When bevel cutting, make sure the appropriate blade guard has been mounted before operating the saw.

Sliding Table Lock

When loading panels and when cutting using the rip fence, the sliding table should be locked.

To lock the sliding table, pull lever (Figure 24) into one of the slots in the sliding table.

Over a long period of time, if many short movements of the sliding table are made (e.g. crosscutting solid wood) then it is possible that the ball carrier between the upper and lower part of the sliding table will move. This means it will no longer be correctly positioned to allow the sliding table to slide through its full course. The operator will feel resistance in the sliding table motion and the full stroke will not be achieved. This effect can be corrected simply by pushing the table with a few short, light pushes against the buffer stop at the end, until the position of the ball carrier is adjusted and the table can be moved again along its full stroke.

Crosscut Fence

The 90-degree angle of the fence is factory set. However, should adjustment ever be needed, proceed as follows:

1.Loosen the two bolts (A, Figure 25).

2.Turn bolt (B, Figure 25) to open or close the angle of the fence in relation to the saw blade.

3.Re-tighten bolts (A, Figure 25).

Before using the first time, and each time a new blade is installed, the scales must be calibrated. Proceed as follows:

1.Put the stop (Figure 26) at a certain measure and cut off a sample.

2.Measure the exact length of the sample. Loosen the screw (Figure 26) which holds the scale and move the scale until the measurement corresponds to the length of the previously cut sample. The main part of the fence is now calibrated to the saw blade.

3.The scale on the telescopic extension of the fence should now be checked and adjusted. Move the other stop to the outermost edge of the extension fence until the edge of the stop is flush with the edge of the fence (Figure 27). Lock the stop in position by tightening the handle.

NOTE: DO NOT loosen the stop until the adjustment procedure has been completed.
