6. Confirm the position of the spindle lock before using the tool.
After installing the saw blade, confirm that the spindle lock has been returned to the retract position
before using the power tool (see Fig. 2).
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 15/32" to 1/2" (12mm to 13mm) below the table insert. For details, see the
section on “Checking the saw blade lower limit position”.
8. Check the Power Receptacle.
To prevent overheating, accidental stopping or intermittent operation, confirm that the power cord
plug fits properly in the electrical receptacle and does not fall out after it is inserted. Repair or replace
the receptacle if it is faulty.
9. Confirm the tool’s power cord is not damaged.
Repair or replace the power cord if an inspection indicates that it is damaged.
AFTER CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG TO AN APPROPRIATE AC POWER SOURCE,
CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE TOOL AS FOLLOWS:
10. Trial Run
After confirming that no one is standing behind, the power tool start and confirm that no operating
abnormalities exist before attempting a cutting operation.
11. Inspect the rotating stability of the saw blade.
For precise cutting, rotate the saw blade and check for deflection to confirm that the blade is not noticeably
unstable; otherwise vibrations might occur and cause an accident.
BEFORE CUTTING
1. Cutting a groove on the guard
Holder (A) has a guard (see Fig. 8) into which a groove must be cut.
After placing a suitable wooden piece to sit on the fence and the
table surfaces, fix it with the vise assembly.
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
guard.
CAUTION: Do not cut the groove too quickly; otherwise the
guard might become damaged.
