ScrewAlign the cutting line on your workpiece with either the left orright side of the groove in the kerf board, and while holdingthe workpiece, move the set plate lush against the end o f theworkpiece. Then secure the set plate with the screw.When the set plate is not used, loosen the screw andturn the set plate out of the way.NOTE: Use of the holder-rod assembly (optionalaccessory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to2,200 mm approximately.Groove cuttingWARNING: Do not attempt to perform this typeof cut by using a wider type blade or dado blade.Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider blade or dadoblade could lead to unexpected cutting results and kickbackwhich may result in serious personal injury.WARNING: Be sure to return the stopper arm tothe original position when performing other than groovecutting. Attempting to make cuts with the stopper arm in theincorrect position could lead to unexpected cutting results andkickback which may result in serious personal injury.For a dado type cut, perform as follows:1. Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the adjust-ing screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting depth of theblade. Refer to "Stopper arm" section described on previousl y.2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,cut parallel grooves across the width of the workpieceusing a slide (push) cut.1Ź 1. Cut grooves with blade3. Remove the workpiece material between thegrooves with a chisel.Carrying toolWARNING: Stopper pin is only for carryingand storage purposes and should never be usedfor any cutting operations. The use of the stopperpin for cutting operations may cause unexpectedmovement of the saw blade resulting in kickback andserious personal injury.CAUTION: Always secure all moving portionsbefore carrying the tool. If portions of the tool moveor slide while being carried loss of control or balancemay occur resulting in personal injury.1. Remove the battery cartridge.2. Secure the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turnbase at the full right miter angle position.3. Secure the slide poles so that the lower slide poleis locked in the position of the carriage fully pulled tooperator and the upper poles are locked in the positionof the carriage fully pushed forward to the guide fence.4. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the loweredposition by pushing in the stopper pin.5. Carry the tool by holding both sides of the toolbase. If you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you cancarry the tool more easily.MAINTENANCEWARNING: Always be sure that the blade issharp and clean for the best and safest perfor-mance. Attempting a cut with a dull and /or dirty blademay cause kickback and result in a serious personalinjury.CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool isswitched off and the battery cartridge is removedbefore attempting to perform inspection ormaintenance.NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation orcracks may result.
