ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR TOOL ENB088-4
FOR BOTH MITER SAW MODE AND TABLE SAW
(BENCH SAW) MODE
1. Wear eye and hearing protection. Other suitable
personal protective equipment should be worn.
2. NEVER wear gloves during operation except for
replacing saw blades or handling rough material
before operation.
3. Keep the floor area around the tool level well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips
and cut-offs.
4. Do not operate saw without guards and riving
knife in place. Check blade guards for proper
closing before each use. Do not operate saw if
blade guards do not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guards into
the open position. Any irregular operation of the
blade guards should be corrected immediately.
5. Clean and be careful not to damage the spindle,
flanges (especially the installing surface) and hex
bolt before or when installing the blade. Damage
to these parts could result in blade breakage. Poor
installation may cause vibration/wobbling or
slippage of the blade. Use only flanges specified
for this tool.
6. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Do not use saw blade which are
damaged or deformed.
7. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer and which conform to EN847-1, and
observe that the riving knife must not be thicker
than the width of the cut by the saw blade and not
thinner than the body of the blade.
8. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.
9. Select the correct saw blade for the material to be
cut.
10. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
11. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
12. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the
maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
13. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and screws.
Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and other
foreign material from the workpiece before
operation.
14. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
15. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
16. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the work area and table top before
plugging the tool and starting operation.
17. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the tool.
18. Keep hands and make your bystander and
yourself position out of path of and not in line with
saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting blade.
It can still cause severe injury and never reach
around saw blade.
19. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Do not be lulled into a
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.
20. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it
run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
23. The tool should not be used for slotting,
rabbetting or grooving.
24. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts
of the workpiece from the cutting area whilst the
tool is running and the saw head is not in the rest
position.
25. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything
abnormal.
26. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings.
27. Unplug tool before changing blade, servicing or
not in use.
28.Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
-lead from lead-based-painted material and,
-arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
29. Connect the tool to a dust collecting device when
sawing.
30. When fitted with laser, no exchange with different
type of laser is permitted. Repairs shall only be
carried out correctly.
31. Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The
following hazards may arise in connection with
the tool’s construction and design:
-Damage to health resulting from hand-arm
vibrations if the power tool is used over a

13
longer period of time and is not operated or
serviced correctly.
-Injury or damage caused by loose tool
attachments which can unexpectedly slide out/
from the power tool due to sudden damage,
wear or improper mounting.
WHEN USING IN MITER SAW MODE:
32. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
33. Do not perform operation freehand when cutting
workpiece in an area close to saw blade. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence during all operations.
34. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
35. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed when
beveling. Tighten the lever clockwise to fix the
arm.
36. Make sure the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position and is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
37. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
38. Replace the kerf board when worn.
WHEN USING IN THE TABLE SAW (BENCH SAW)
MODE:
39. Do not perform any operation freehand. Freehand
means using your hands to support or guide the
workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence.
40. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed in the
working position. Tighten the lever clockwise to
fix the arm.
41. Use a push stick or a push block to avoid working
with the hands and fingers close to the saw blade.
42. Make sure that the bench saw table is securely
fixed at the chosen height.
43. Make sure the blade is not contacting the riving
knife or workpiece before the switch is turned on.
44. Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
45. Pay particular attention to instructions for
reducing 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 operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL 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.
46. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Keep the floor area around the tool level well maintained
and free of loose materials such as chips and cut-offs.
Installing auxiliary plate (Fig. 1 & 2)
Always install the auxiliary plate using the notch in the
tool’s base and secure it by tightening the hex bolt before
operation.
Bench mounting
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
(Fig. 3)
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)
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 and B does
not open unless the lever near the handle is pushed at
the topmost position of the handle.
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 handle
is raised. The top blade guard falls flat on the top 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.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
each blade guard in good condition. Any irregular
operation 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. DOING SO IS
HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
If any of these see-through blade guards becomes dirty,
or sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no
longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guards
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any
petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the lower blade guard A is especially dirty and vision
through the guard is impaired, proceed as follows. Fix the
top table at the fully elevated position, raise the handle
fully, push in fully the stopper pin with the handle fully
raised, and use the supplied socket wrench to loosen the
hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by

14
turning it counterclockwise and raise the lower blade
guard A and center cover while pushing the lever to the
left. With the lower blade guard A so positioned, cleaning
can be more completely and efficiently accomplished.
When cleaning is complete, reverse procedure above and
secure bolt.
In the same case for the top blade guard as above stated,
loosen the screw holding it with a screwdriver and remove
the top blade guard. After cleaning, always reinstall it
securely by tightening the screw to the extent that the top
blade guard moves smoothly up or down.
If any of these blade guards becomes discolored through
age or UV light exposure, contact a Makita service center
for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE
GUARDS. (Fig. 5)
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
(Fig. 6 & 7)
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 260 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
CAUTION:
• When making this adjustment, position the top table at
the lowest position after unplugging the tool.
First, unplug the tool. Position the top table at the lowest
position. Lower the handle completely. Use the socket
wrench to turn the adjusting bolt that you can find below in
the biggest hole in the top table, until the periphery of the
blade extends slightly below the top surface of the turn
base at the point where the front face of the guide fence
meets the top surface of the turn base.
With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Re-
adjust slightly, if necessary.
CAUTION:
• After installing a new blade, always be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base when
the handle is lowered completely. Always do this with
the tool unplugged.
Adjusting the miter angle (Fig. 8)
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the turn
base while pressing down the lock lever. When you have
moved the grip to the position where the pointer points to
the desired angle on the miter scale, securely tighten the
grip clockwise.
CAUTION:
• When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
• After changing the miter angle, always secure the turn
base by tightening the grip firmly.
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 9 & 10)
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of
the tool counterclockwise.
Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the
pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale.
Then tighten the lever clockwise firmly to secure the arm.
CAUTION:
• When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
• After changing the bevel angle, always secure the arm
by tightening the lever clockwise.

Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle, use the socket
wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the
hex bolt, outer flange and blade. (Fig. 17)
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface
of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then
use the socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.
(Fig. 18 & 19)
NOTE:
• When installing a saw blade, be sure to insert it from
the outside of the blade guard B at first and then raise it
so that the blade is finally placed in the blade guard B.
For all countries other than European countries
(Fig. 20)
CAUTION:
• The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is factory-
installed onto the spindle. The black ring 25 mm in
outer diameter is included as standard equipment.
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always be
sure that the correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade
you intend to use is installed onto the spindle.
For European countries
CAUTION:
• The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed
between the inner and outer flanges.
Return the lower blade guard A and center cover to its
original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Raise the blade guard B as far as
it will go and tighten the clamping screw firmly while
holding it in the raised position. Lower the handle to make
sure that the lower blade guards move properly. Make
sure shaft lock has released spindle before making cut.
Adjusting riving knife (Fig. 21)
Before adjusting the riving knife, loosen the two levers by
turning counterclockwise and press the top table on the
right side nearby the riving knife to its lowered position.
Then secure the top table by firmly re-tightening the two
levers as shown in the figure.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm between the
riving knife and the blade teeth. Adjust the riving knife
accordingly by loosening two hex bolts counterclockwise
with the hex socket wrench and measuring the distance.
Tighten the hex bolts securely, and then check to see that
the top blade guard works smoothly before cutting.
(Fig. 22)
The riving knife has been installed before shipment from
the factory so that the blade and riving knife are in a
straight line. (Fig. 23)
CAUTION:
• If the blade and riving knife are not aligned properly, a
dangerous pinching condition may result during
operation. Make sure the riving knife is positioned
between both outer ends of the blade teeth when
viewing from the top. You could suffer serious personal
injury while using the tool without a properly aligned
riving knife. If they are not aligned for any reasons,
always have Makita authorized service center repair it.
Installing and adjusting rip fence (Fig. 24)
1. Install the rip fence on the table so that the rip fence
holder engages with the guide rail. Tighten the
clamping screw (B) of the rip fence firmly clockwise.
2. Loosen the clamping screw (A).
3. Slide the rip fence and secure it so that the far end
from you of the rip fence is aligned with the point at
which the front edge of saw blade just appears from
top surface of the workpiece. The purpose of this
adjustment is to reduce risk of kick-back toward
operator that cut piece from the workpiece is pinched
between the saw blade and rip fence and finally
pushed out toward operator. The line 3 varies by
thickness of workpiece or the table level. Adjust the
position of the rip fence according to the thickness of
the workpiece.
After adjusting the rip fence, tighten the clamping
screw (A) firmly. (Fig. 25)
NOTE:
• There are four patterns to position the rip fence as
shown in the figure. Rip fence has two slits on its sides,
one slit with an elevated fringe nearby on the same
side and the other without it. Use the surface of rip
fence with this fringe facing the workpiece only when
cutting off into a piece of a thin workpiece. (Fig. 26)
NOTE:
• To change the rip fence pattern, remove the rip fence
from the rip fence holder by loosening the clamping
screw (A) and change the facing of the rip fence to the
rip fence holder so that the rip fence faces the rip fence
holder according to your work as shown in the figure.
Insert the square nut on the rip fence holder into the
back end of either slit of the rip fence so that they fit as
shown in the figure.
To change from the pattern A or B to the pattern C or D,
or in adverse case, remove the square nut, washer and
clamping screw (A) from the rip fence holder, then
position the clamping screw (A), washer and square
nut on the opposite position of the rip fence holder
compared to the original position. Tighten the clamping
screw (A) securely after inserting the square nut of the
rip fence holder into the rip fence slit.
Insert the square nut on the rip fence holder into the
back end of either slit of the rip fence so that they fit as
shown in the figure. (Fig. 27)
The rip fence is factory adjusted so that it is parallel to the
blade surface. Make sure that it is parallel. To check to be
sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade. Lower the
table to the lowest position so that the blade appears at
the topmost position from the table. Mark one of the blade
teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A) and (B)
between the rip fence and blade. Take both
measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon.
These two measurements should be identical If the rip
fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:
(Fig. 28)
(1) Turn two adjusting screws counterclockwise.
(Fig. 29 & 30)
(2) Shift the back edge of the rip fence slightly to right
or left until it becomes parallel with the blade.
(3) Tighten the two screws on the rip fence firmly.

16
CAUTION:
• Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with
the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may
occur.
• Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it does not
contact the top blade guard or saw blade.
Dust bag (Fig. 31)
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust nozzle.
NOTE:
• In miter saw mode, always insert the dust bag to the
back nozzle only.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag
of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles
adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection. (Fig. 32)
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more
efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
(Fig. 33)
To install the blade cover when using in the table saw
mode (bench mode), turn the turn base to 0° miter angle
(see the section titled “Adjusting the miter angle”) and
place the blade cover on the turn table so that the blade
cover is centered over the slit for the blade entrance in the
turn table and then lock the handle in the lowest position
by fully pushing in the stopper pin as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
• To attach the dust bag to the front dust nozzle in the
table saw mode (bench mode), first remove the cap
from the front dust nozzle and then attach the dust bag
to the dust nozzle.
• When not in use of dust bag, always replace the cap to
the front dust nozzle. Failure to do so result in dust
scattering from the nozzle.
• When using the tool in the table saw mode (bench
mode), make sure that the blade cover is installed on
the turn table.
Securing workpiece
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece with the
optional vise. If you must use your hand to hold the
workpiece, then it must be done firmly and securely so as
not to lose control of the workpiece. Your hand and arm
must be kept well away from the blade area (100 mm
minimum). Squeeze the workpiece firmly against the
guide fence with your fingers held over the top of the
guide fence. The workpiece must also rest steadily on the
turn base.
WARNING:
• Never use your hand to hold the workpiece that
requires your hand to be any closer than 100 mm from
the blade area. In this case, always use the optional
vise to secure the workpiece. After any cutting
operation, raise the blade gently. Never raise the blade
until it has come to a complete stop. Serious injury may
result.
CAUTION:
• When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as
high as the top surface level of the turn base. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise
(both optional) to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its
entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK. (Fig. 34)
Vertical vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 35)
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either
the left or right side of the guide fence or the holder
assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into the
hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten
the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the way. If
some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
(Fig. 36)
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 15° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite
the direction in which the turn base is to be turned. By
turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is
released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and
out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise
knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its
topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob is
forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the
projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise
knob back counterclockwise until the screw is released,
before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 130 mm.
Holders and holder assembly (optional
accessories) (Fig. 37)
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on
either side as a convenient means of supporting
workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the
figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12. (Fig. 38)
CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the top
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.

17
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece,
etc. before the switch is turned on.
CUTTING AS MITER SAW
WARNING:
• When using the tool in the miter saw mode, secure the
top table at the topmost position so that the saw blade
never protrudes from the top surface of the top table.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when
cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down
handle with only as much force as is necessary for
smooth cutting and without significant decrease in
blade speed.
• Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the
handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is
applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw
mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
1. Press cutting (Fig. 39)
Secure the workpiece against guide fence and turn
table. Switch on the tool without the blade making
any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed
before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to the
fully lowered position to cut the workpiece. When the
cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL
THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
before returning the blade to its fully elevated
position.
2. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter
angle”.
3. Bevel cut (Fig. 40)
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the
bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered
“Adjusting the bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the
lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely.
Secure the workpiece against guide fence and turn
table. Switch on the tool without the blade making
any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered
position while applying pressure in parallel with the
blade. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool
and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its
fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel
direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of
saw blade.
• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby
the piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the
blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still
rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade,
causing fragments to be scattered which is dangerous.
The blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has
come to a complete stop.
• When pressing the handle down, apply pressure
parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the
blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might be
shifted and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
4. Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter
angle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting
can be performed at angle shown in the table.
006366
When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press
cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.
5. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 41)
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer
blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to
prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting
lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion to
prevent build-up of the aluminum material on the
blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come
loose during operation and round aluminum extrusions
cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
• Never cut aluminum in the table saw mode (bench
mode).
6. Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide
fence using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a
suggested wood facing. (Fig. 42)
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
facing.
• Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide
fence. The screws should be installed so that the screw
heads are below the surface of the wood facing.
• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn
base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the
wood facing will be damaged.
7. Cutting repetitive lengths (Fig. 43)
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 240 mm to 400 mm, use of the
set plate will facilitate more efficient operation. Install
the set plate on the holder as shown in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either
the left or right side of the groove in the kerf board,
and while holding the workpiece from moving, move
the set plate flush against the end of the workpiece.
Then secure the set plate with the screw. When the
set plate is not used, loosen the screw and turn the
set plate out of the way.
Bevel angle Miter angle
45° Left and Right 0 - 45°

18
NOTE:
• Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory)
allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm
approximately.
CUTTING AS TABLE SAW (BENCH MODE)
CAUTION:
• When using the tool in the table saw mode (bench
mode), place the blade cover on the turn table so that
the blade cover is centered over the slit for the blade
entrance in the turn table and two small bosses on the
underside of the blade cover fit into the semi-circular
slit in the periphery of the turn table as shown in the
figure and then lock the handle in the lowest position by
fully pushing in the stopper pin. (Fig. 44)
CAUTION:
• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and
push blocks when there is a danger that your hands or
fingers will come close to the blade.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and the
rip fence. Do not bend or twist it while feeding. If the
workpiece is bent or twisted, dangerous kickbacks may
occur.
• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is
running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before
completing a cut, first switch the tool off while holding
the workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a
complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece.
Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.
• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is
running.
• NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of the
saw blade.
• Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous
kickbacks may occur.
• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and
push blocks when cutting small or narrow workpieces.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
“work helpers”. Use them to make safe, sure cuts without
the need for the operator to contact the blade with any
part of the body.
Push block (Fig. 45)
Use a 15 mm piece of plywood.
Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fasten with
glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 10 mm x
9 mm x 30 mm of wood must always be glued to plywood
to keep the blade from dulling if the operator cuts into
push block by mistake.
(Never use nails in push block.)
Auxiliary fence (Fig. 46 & 47)
Make auxiliary fence from 10 mm and 15 mm plywood
pieces.
Remove the rip fence, clamping screw (A), flat washer
and square nut from the rip fence holder and then attach
and secure the auxiliary fence to the rip fence holder by
using a bolt M6 longer than M6 x 50, washers and nut.
Ripping
CAUTION:
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide
adequate support behind the table. DO NOT allow a
long board to move or shift on the table. This will cause
the blade to bind and increase the possibility of
kickback and personal injury. The support should be at
the same height as the table.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the thickness
of the workpiece. To make this adjustment, loosen two
levers and lower or raise the top table.
2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and
secure in place by tightening the clamping screw (A).
Before ripping, make sure the two screws of the rip
fence holder are secured. If it is not secured enough,
retighten it.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into the
blade along with the rip fence.
(1) When the width of rip is 40 mm or wider, use a
push stick. (Fig. 48)
(2) When the width of rip is narrower than 40 mm,
the push stick cannot be used because the push
stick will strike the top blade guard. Use the
auxiliary fence and push block.
Install securely the auxiliary fence which is
secured to the rip fence holder on the table.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is
about 25 mm from the front edge of the top table.
Continue to feed using the push block on the top
of the auxiliary fence until the cut is complete.
(Fig. 49)
Carrying tool (Fig. 50)
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at left miter angle fully.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by fully pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily. (Fig. 51)
CAUTION:
• Always secure all moving portions before carrying the
tool.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the
best and safest performance.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:

19
1. Miter angle (Fig. 52)
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn
the turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the
miter scale. Tighten the grip and loosen the hex bolts
securing the guide fence using the socket wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the
side of the blade with the face of the guide fence
using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then securely
tighten the hex bolts on the guide fence in the order
from the right side. (Fig. 53)
2. Bevel angle (Fig. 54)
(1) 0° bevel angle
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the
lever at the rear of the tool.
Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt on the right
side of the turn base two or three revolutions
clockwise to tilt the blade to the right.
Carefully square the side of the blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule,
try-square, etc. by turning the 0° bevel angle
adjusting bolt counterclockwise. (Fig. 55)
Make sure that the pointer on the turn base point
to 0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If it does not
point to 0°, loosen the screw which secures the
pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will point
to 0°. (Fig. 56)
(2) 45° bevel angle (Fig. 57)
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing
0° bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45°
bevel angle, loosen the lever and tilt the blade to
the left fully. Make sure that the pointer on the
arm points to 45° on the bevel scale on the arm. If
the pointer does not point to 45°, turn the 45°
bevel angle adjusting bolt on the left side of the
arm until the pointer points to 45°.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 58)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 59)
After use
• After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool
with a cloth or the like. Keep the blade guards clean
according to the directions in the previously covered
