   NOTE
   Confirm that the saw blade is adjusted so that it will not cut into the turntable.

4. Lower limit position of saw blade when cutting a large workpiece
   NOTE
   When cutting a workpiece exceeding 65 mm in height in right-angle cutting or 60 mm in left bevel angle cutting or 45 mm in right bevel angle cutting, adjust the lower limit position so that the base of the motor head (Fig. 6) will not come in contact with the workpiece.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

WARNING

• To avoid personal injury, never remove or place a workpiece on the table while the tool is being operated.
• Never place your limbs inside of the line next to warning sign while the tool is being operated. This may cause hazardous conditions (See Fig. 8). CAUTION
• It is dangerous to remove or install the workpiece while the saw blade is turning.
• When sawing, clean off the shavings from the turntable.
• If the shavings accumulate too much, the saw blade from the cutting material will be exposed. Never subject your hand or anything else to go near the exposed blade.

1. Tightly secure the material by vise assembly to be cut so that it does not move during cutting

2. Switch operation
   Pulling the trigger turns the switch on. Releasing the trigger turns the switch off.

3. Base holder adjustment (Fig. 3)
   Loosen the 6 mm bolt with the supplied 10 mm box wrench. Adjust the base holder until its bottom surface contacts the bench or the floor surface. After adjustment, firmly tighten the 6 mm bolt.

4. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory) (Fig. 9)

5. The vise assembly can be mounted on either the left fence {Fence (B)} or the right fence {Fence (A)} by loosening the 6 mm wing bolt (A).

6. The screw holder can be raised or lowered according to the height of the workpiece by loosening the 6 mm wing bolt (B). After the adjustment, firmly tighten the 6 mm wing bolt (B) and fix the screw holder.

7. Turn the upper knob and securely fix the workpiece in position.
   WARNING

  * Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.  

CAUTION

  *  Always confirm that the motor head does not contact the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 6 mm wing bolt and move the vise assembly to a position where it will not contact the saw blade.

5. Positioning the table insert (Fig. 1)

6. Right angle cutting
   Loosen the three 6 mm machine screws, then secure the left side table insert and temporarily tighten the 6 mm machine screws of both ends. Then fix a workpiece (about 200 mm wide) with the vise assembly and cut it off. After aligning the cutting surface with the edge of the table insert, securely tighten the 6 mm machine screws of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 6 mm center machine screw. Adjust the right hand table insert in the same way.

7. Left and right bevel angle cutting
   Adjust the table insert in the manner same procedure for right angle cutting.
   CAUTION

  * After adjusting the table insert for right angle cutting, the table insert will be cut to some extent if it is used for bevel angle cutting.  

When bevel cutting operation is required, adjust the table insert for bevel angle cutting.

6. Confirmation for use of sub fence (Optional accessory)
   This power tool is equipped with a sub fence. In the case of direct angle cutting and right bevel angle cutting, use the sub fence. Then, you can do Left bevel angle cutting, Right bevel angle cutting and Direct angle cutting and realize stable cutting of the material with a wide back face.
   WARNING

   • In the case of left bevel cutting, turn the sub fence counterclockwise (Fig. 10). Unless it is turned counterclockwise, the main body or saw blade may contact the sub fence, resulting in an injury.

7. Using an ink line
   Upon lowering the motor section, the lower guard is raised and the saw blade appears.
   Align the ink line with the saw blade.
   CAUTION
   Never lift the lower guard while the saw blade is rotating.
   The sub fence will not only make contact and adversely affect cutting accuracy, this could also result in damage to the guard.

8. Install the side handle (Fig. 1)
   Install the side handle that came enclosed with this unit.

9. Position adjustment of laser line (Only Model C8FSHE)
   Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser marker. A switch lights up the laser marker (Fig. 11).
   Depending upon your cutting choice, the laser line can be aligned with the left side of the cutting width (saw blade) or the ink line on the right side. The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time of factory shipment. Adjust the positions of the saw blade and the laser line taking the following steps to suit the use of your choice.

10. Light up the laser marker and make a groove of about 5 mm deep on the workpiece that is about 20 mm in height and 150 mm in width. Hold the grooved workpiece by vise as it is and do not move it. For grooving work, refer to “21. Groove cutting procedures”.

11. Then, turn the adjuster and shift the laser line. (If you turn the adjuster clockwise, the laser line will shift to the right and if you turn it counterclockwise, the laser line will shift to the left.) When you work with the ink line aligned with the left side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the left end of the groove (Fig. 12). When you align it with the right side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the right side of the groove.

12. After adjusting the position of the laser line, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece and align the ink line with the laser line. When aligning the ink line, slide the workpiece little by little and secure it by vise at a position where the laser line overlaps with the ink line. Work on the grooving again and check the position of the laser line. If you wish to change the laser line’s position, make adjustments again following the steps from (1) to (3).
    WARNING

  * Make sure before plugging the power plug into the receptacle that the main  

body and the laser marker are turned off.

  * Exercise utmost caution in handling a switch trigger for the position adjustment of the laser line, as the power plug is plugged into the receptacle during operation.  

If the switch trigger is pulled inadvertently, the saw blade can rotate and result in unexpected accidents.

  * Do not remove the laser marker to be used for other purposes.  

CAUTION (Fig. 13)

  * Laser radiation – Do not stare into beam.
  * Laser radiation on work table. Do not stare into beam.  

If your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be hurt.

  * Do not dismantle it.
  * Do not give strong impact to the laser marker (main body of tool); otherwise, the position of a laser line can go out of order, resulting in the damage of the laser marker as well as a shortened service life.
  * Keep the laser marker lit only during a cutting operation. Prolonged lighting of the laser marker can result in a shortened service life.
  * Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. NOTE
  * Perform cutting by overlapping the ink line with the laser line.
  * When the ink line and the laser line are overlapped, the strength and weakness of light will change, resulting in a stable cutting operation because you can easily discern the conformity of lines. This ensures the minimum cutting errors.
  * In outdoor or near-the-window operations, it may become difficult to observe the laser line due to the sunlight. Under such circumstances, move to a place that is not directly under the sunlight and engage in the operation.
  * Do not tug on the cord behind the motor head or hook your finger, wood and the like around it; otherwise, the cord may come off and the laser marker may not be lit up.
  * Check and make sure on a periodic basis if the position of the laser line is in order. As regards the checking method, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece with the height of about 20 mm and the width of 150 mm, and check that the laser line is in line with the ink line [The deviation between the ink line and the laser line should be less than the ink line width (0.5 mm)].(Fig. 14)

10. Cutting operation
11. As shown in Fig. 15 the width of the saw blade is the width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the right (viewed from the operator’s position) when length is desired, or to the left when length is desired. If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the laser line.
12. After turning on the switch and checking that the saw blade is rotating at maximum speed, slowly push down the handle while holding down the lock lever and bring the saw blade in the vicinity of the material to be cut.
13. Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
14. After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece to return it to the full retract position.
    CAUTION

  * For maximum dimensions for cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table.
  * Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed. On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.
  * Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in use.
  * Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece. If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
  * Every time one cutting of deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the switch off, and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to the full retract position.
  * Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.

11. Cutting narrow workpieces (Press cutting)
    Slide the hinge down to holder (A), then tighten the slide securing knob (Fig. 2). Lower the handle to cut the workpiece. Using the power tool this way will permit cutting of workpieces of up to 65 mm square.

12. Cutting large workpieces
    There may be case when a complete cutting cannot be done depending on the height of workpiece. In this case, mount an auxiliary board with the 6mm flat head screws and the 6mm nuts using the 7mm holes on the fence surface (two holes on each side). (Fig. 16)
    Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” for the thickness of the auxiliary board.

13. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting)
    Loosen the slide securing knob (Fig. 2), grip the handle and slide the saw blade forward. Then press down on the handle and slide the saw blade back to cut the workpiece. This facilitates cutting of workpieces of up to 312 mm in width.
    WARNING

    • Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation because
      the saw blade comes close to the side handle when the motor head is lowered.

14. Miter cutting procedures

15. Loosen the side handle and pull up the lever for angle stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 17).

16. Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the desired position.

17. The miter scale indicates both the cutting angle on the angle scale and the gradient on the grade scale.

18. The gradient, which is the ratio of the height to the base of the triangular section to be removed, may be used for setting the miter scale instead of the cutting angle, if desired.

19. Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set the indicator to position.
    NOTE

  * Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0° center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° settings.  

Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.

  * Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.

15. Bevel cutting procedures (Fig. 18)
    CAUTION

    • Ensure that the clamp lever is securely fixed when beveling.
    • Please do this if the length of the material being cut off is more than 25 mm long. Sometimes cutting cannot be accomplished because the saw blade will catch on the inside of the lower guard.

    1. Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left or to the right.
       When tilting the motor head to the right pull the set pin towards the rear.
       NOTE
       Loosen the clamp lever, tilt the main unit to the left and then pull the set pin to enable 48-degree cuts.
       Loosen the clamp lever and slant to the left a little at a time while pushing the set pin into the main unit. At this time, the set pin will enter one step and fit into the 30° left slant and 33.9° left slant setting slots.
       With the set pin in the slot as described above, setting to the 30° left slant position is possible by pushing to the right side.
       Also, with the set pin in the slot as described above, setting to the 33.9° left slant position is possible by pushing to the left side.

    2. Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the
       bevel angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever.
       WARNING

    • When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest on the right or left side of the saw blade. Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
      If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
      When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial position.
      Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.

16. Compound cutting procedures Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 13 and 14 above. For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” table.
    CAUTION

    • Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand and cut it by sliding the round portion of the saw backwards with the left hand.
      It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left during compound cutting because the saw blade may come into contact with the hand that is securing the workpiece.
