Table inserts are installed on the turntable. When shipping the tool from the factory,
the table inserts are so fixed that the saw blade does not contact them. The burr of the
bottom surface of the workpiece is remarkably reduced, if the table insert is fixed so
that the gap between the side surface of the table insert and the saw blade will be
minimum. Before using the tool, eliminate this gap in accordance with the following
procedure.
(1) Right angle cutting
Loosen the three 6mm machine screws, then secure the left side table insert and
temporarily tighten the 6mm machine screws of both ends. Then fix a workpiece
(about 200mm (7-7/8") wide) with the vise assembly and cut it off. After aligning
the cutting surface with the edge of the table insert, securely tighten the 6mm
machine screws of both ends. Remove the workpiece and securely tighten the 6mm
center machine screw. Adjust the right hand table insert in the same way.

(2) Left and right bevel angle cutting

Adjust the table insert in the manner shown in Fig. 9-b and Fig. 9-c following the
same procedure for right angle cutting.

Holder (A) has a guard (see Fig. 8) into which a
groove must be cut.
Loosen the 6mm knob bolt to retract the guard
slightly. After placing a suitable wooden piece to
sit on the fence and the table surfaces, fix it with
the vise assembly.
After the switch has been turned on and the saw
blade has reached maximum speed, slowly lower
the handle to cut a groove on the guard (c).
