Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. Intended use The tool is intended for accurate straight cutting and (only when used as a miter saw on the lower table) miter cutting in wood. Power supply The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. [. . . ] Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale. After changing the bevel angle, always secure the arm by tightening the lever clockwise. Push the upper position of the switch for turning on the light and the lower position for off. cAUTION: · Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly. nOTE: · Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. If the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows: (Fig. (2) Shift the back edge of the rip fence slightly to right or left until it becomes parallel with the blade. Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may occur. Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it does not contact the top blade guard or saw blade. Before adjusting the riving knife, loosen the two levers by turning counterclockwise and press the top table on the right side nearby the riving knife to its lowered position. Then secure the top table by firmly re-tightening the two levers as shown in the figure. 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. When using the tool in the miter saw mode, secure the top table at the topmost position so that the saw blade never protrudes from the top surface of the top table. cAUTION: · Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin. If you must use your hand to hold the workpiece, then it must be done firmly and securely so as not to lose control of the workpiece. Your hand and arm must be kept well away from the blade area (100 mm minimum). Squeeze the workpiece firmly against the guide fence with your fingers held over the top of the guide fence. wARNING: · Never use your hand to hold the workpiece that requires your hand to be any closer than 100 mm from the blade area. cAUTION: · When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as high as the top surface level of the turn base. Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK. Too much force may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. [. . . ] Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into the blade along with the rip fence. 44) (2) When the width of rip is narrower than 40 mm, the push stick cannot be used because the push stick will strike the top blade guard. install securely the auxiliary fence which is secured to the rip fence holder on the table. Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is about 25 mm from the front edge of the top table. [. . . ]
