When using in miter saw mode:
31. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, alu-
minum or similar materials.
32. Do not perform operation freehand when cutting
workpiece in an area close to saw blade. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn table and guide fence during all operations.
33. Make sure that the turn table is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
34. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed when
beveling. Tighten the lever clockwise to fix the
arm.
35. Make sure the blade does not contact the turn
table in the lowest position and is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
36. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
When using in the table saw (bench saw) mode:
37. Do not perform any operation freehand. Free-
hand means using your hands to support or
guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence.
38. Make sure that the turn table is fixed securely.
39. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed in the
working position. Tighten the lever clockwise to
fix the arm.
40. Use a push stick or a push block to avoid work-
ing with the hands and fingers close to the saw
blade.
41. Make sure the blade is not contacting the riving
knife or workpiece before the switch is turned
on.
42. Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
43. Pay particular attention to instructions for reduc-
ing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a sudden
reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of the
workpiece from the tool back towards the opera-
tor. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PER-
SONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping
the blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel
to the blade, by keeping the riving knife and
blade guard in place and operating properly, by
not releasing the workpiece until you have
pushed it all the way past the blade, and by not
ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped or
does not have a straight edge to guide along the
fence.
44. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as
possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do not
bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If you
stall or jam the blade in the workpiece, turn the
tool off immediately. Unplug the tool. Then clear
the jam.
45. Before turning over the tool, always make sure
that the stopper pin has securely locked the tool
head in the lowest position.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
• Keep the floor area around the tool level well main-
tained and free of loose materials such as chips and
cut-offs.
Bench mounting (Fig. 1, 2 & 3)
For the fully-extended feet set up as the high table
When the tool cannot be set up stable, turn the adjusting
nut at the foot of the tool for proper stability. Turn counter-
clockwise in top viewing to make the foot shorter and
clockwise in top viewing to make it longer. After adjust-
ment, make sure that the tool keep stable.
Install the fix plates with its angled end pointing outwards
onto three feet of the tool with hex bolts. And secure the
tool to the stable and level surface using bolt holes pro-
vided in the fix plates with three bolts.
For the folded feet set up as the low table
When the tool is ready in the foot-folded position, secure
the tool by using U-shaped grooves shown in the figure.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Blade guard (Fig. 4, 5 & 6)
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the handle cannot be lowered without
pushing the lever nearby the handle to the left.
• Make sure that the lower blade guards A dose not open
unless the lever near the handle is pushed at the top-
most position of the handle.
• Make sure that the lower blade guard C is installed
before using in miter saw mode.
When lowering the handle while pushing the lever to the
left, the lower blade guard A rises automatically. The
lower blade guard B rises as it contacts a workpiece. The
lower blade guards are spring loaded so it returns to its
original position when the cut is completed and the han-
dle is raised. The top blade guard falls flat on the table
surface after workpiece has passed under it. NEVER
DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE LOWER BLADE GUARDS,
THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES TO THE LOWER
BLADE GUARD, OR THE TOP BLADE GUARD except
for the note below.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
each blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the guards should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of the lower
blade guards. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE LOWER
BLADE GUARD, SPRING OR THE TOP BLADE GUARD
ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED except for the
note below. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
