WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control.
Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Before the cutting operation,
always be sure that a sub base is secured by the
screw.
NOTE:
For details on installation, follow the instruc-
tions provided with an optional sub base.
Install an optional sub base in the base to hold long
workpieces more securely. Loosen the screw and
extend the sub base to the appropriate length for hold-
ing the workpiece. Then tighten the screw.
