To prevent workpiece form lifting, the drop foot should be
adjusted so it just rests on the top of the workpiece. The drop
foot should not be adjusted so that the workpiece drags.

has been made.
■
Loosen the drop foot lock knob.

The tall, front part of the drop foot acts as a blade guard to
prevent accidental contact with the blade.

The sawdust blower is designed and preset to direct air to the
most effective point on the cutting line. Be sure drop foot is
properly adjusted to secure workpiece and direct air to the
cutting surface.
