Dust bag
Optional accessory
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.
To attach the fastener, align the top end of the fastener
with the triangular mark on the dust bag.
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.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that is
longer than the support base of the saw, support
the entire length of the material beyond the support
base and at the same height to keep the material
level. Proper workpiece support helps to 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.
► Fig.38: 1. Support 2. Turn base
Vertical vise
WARNING:
Secure the workpiece firmly
against the turn base and guide fence with the
vise during all operations. Otherwise the material
may move during the cutting operation, cause dam-
age to the blade, and be thrown which may result in
loss of control and serious personal injury.
Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of
the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence
or the holder assembly and tighten the lower screw to
secure the vise rod.

7. Lower screw 8. Upper screw
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the upper screw. If the upper screw contacts
the guide fence, install the upper 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.
Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING:
indicator is at the topmost position. Failure to do
so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This may cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause
damage to the blade or cause the loss of control,
which may result in personal injury.
► Fig.40: 1. Vise knob 2. Indicator 3. Vise shaft
4. Base
The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of
the base.
By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is
released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and out. By
turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw remains secured.
To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clock-
wise until the indicator reaches its topmost position,
then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or
pulled out while being turned clockwise, the indicator
may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob
back counterclockwise until the screw is released, and
then turn it again gently clockwise.
The maximum capacity of the horizontal vise is 120 mm width.
Holders and holder assembly
Optional accessory
WARNING:
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
The holders and the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory) can be installed on either side as a convenient
means of supporting workpieces horizontally.
Install them on the side of the tool, then tighten the
screws firmly to secure them.
► Fig.41: 1. Holder 2. Holder assembly
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

OPERATION
WARNING:
ing the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the work-
piece may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
which secure the slide poles while the saw blade
is rotating. Otherwise the tool may lose control and
result in personal injury.
