4. Performance checkup and maintenance of lower
guard
Keep the lower guard in good shape for smooth
performance at all times. Be sure to make prompt
repair in case of any malfunction.
5. Adjusting the base and saw blade to maintain
perpendicularity
The angle between the base and the saw blade has
been adjusted to 90°, however should this
perpendicularity be lost for some reason, adjust in
the following manner:
(1) Turn the base face up (Fig. 26) and loosen the wing-
bolt.
(2) Apply a square to the base and the saw blade and
turning the slotted set screw with a slotted-head
screwdriver, shift the position of the base to produce
the desired right angle.
6. Check for dust
Dust may be removed with a clean rag or a cloth
dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for
they may damage the plastics.
7. Storage
Storing in a place below 40°C and out of the reach
of children.
