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.

8. Make a cut through the workpiece slowly accord-
ing to the operation explained in the section for slide
(push) cutting.
WARNING:
Ensure that the workpiece is
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:
Be aware that the platform may
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:
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.
WARNING:
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.
For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1. Adjust the lower limit position of the circular saw
blade using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to
limit the cutting depth of the circular saw blade. Refer to
the section for stopper arm.
2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the circu-
lar saw blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of
the workpiece using a slide (push) cut.
► Fig.67: 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.
CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thick-
ness for the wood facing.
CAUTION:
In order to completely cut through
workpieces with a height of 107 mm to 120 mm, a
wood facing should be used on the guide fence.
The wood facing will space the workpiece away from
the fence allowing the blade to complete a deeper
cut.
NOTICE:
When the wood facing is attached, do
not turn the turn base with the handle lowered.
The blade and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence and 6 mm screws.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.
