Rip fence (Guide rule)

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate straight
cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against the side of
the workpiece and secure it in position with the screw on the
front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform
width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.

Adjusting for accuracy of 90

°°°°

 cut (vertical cut)

This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is off,
adjust the adjusting screw with a hex wrench while squaring
the blade with the base using a triangular rule, try square,
etc.

Replacing carbon brushes

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only iden-
tical carbon brushes.
