A parallel guide (for help when rip cutting) can be fitted to the
sole plate of the machine. The guide arm should be inserted
into the rectangular slots found at the front of the sole plate,
and slid under the locking thumb screw.

The parallel edge guide can be fitted to either side of
the sole plate and should only be fitted and adjusted with the
machine disconnected from the power supply.
• Adjust the parallel edge guide so that it is at the required
distance from the blade and tighten the thumb screw. Check
that the parallel edge guide is parallel to the saw blade.
adjustment of the cutting Depth
• Loosen the Depth Adjustment Locking Screw (Fig. 5)

• A scale can be found on the depth bracket and an index mark
is incorporated into the machines upper guard to aid setting.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible
below the workpiece.
Note:
Always check to see if there are any obstructions
below the work surface that could influence the setting
of the cutting depth.
• Tighten the Depth Adjustment Screw securely to lock in the
required position.
