Parallel Edge Guide
A parallel guide (for help when rip cutting) can be
tted to the sole plate of the machine The guides
arms should be inserted into the rectangular slots in
the turned up edges of the sole plate, and slid under
the locking thumb screws. (Fig. 5)
Note: The edge guide can be tted to either side
of the sole plate and should only be tted and
adjusted with the machine disconnected from the
power supply.
Adjust the edge guide so that it is at the required
distance from the blade and tighten the two thumb
screws. Check that the edge guide is parallel to the
saw blade.
Adjustment of the Cutting Depth
Release the Lever Lock to adjust to the required cutting
depth. In most cases depth should be set at maximum
unless there are obstructions below the work surface.
Tighten the Lever Lock securely to lock in the required
position.
