1. Raise the Saw Blade 2 to maximum height
and set the bevel angle to 0°.

Anti-Kickback Device.

4. Place the Rip Fence 3 on the right side and
slide it until it touches the tips of the Saw
Blade 2 - Lock fence.
5. Loosen Hex Nut 6 with 10mm open end
wrench (Fig. 28). Slightly loosen Clamping
Screws 8 (1/4–1/2 turns) using a 5mm hex
wrench 15 provided with table saw

Screw 7 using a flat screwdriver (Fig. 28).
6. Fold a small (6" x 6") piece of standard 20
lb. (75gsm) copy paper forming two lay-
ers (Fig. 27). The paper 5 is used as a
"Spacing Gauge".

based on using a standard kerf blade
(.128" kerf on the Bosch blade included).
If a smaller kerf blade is used, adjust the
paper spacer. For instance, if the kerf of
the replacement blade is near .100", use 1
thickness of paper as a spacer; if the kerf
is near .110", use 2 thicknesses.

Knife 1 and Fence 3.
