2.Extend sliding base extensions to the desired position.

3.Press the levers down to clamp the extensions into place.

Base Extensions:

•If desired, the height of the top of the base exten- sions can be adjusted slightly by increasing the dis- tance between the extension and the main part of the base.

•If the clamping force of the Base Extension Clamping Levers needs to be adjusted, simply pull the red tab outward and rotate it toward the center of the saw. Let the red tab spring back into a new groove. When the red tabs are rotated down to clamp the rods, they will grip the rods with greater strength.

Sliding Fence:

1.Loosen the fence locking knobs (behind fence).

2.Slide fence to proper position.

3.Tighten knobs to lock fence into place.

2.Slide fence to its furthest inward position.

3.Lift fence to remove.

4.Tighten knob

After the cut is complete, reinstall the sliding fence.

To reinstall the sliding fence, reverse this procedure.
