Right Angle
CAUTION
Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and
the lower guard from becoming clogged.
Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal
during bevel cutting.
6. Installation
Ensure that the machine is always fixed to bench.
Attach the power tool to a level, horizontal work bench.
Select 8 mm diameter bolts suitable in length for the
thickness of the work bench.
Bolt length should be at least 35 mm plus the thickness
of the work bench.
For example, use 8 mm × 60 mm bolts for a 25 mm
thick work bench.

ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE

CAUTION
Make all necessary adjustments before inserting the
plug in the power source.
1. Check to see that the lower guard operates smoothly

from the table and cause bodily harm.
CAUTION
Always confirm that the motor head does not contact
the vise assembly when it is lowered for cutting. If
there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 6
mm wing bolt and move the vise assembly to a
position where it will not contact the saw blade.
