Guide fence Hex bolt

fence and tighten the clamp screw to

 

secure the carriage. Loosen the grip

 

which secures the turn base. Turn the

 

turn base so that the pointer points to 0"

 

on the miter scale. Then turn the turn

 

base slightly clockwise and counter-

 

clockwise to seat the turn base cozily in

 

the 0" miter notch. (Leave as it is if the

three hex bolts securing the guide fence

 

using the socket wrench.

 

Lower the handle fully and lock it in the

 

lowered position by pushing in the lock

 

pin. Square the side of the blade with

 

the face of the guide fence using a

 

triangular rule, try square, etc. Then

 

securely tighten the hex bolts on the
