To attach the fastener, align the top end of the fastener
with the triangular mark on the dust bag.
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust
bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the
dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner
operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece correctly with the proper type of
vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool
and/or the workpiece.
After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
•
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising
of a coasting blade may result in serious personal
injury and damage to the workpiece.

When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
•
the support base of the saw, the material
should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to
keep the material level. Proper workpiece
support will help avoid blade pinch and possible
kickback which may result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin
material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its
entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the
holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod
into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly
and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the
opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the
tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against
•
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations. If the workpiece is not
properly secured against the fence the material
