SETTING THE RIP FENCE SCALE
INDICATOR TO THE
bLADE (FIG. 16b)
begin with the blade at 0° angle (straight
up).
1 . Unplug the saw .
2 . Loosen the rip fence by lifting the
locking lever .
3 . Place the rip fence on the saw table so
that it lightly touches the right side of
the saw blade . Lock the rip fence in place .
4 . Loosen the screw using a Phillips
screwdriver (not included) and adjust the
indicator so that the red line is located
over the “0” line on the front rail of the
right-hand rip scale . Retighten the screw .
USING THE RIP FENCE (FIG. 17)
1 . Unplug the saw .
2 . Place the front lip of the rip fence
on the front of the saw table and push
it slightly toward the back of the unit .
3 . Lower the back end of the rip fence onto
the guide surfaces of the rear rail .
4 . Push the locking lever down to
automatically align and secure the
fence .
USING THE MITER
GAUGE (FIG. 18)
The miter gauge provides greater accuracy
in angled cuts . For very close tolerances,
test cuts are recommended . There are two
miter gauge channels, one on either side
of the blade . When making a 90° crosscut,
use either miter gauge channel . When
making a bevel crosscut (the blade tilted in
relation to the table), the miter gauge should
be located in the slot on the right so that
the blade is tilted away from the miter
gauge and away from your hands . The miter
gauge can be turned 60° to the right or left .
Positive stops at 0° and 45° can be located
with the stop pin .
1 . Loosen the locking knob and pull out
the stop pin .
2 . With the miter gauge in the miter gauge
slot, rotate the gauge until the desired
angle is reached on the scale .
