a complete stop. 

  Do not place hand or fingers close to the 

blade. 

  For your safety, remove the chips, small 

pieces, etc. from the table top before 
operation. 

  Always set SUB-FENCE to left position 

when performing left bevel cuts. Failure 
to do so may cause serious injury to 
operator. 

  To loosen the bolt, turn it clockwise. 

 

  Only for EU countries 

Do not dispose of electric equipment 
together with household waste material! 
In observance of European Directive
