Groove cutting
► Fig.50: 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. Do not attempt to perform this type of cut using
wide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possible loss
of control and injury may result.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
position when performing other than groove
cutting.
Carrying tool
► Fig.51: 1. Stopper pin
► Fig.52
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. 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 forward 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.
• Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes
only and not for any cutting operations.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean
for the best and safest performance.
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.53: 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 bolt on the guide
fence in order starting from the right side.

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 pushing 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.

button
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 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt
clockwise. Then tighten the lever securely.

face of turn table
Make sure that the pointer on the arm point to 0° on the
bevel scale on the arm holder. If it does not point to 0°,
loosen the screw which secures the pointer and adjust
the pointer so that it will point to 0°.

45° bevel angle
► Fig.59: 1. Left 45° bevel angle adjusting bolt
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 points to 45° on the bevel scale on the arm
holder. If the pointer does not point to 45°, turn the 45° bevel
angle adjusting bolt (upper bolt) on the right side of the arm
until the pointer points to 45°.
