SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER SAW with

a) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc.
Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at le mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning.

The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut.

Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on tile spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.

h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece.

Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.

i) Cut only one workpiece at a time.

Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, fi rm work surface before use.

A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable.

k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system.

Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.

I) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top.

Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.

m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support.

Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.

n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing.

Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.

p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.

This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.

q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material.

Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the miter saw.

r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece.

Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.

s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position.

The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.

This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION

• When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 rest until the next charging.
• If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, first let the battery cool, then start charging.
• When the charge indicator lamp flickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger's battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

NOTE

○ Perform cutting by overlapping the ink line with the laser line.
When the ink line and the laser line are overlapped, the strength and weakness of light will change, resulting in a stable cutting operation because you can easily discern the conformity of lines. This ensures the minimum cutting errors.
In outdoor or near-the-window operations, it may become difficult to observe the laser line due to the sunlight. Under such circumstances, move to a place that is not directly under the sunlight and engage in the operation.

Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser marker. A switch lights up the laser marker (Fig. 2, 3).

Depending upon your cutting choice, the laser line can be aligned with the left side of the cutting width (saw blade) or the ink line on the right side.

The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time of factory shipment. Adjust the positions of the saw blade and the laser line taking the following steps to suit the use of your choice.

ON OFF Vise assembly Adjuster (For laser marker) Switch (For laser marker) Move Groove Laser line

Fig. 23

(1) Light up the laser marker and make a groove of about 5 mm deep on the workpiece that is about 20 mm in height and 150 mm in width. Hold the grooved workpiece by vise as it is and do not move it. For grooving work, refer to "13. Groove cutting procedures" on page 35.
(2) Then, turn the adjuster and shift the laser line. (If you turn the adjuster clockwise, the laser line will shift to the right and if you turn it counterclockwise, the laser line will shift to the left.) When you work with the ink line aligned with the left side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the left end of the groove (Fig. 23). When you align it with the right side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the right side of the groove.
(3) After adjusting the position of the laser line, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece and align the ink line with the laser line. When aligning the ink line, slide the workpiece little by little and secure it by vise position where the laser line overlaps with the ink line. Work on the grooving again and check the position of the laser line. If you wish to change the laser line's position, make adjustments again following the steps from (1) to (3).

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 20 mm and the width of 150 mm, 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 (0.5 mm)]. (Fig. 24)

2. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)

Screw holder6 mm wing bolt Knob Vise shaft V-groove Top of the fence Fence (A), (B) 6 mm knob bolt Groove Fence surface Vise plate Workpiece

Fig. 28

The vice assembly can be attached on the right or left of the fence.

When attaching the vice assembly to the fence, matching the groove or the v-groove of the vice shaft to the upper surface of the fence will match the tip of the 6 mm knob bolt at the rear of the fence to the groove of the vice shaft.

This will allow 3 levels of height adjustment for the vice shaft.

(1) Adjust so that the tip of the 6 mm knob bolt matches the groove of the vice shaft, and tighten the 6 mm knob bolt to secure the vice shaft.
(2) Adjust the position of the screw holder, and tighten the 6 mm wing bolt on the rear of the screw holder to secure the screw holder.
(3) Make sure to press the material against the surface of the fence and secure the material by tightening the knob.

WARNING

Always fi rmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.

CAUTION

Always confirm that the motor head does not contact the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, move the vise assembly to a position where it will not contact the saw blade.

3. Cutting Operation

Saw blade Marking (pre-marked) Marking (pre-marked)

Fig. 29

(1) As shown in Fig. 29 the width of the saw blade is the width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the right (viewed from the operator's position) when length ⓑ is desired, or to the left when length is desired.
If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the laser line.
(2) Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push the handle down carefully until the saw blade approaches the workpiece.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece to return it to the full retract position.

CAUTION

• For maximum dimensions for cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table on page 14.
• Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.

On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.

WARNING

- Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the battery has been removed whenever the tool is not in use.

● Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
● Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is finished, turn the trigger 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 (from the top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
- Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the motor. Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting operation at once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then restart your cutting operation.

(b) Lower the head and with the cutting edge of the sawblade in a position that lightly comes into contact with the workpiece, turn the 6 mm depth adjustment bolt so that the tip of the 6 mm bolt bumps against the spacer (D). (Fig. 34-b)

6 mm depth adjustment bolt

Fig. 34-b

(c) When you slide cut after returning spacer (D) to the rear, there will be a groove of about 2 mm. This will reduce scuffi ng of the workpiece's upper surface. (Fig. 34-c)

Spacer (D) 5

Fig. 34-c

(d) By moving the stopper holder forward and slide cutting once again, you can cut the workpiece.

CAUTION

- When cutting a workpiece of 67 mm 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 3 mm at the lower limit position. Refer to "5. Cutting large workpieces" on page 28.

- If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the saw blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the quality of the cut.

Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.

- In slide cutting, gently push the half (rearwards) in a single, smooth operation.

Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece.

WARNING

● For slide cutting, follow the procedures.
Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous because the saw blade could kick upward from the workpiece. Therefore, always slide the handle away from the operator.
● Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of injury.
● Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation because the saw blade comes close to the miter lock handle when the motor head is lowered.

7. Miter cutting procedures

Miter scale indicator (For degrees scale) Miter scale (Degrees scale) Turntable Side handle Lever Miter scale (Gradient scale) Miter scale indicator (For gradient scale)

Fig. 35

(1) Loosen the side handle and pull up the lever for angle stoppers. Then, adjust the turntable until the indicator aligns with desired setting on the miter scale (Fig. 35).
(2) Re-tighten the side handle to secure the turntable in the desired position.
(3) The miter scale indicates both the cutting angle on the angle scale and the gradient on the grade scale.
(4) The gradient, which is the ratio of the height to the base of the triangular section to be removed, may be used for setting the miter scale instead of the cutting angle, if desired.

Therefore, to cut a workpiece at a grade of 2/10, set the indicator to position.

NOTE

Positive stops are provided at the right and left of the 0^ center setting, at 15^ , 22.5^ , 30^ and 45^ settings.

Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned.

Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.

1. Bevel cutting procedures (Fig. 36)

Clamp lever Holder (A) Set pin (A) Indicator (For left bevel scale)

Fig. 36

(1) Loosen the clamp lever and bevel the saw blade to the left or to the right. When tilting the motor head to the right pull the set pin (A) towards the rear.

The clamp lever adopts a latchet system. When contacting the work bench and the main body, pull the clamp lever in the direction of the arrow mark as illustrated in Fig. 36, and change the direction of the clamp lever.

(2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever.

WARNING

When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade, the short cut-off portion will come to rest on the right or left side of saw blade. Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.

If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.

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.

CAUTION

When cutting a workpiece of 45 mm height in the left 45° bevel cutting position or a workpiece of 22 mm height in the right 45° bevel cutting position, 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 3 mm at the lower limit position (refer to "5. Cutting large workpieces" on page 28).

1. Bevel angle fine adjustment

Right bevel angle Left bevel angle Handle

(1) Grip the handle on the motor head and position it at the bevel angle you need. Temporarily tighten the clamp lever.

CAUTION

If not tightened firmly enough the motor head might suddenly move or slip, causing injuries. Be sure to tighten the motor head section enough so it will not move.

(2) Make fine adjustments to the bevel angle by gripping the handle and moving the knob.

NOTE

○ Turning knob clockwise, allows fine adjustment of the main unit to the left (as seen from front).

○ Turning knob counterclockwise, allows fine adjustment of the main unit to the right (as seen from front).

(3) After adjusting to the desired angle, tighten the clamp lever and clamp the motor head.

CAUTION

Always check that the clamp lever is secured and the motor head is clamped. If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the motor head, then the motor head might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.

1. Compound cutting procedures

Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 7 to 8 above. For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table on page 14.

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.

In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by left bevel, slide the sub-fence (B) outward, and engage in the cutting operation.

In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by right bevel, remove the sub-fence (A), and engage in the cutting operation.

1. Cutting long materials

When cutting long materials, use an auxiliary platform which is the same height as the holder and base of the special auxiliary equipment.

1. Crown molding cutting procedures

Report to qualified person as soon as possible, if you discover the fault of machine including guards or blade saw.

1. Inspecting the saw blade

Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the first sign of deterioration or damage.

A damaged saw blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineffective operation and possible overload to the motor.

CAUTION

Never use a dull saw blade. When a saw blade is dull, its resistance to the hand pressure applied by the tool handle tends to increase, making it unsafe to operate the power tool.

1. About Handling the Motor (see Fig. 2)

Winding of the motor is said to be the heart of this tool. Exercise utmost caution not to damage the winding by exposing it to wash oil or water.

NOTE

Accumulation of dust and the like inside the motor can result in a malfunction.

After using the motor for 50 hours or so, carry out no-load running, and blow in the dry air from a wind hole at the motor's rear. Such action is effective to discharge dust and the like.

1. Inspecting the screws

Regularly inspect each component of the power tool for looseness.

Re-tighten screws on any loose part.

WARNING

To prevent personal injury, never operate the power tool if any components are loose.

1. Inspecting the lower guard for proper operation

Before each use of the tool, test the lower guard (see Fig. 15) to assure that it is in good condition and that it moves smoothly.

Never use the tool unless the lower guard operates properly and it is in good mechanical condition.

1. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery or AC/DC adapter)

Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not collected on the terminals.

On occasion check prior, during and after operation.

CAUTION

Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected on the terminals.

Failure to do so may result in malfunction.

1. Disposal of the exhausted battery

WARNING

Do not dispose of the exhausted battery. The battery must explode if it is incinerated. The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of it's useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste offi cials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

7. Storage

After operation of the tool has been completed, check that the following has been performed:

(1) Trigger switch is in OFF position,

(2) Pull out the battery or AC/DC adapter from the tool.

When the tool is not in use, storing in a place below 104^ F ( 40^ C) and out of the reach of children.

NOTE

Storing lithium-ion batteries

Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them.

Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with a low charge may result in performance deterioration, significantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge.

However, significantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to five times.

If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.

1. Replacement of guard

After long-term use, the blade slot in the guard may widen and require replacement. If the blade slot should widen, replace the guard with a new one (Fig. 21). After replacing, make a groove on it.

9. Lubrication

Lubricate the following sliding surfaces once a month to keep the power tool in good operating condition for a long time (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 3). Use of machine oil is recommended.

Oil supply points:

○ Rotary portion of hinge
○ Rotary portion of vise assembly
○ Rotary portion of holder (A)

10. Cleaning

Duct Air gun Lower guard

Fig. 59

Clean the machine, duct and lower guard by blowing with dry air from an air gun or other tool. (Fig. 59)

Periodically remove chips, dust and other waste material from the surface of the power tool, especially from the inside of the lower guard with a damp, soapy cloth. To avoid a malfunction of the motor, protect it from contact with oil or water.

If the laser line becomes invisible due to chips and the like adhered onto the window of the laser marker's light-emitting section, wipe and clean the window with a dry cloth or a soft cloth moistened with soapy water, etc.
