the work.
6. When cutting on a bevel angle ensure that the rip fence
is located on the right hand side of the blade.

Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
