CAUTION

￿Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and

the lower guard from becoming clogged.

Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal during bevel cutting.

6.Installation

Ensure that the machine is always fixed to bench. Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench. Select 8 mm diameter bolts suitable in length for the thickness of the work bench.

Bolt length should be at least 35 mm plus the thickness

of the work bench.

For example, use 8 mm ⋅ 60 mm bolts for a 25 mm thick work bench.

ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE

CAUTION

Make all necessary adjustments before inserting the plug in the power source.
