English IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Read and understand all of the safety precautions, warnings and operating instructions in the Instruction Manual before operating or maintaining this power tool. Most accidents that result from power tool operation and maintenance are caused by the failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing appropriate safety procedures.
English 9. ALWAYS USE EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING WITH THE TOOL TO PREVENT EYE INJURY. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection because the lenses are not made of safety glass. Also, use a face mask for additional safety and wear a dust mask if the cutting operation produces dust. 10. ALWAYS SECURE THE WORKPIECE TO THE FENCE OR THE TABLE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece in place. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool. 11. NEVER OVERREACH.
English 2. Always confirm that the POWER TOOL is clean before using it. 3. Always wear snug-fitting clothing, non-skid footwear (preferably with steel toes) and eye protection when operating the POWER TOOL. 4. Always handle the POWER TOOL carefully. If the POWER TOOL falls or strikes against a hard object, it might become deformed or cracked or sustain other damage. 5. Always cease operating the saw at once, if you notice any abnormality whatsoever. 6.
English 11. Never attempt to move a plugged-in POWER TOOL while your finger is on the starting switch. 12. Never use the POWER TOOL if the starting switch does not turn on and off properly. 13. Never use the POWER TOOL if the plastic housing or the handle is cracked or deformed. 14. Never use the POWER TOOL near flammable liquids or gases because sparking can cause an explosion. 15. Never clean plastic components with solvents because the plastic may dissolve. 16.
English USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
English OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE NOTE: The information contained in this Instruction Manual is designed to assist you in the safe operation and maintenance of the power tool. Some illustrations in this Instruction Manual may show details or attachments that differ from those on your own power tool.

English 2. Releasing the locking pin Handle When the power tool is prepared for shipping, its main parts are secured by a locking pin. Move the handle slightly so that the locking pin can be disengaged. NOTE: Lowering the handle slightly will enable you to disengage the locking pin more easily and safely. The lock position of the locking pin is for carrying and storage only. Pull Locking pin Fig. 6 3. Installing the dust bag, holder, stopper and vises (The holder and stopper are optional accessories.
English 7. 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. 8. Confirm the tool’s power cord is not damaged. Repair or replace the power cord if an inspection indicates that it is damaged.

English Digital display switch Laser marker switch Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser marker. A switch lights up the laser marker. (Fig. 17) Turning on the laser marker switch while the digital display swich is on, light up the laser marker. (On the C12FDH, only the laser marker switch.) 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.

English PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS WARNING: * To avoid personal injury, never remove or place a workpiece on the table while the tool is being operated. * Never place your limbs inside of the line next to warning sign while the tool is being operated. This may cause hazardous conditions (see Fig. 23). Warning sign Warning sign Line Line Fig. 23 1. Switch operation Pull the trigger to turn on the switch, release it to shut it off.
English 3. Cutting Operation Adjusting line (1) As shown in Fig. 26 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 b is desired, or to the left when length a 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.
English 5. Bevel cutting procedures Set pin Pull Tighten (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 towards the rear. (2) Adjust the bevel angle to the desired setting while watching the bevel angle scale and indicator, then secure the clamp lever. Loosen Indicator Clamp lever (for bevel scale) Indicator (for right bevel scale) Fig.

English 3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 46 and Fig. 47) The carbon brushes in the motor are expendable parts. If the carbon brushes become excessively worn, motor trouble might occur. Therefore, inspect the carbon brushes periodically and replace them when they have become worn to the wear limit line as shown in Fig. 46. Also, keep the carbon brushes clean so that they will slide smoothly within the brush holders. The carbon brushes can easily be removed after removal of the brush caps (see Fig.
English 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. 1 and Fig. 2). Use of machine oil is recommended. Oil supply points: * Rotary portion of hinge * Rotary portion of vise assembly 10. Cleaning 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.
