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.
CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the top
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to prevent
dangerous loss of control of the tool.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc.
before the switch is turned on.
• 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.
