SLIDING FENCE (FIG. 32)

The sliding fence must be extended when making

any bevel cut. Failure to extend the sliding fence

will not allow enough space for the blade to pass

through, which could result in serious injury. At

extreme miter or bevel angles, the saw blade may

also contact the fence.

ŏ Loosen the fence locking knob (1) by turning it

counterclockwise, then slide the fence (2) out.

ŏ Tighten the fence locking knob (1).

NOTE: When transporting the saw, always

secure the sliding fence in the inward position

and locked.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW

ŏ Never leave tool running unattended. Turn

power OFF. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

ŏ Make workshop childproof. Lock the shop.

Disconnect master switches. Store tool away

To avoid injury from materials being thrown, always

unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting and

remove small pieces of material from the table

cavity.

MITER CUT (FIG. 33)

ŏ When a miter cut is required, unlock the miter

table by lifting up the miter lock handle (1).

ŏ While holding the miter handle, press down on

the positive stop locking button (2).

ŏ Rotate the miter table to the right or left with the

miter handle.

ŏ When the table is in the desired position, as

shown on the miter scale (3), release the

positive stop locking button and pressing down

the miter handle to tighten the miter table.

The table is now locked at the desired angle.

Positive stops are provided at 0°, 15°, 22.5°,

31.6°, 45° left and right and 60° right.

ŏ Turn the laser guide on and position the

workpiece on the table for pre-alignment of

your cut.

IMPORTANT: Always tighten the miter handle

before performing a cut.
