14 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw Operator's Manual
Operation
PRE-OPERATION (CONTINUED):
BEFORE CUTTING:
1.
Cutting groove on the table insert:
A groove has to be cut in the table insert, before starting operation.
Secure a piece of wood about 5-1/2" (140 mm) wide to the table with the
vise assembly, to prevent the breakage of the table insert. After the switch
has been turned on and the saw blade has reached maximum speed,
slowly lower the handle to cut a groove on the table insert.
CAUTION: DO NOT CUT THE GROOVE TOO QUICKLY,
OTHERWISE THE TABLE INSERT MIGHT BECOME
DAMAGED.
2. Checking the saw blade lower limit position:
WARNING: TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT OR PERSONAL
INJURY, ALWAYS TURN OFF THE TRIGGER SWITCH
AND DISCONNECT THE POWER PLUG FROM THE
RECEPTACLE BEFORE ADJUSTMENT.
Check that the saw blade can be lowered 1-5/8" to 1-21/32"
(41 mm to 42 mm) below the table insert. If necessary, adjust as follows:
a. Loosen the 8 mm lock nut on the 8 mm depth
adjustment screw.
b. Turn the 8 mm depth adjustment screw as necessary to set the lower
limit position. The saw blade goes up when the 8 mm depth
adjustment screw is turned counterclockwise and down when it is
turned clockwise.
c. Once the adjustment is complete, fully tighten the 8 mm lock nut.
NOTE: Before tightening the 8 mm lock nut, confirm that the saw blade is
adjusted so that it will not cut into the table.
3. Confirmation for use of sub fence:
WARNING: IN THE CASE OF LEFT BEVEL CUTTING, TURN THE SUB
FENCE COUNTERCLOCKWISE. UNLESS IT IS TURNED
COUNTERCLOCKWISE, THE MAIN BODY OR SAW
BLADE MAY CONTACT THE SUB FENCE, RESULTING IN
AN INJURY.
This power tool is equipped with a sub fence. (See Fig. 1) In the case of
direct angel cutting and angle cutting, use the sub fence.
In the case of left bevel cutting, raise the sub fence up as illustrated in
Fig. 8 and then turn it counterclockwise.
