Dust bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, insert
the dust nozzle into the dust spout on the blade case and
fit the bag’s entry port over 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 par-
ticles adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more
efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
•
It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure
to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or
the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL
INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting
operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade
has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION:
•
When cutting long workpieces, use supports that
are as high as the top surface level of the turn base.
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.
Sub-fence
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the left
position as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
•
When performing left bevel cuts, flip the fence over
to the left position as shown in the figure.
Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part of the
tool, causing possible serious injury to the operator.
Sub-fence R
The sub-fence R can be installed on the right side of the
guide fence. Insert the rods of the sub-fence R into the
holes in the guide fence. Tighten the screws which come
with the sub-fence R to secure the sub-fence R.
CAUTION:
•
When performing right bevel cuts, never use the
sub-fence R. It will contact the blade or a part of the
tool, causing possible serious injury to the operator.
