FOR BEVEL CUTS

Raise the lock lever for bevel cuts to release it, then swing the blade with the elevating knob until it reaches the desired angle from zero to 45 degrees. The bevel is indicated by the arrow pointer. After the desired angle setting is reached, then lock

the lock lever by pressing down firmly to secure in place.

WARNING: The lock lever must be se- cured very firmly or opera- tion can be very dangerous.

STOPPER ADJUSTMENT

Loosen the stopper hex socket head bolt and align the arrow pointer to zero and 45 degrees. Then slide the stopper and secure the stopper in place carefully with the hex socket head bolt.

RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the rip fence whenever it moves only with difficulty, sticks, or is too loose. Leave the ruler-attaching hex bolt and underplate hex bolt in the semi-secured condition. Then install the rip fence on table and secure lock knob when the rip fence is parallel with the blade. Now secure the ruler-attaching hex bolt carefully.
