The rip fence is factory adjusted so that it is parallel to
the blade surface. Make sure that it is parallel. To check
to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade.
Lower the table to the lowest position so that the blade
appears at the topmost position from the table. Mark one
of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance
(A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both
measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon.
These two measurements should be identical If the rip
fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it
onto the dust nozzle.
NOTE:
•
In miter saw mode, always insert the dust bag to
the back nozzle only.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from
the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its
contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles adhering to
the insides which might hamper further collection.
