► 1. Rip fence (Guide rule) 2. Clamping screw
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in posi-
tion with the clamping screw on the front of the base. It
also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
CAUTION:
Clean out the guard to ensure
there is no accumulated sawdust and chips
which may impede the operation of the guarding
system. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper
operation which could result in serious personal
injury. The most effective way to accomplish this
cleaning is with compressed air. If the dust is being
blown out of the guard, be sure the proper eye
and breathing protection is used.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.

This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, you can adjust it as the following procedure.
1. Make sure all levers and screws are tightened.
Slightly loosen the screw illustrated.
2. While opening the lower guard, move the rear of
the base so that the distance A and B becomes equal.
3. Tighten the screws and make a test cut to check
the parallelism.
