8.10 Fence
The supplied fence can be attached to all four
sides of the machine as shown in fig. 3.
The fence can be adjusted in the following ways:
The fence can be used as a rip fence (fig. 1) or
as a cross-cutting fence or angle-cutting fence
(fig. 3).
Rip fence:
f
Loosen the screw
[3-3]
and lift the fixing pin
[3-4] , adjust the angle to 0° with the help of
the scale, lock the fixing pin again and tighten
the screw [3-3] .
f
Loosen the screw [3-2] and adjust the rail
[3-1]
so that the triangular arrow is within the
green sticker, see details [1-13]. Then tighten
the screw
[3-2]
.
f
Push the preset profile setting rail into the
groove on the side of the table (fig. 3 detail).
Slide it until the preset profile setting rail’s
handle covers the green marked area on the
side of the table, see detail
[1-5]
. Then tighten
the screw
[3-5]
.
f
Loosen the screw [3-6] , set the desired cut-
ting width and retighten the screw.
The preset profile setting rail can be used as a
high or low rip fence. For this adjust the rail [3-1]
upright or flat.
The low rip fence is used to avoid collision with
the saw blade guard, e.g. for mitre cuts with a saw
blade swivelled by 45°.
Cross-cutting fence and angle-cutting fence:
f
Slide the preset profile setting rail into the
groove in the table and retighten the screw
[3-5]
.
f
Loosen the screw [3-3] and lift the fixing pin
[3-4]
, adjust to the desired angle on the scale
(the fixing pin will click into place in the most
common angle settings) and then retighten
the screw
[3-3]
.
f
Loosen the screw
[3-2]
and adjust the rail
[3-1] so that it does not reach into the cutting
plane and then tighten the screw
