CAUTION:
• Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth
of cut to its maximum elevation.
Remove the center cover and push the button inside the
hole sideways. With the button so pushed, insert the
blade guard into the blade guard mounting portion
(stay).
The spreader installing location is factory-adjusted so
that the blade and spreader will be in a straight line.
However, if they are not in a straight line, loosen the hex
bolts with hex wrench and adjust the blade guard
mounting portion (stay) so that the spreader is aligned
directly behind the blade. Then tighten the hex bolts to
secure the stay.

knob fully forward while pulling the lever.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the
blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm (5/64" - 1/8" ) from
the blade. Raise the blade up to maximum elevation.
Mark one of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the
distance (A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade.
Take both measurements using the tooth marked with
the crayon. These two measurements should be
identical. If the rip fence is not parallel with the blade,
