SLIDING FENCE (FIG.Y)
I_WARNING
The sliding fence must be extended when making
any bevel cut, Failure to extend the sliding fence
will not allow enough space for the blade to pass
through which could result in serious injury. At
extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may
also contact the fence.
1. Unlock the fence cam locking lever (1) by pushing it
toward the rear of the machine.
2. Extend the fence (2) by sliding it out to match the
degree of the bevel cut. Lock the fence cam locking
lever by pushing it IN toward the fence. NOTE: When
transporting the saw, always secure the sliding fence
in the collapsed position (toward the saw blade).
