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, adjust the blade
height with the cutting depth adjusting knob 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: (Fig. 30 & 31)
(1) Turn the adjusting screw (49) counterclockwise.
(2) Shift the front edge of the rip fence slightly to right or left until it becomes parallel with the
blade.
(3) Tighten the adjusting screw on the rip fence firmly.
CAUTION:
▪
Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with the blade, or a dangerous kickback
condition may occur.
▪
Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it does not contact the top blade guard or saw
blade. (Fig. 32)
▪
Do not relocate or carry the tool by rip fence.
▪
Raising the installed rip fence or exerting a force on it to the right and left with your hand
grabbing its top end may damage it and impair its function.

Installing and adjusting Mitre gauge (Fig. 33)
Install the Mitre gauge by inserting its shaft (51) into one of two grooves in the table from the
front. Mitre gauge fence that is also used as rip fence can be installed on the Mitre gauge
according to your work.

Dust bag (Fig 34, 35 & 36)
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach
the dust bag (55), fit it onto the dust nozzle.
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.
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be
performed.

Securing workpiece
WARNING It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece
properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do so can cause the tool to be
damaged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until
the blade has come to a complete stop.
Vertical vise (Fig. 37)
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the guide
fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence and tighten the clamping screw to
secure the vise rod. Position the vise arm (57) according to the thickness and shape of the
workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the clamping screw (16). If the screw to
secure the vise arm contacts the guide fence, install the clamping screw on the opposite side
of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle all
the way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise. Press the workpiece flat against
the guide fence and the turn table. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting position and
secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
▪
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn table and guide fence.
