Adjusting the rip fence

WARNING.

 Always ensure that the saw is switched off 

and unplugged from the power supply before making any 

adjustments.
The rip fence allows you to make parallel cuts in a piece of 

wood, all at the same width.
1.  Adjust the rip fence to the 

required width and secure it 

in position using the rip fence 

locking handle (26).

2.  The rip fence can be 

positioned on both sides  

of the blade.

3.  Ensure that the fence rests 

against the wood along 

its entire length to give a 

consistent parallel cut.

Adjusting the mitre gauge

1.  The mitre gauge is used to help support the workpiece 

and can be adjusted when cutting an angle.

2.  To adjust the mitre gauge loosen the knob (28) at the top 

of the mitre gauge.

3. Rotate the mitre gauge until the desired angle is reached.
4. Tighten the mitre gauge knob to secure the angle.

Adjusting the bevel angle

WARNING.

 Always ensure that the saw is switched off 

and unplugged from the power supply before making any 

adjustments.
The bevel adjustment allows material to be cut at an angle 

from 0° to 45°.
1.  Loosen the table angle locking 

knob (12).

2.  A bevel adjustment scale (15) 

is located under the table to 

assist in setting the table to 

the desired angle between 0° 

and 45°.
