PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATION Make the following preparations before operating the power tool: 1. Installation Base 8mm (5/16") Bolt 150mm (5-29/32") (11/32") 3 Holes 300mm (11-13/16") Work Bench 8mm (5/16") Nut Fig. 4 Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench in accordance with Fig. 4. Select 8mm (5/16") diameter bolts suitable in length for the thickness of the work bench.
3. Installing the dust bag, holder, stopper and vises (The holder and stopper are optional accessories.) Attach the dust bag and vise assembly as indicated in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. BEFORE USING 1. Make sure the power source is appropriate for the tool. WARNING: Never connect the power tool unless the available AC power source is of the same voltage as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.

7. Check the lower limit position of the Saw Blade. Although it was adjusted before shipment, carefully check the height of the saw blade. Confirm that the saw blade can be lowered 10mm to 11mm (13/32" to 7/16") below the table insert.
BEFORE CUTTING 1. Cutting a groove on the guard Holder (A) has a guard (see Fig. 8) into which a Handle groove must be cut. Holder (A) Loosen the 6mm knob bolt to retract the guard Knob Bolt slightly. After placing a suitable wooden piece to Guard sit on the fence and the table surfaces, fix it with Vise...

7. Securing the workpiece WARNING: Always clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm. 8. Installing the holders ... (Optional accessory) The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and in place during the cutting operation.

12. Position adjustment of laser line (Only Model C10FSH) WARNING: * Make sure before plugging the power plug into the receptacle that the main body and the laser marker are turned off. * Exercise utmost caution in handling a switch trigger for the position adjustment of the laser line, as the power plug is plugged into the receptacle during operation.

Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser marker. A switch lights up the laser marker. Switch (Fig. 20) Depending upon your cutting choice, the laser line can be aligned with the left side of the cutting width Laser line (saw blade) or the ink line on the right side.
NOTE: Check and make sure on a periodic basis if the position of the laser line is in order. As regards the checking method, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece with the height of about 20mm (25/32") and the width of 150mm (5-29/32"), and check that the laser line is in line with the ink line [The deviation between the ink line and the laser line should be less than the ink line width (0.5mm)].

Therefore, the vise assembly can be attached in either of three positions to ensure proper height adjustment. After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt; then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely attach the workpiece in position. CAUTION: Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig.
Page 20
* Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the switch off, and check that the saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and return it to the full retract position. * Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
Page 21
CAUTION: * When cutting a workpiece of 88mm (3-15/32") height, adjust the lower limit position of the motor head so that the gap between the lower edge of the motor head and the workpiece will be 2 to 3mm (3/32" to 1/8") at the lower limit position.
Page 22
When stopping the bevel cutting operation halfway, start cutting after pulling back the motor head to the initial position. Starting from halfway, without pulling back, causes the lower guard to be caught in the cutting groove of the workpiece and to contact the saw blade.
Page 23
CAUTION: Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand and cut it by sliding the round portion of the saw backwards with the left hand. It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left during compound cutting because the saw blade may come into contact with the hand that is securing the workpiece.

12. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This will cause inefficient cutting and possible overload of the motor. When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in Fig.
SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING WARNING: * To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger switch and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before removing or installing a saw blade. If cutting work is done in a state where the bolt is not sufficiently tightened, the bolt can get loose, the blade can come off, and the lower guard can get damaged, resulting in injuries.
(4) Lift the lower guard and mount the saw blade. WARNING: When mounting the saw blade, confirm that the rotation indicator mark on the saw blade and the rotation direction of the gear case (see Fig. 1) are properly matched. (5) Thoroughly clean washer (D), collar and the bolt, and install them onto the saw blade spindle.
