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten
two clamp screws to secure the carriage. Lower the
handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by push-
ing in the stopper pin.

Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt (lower bolt) on the
right side of the arm two or three revolutions counter-
clockwise to tilt the blade to the right.
