Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

011305
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 clockwise until the projection reaches its
topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob is
forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the
projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise
knob back counterclockwise until the screw is released,
before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm.
WARNING:
Grip the workpiece only when the projection is
•
at the topmost position. Failure to do so may
result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This
could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause
damage to the blade or cause the loss of control,
which can result in PERSONAL INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories)

The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on
either side as a convenient means of supporting
workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the
figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece 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 will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
•
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when
•
cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the motor
and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down handle
with only as much force as is necessary for smooth cutting
and without significant decrease in blade speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the
•
handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is
applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw
mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be
impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the
•
guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement is
stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the
workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
•
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the
workpiece may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.
