SLIDING FENCE & REMOVE

SLIDING FENCE (FIG. W)

Sliding Fence

!WARNING

The sliding fence must be extended to the left when making bevel cuts. The sliding fences note three bevel angles where the user must adjust the fences to match the degree of the 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.

1.Unlock the fence cam locking lever

(1) by pushing it toward the rear of the machine.

2.Extend the fence (2) by sliding it out to match the degree of the bevel cut. Lock the fence cam locking lever by pushing it IN toward the fence.

NOTE: When transporting the saw, always secure the sliding fence in the collapsed position (toward the saw blade).
