To secure the rip fence, pivot fully the lever on the fence
holder.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the
blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm (5/64"-1/8") from
the blade. Raise the blade up to maximum elevation.
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,

OPERATION

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 or miter gauge. 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. Be especially careful with bevel
cuts.
Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous
•
kickbacks may occur.
