Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES which are
upper and lower fences) adjustment
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make sure that the upper
and lower fences are secured firmly.
Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the
tool, especially the blade, contacts the upper and
lower fences when fully lowering and raising the
handle in any position and while moving the
carriage through its full range of travel. If the tool or
blade makes contact with the fence this may result in
kickback or unexpected movement of the material and
serious personal injury.

Before cutting operations, make a dry run with the saw
turned off and unplugged, then check clearance between
fences and moving parts.

tightening the clamping screws and upper fences by
tightening the levers.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod
into the hole in the base.
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 carriage, 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 fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage 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.
Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the
vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the quick
setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after
setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.
WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations. If the workpiece is not
properly secured against the fence the material
may move during the cutting operation causing
possible damage to the blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
