For LW1401
NOTICE:
When performing right miter cut,
always set the guide plate at 0 - 170 mm (0"-
6-11/16") position. Setting at the 35 - 205 mm
(1-3/8"- 8-1/16") or 70 - 240 mm (2-3/4"- 9-7/16")
position hinders the movement of stopper plate,
which results in a failure cut.
Loosen the two hex bolts using a socket wrench. Turn
the guide plate to the desired angle and secure it with
the hex bolts. Be careful not to move the set angle while
securing the hex bolts.

NOTE: The scale on the guide plate is only a rough
indication. For more accurate angle, use a protractor
or triangle ruler. Keep the handle down so that the
cut-off wheel extends into the base. At the same time,
adjust the angle between the guide plate and the cut-
off wheel with a protractor or triangle ruler.

► 1. Stopper plate
The stopper plate prevents the cut-off wheel from
contacting the workbench or floor. When a new cut-off
wheel is installed, set the stopper plate to position (A).
When the cut-off wheel wears down to the extent that
the lower portion of the workpiece is left uncut, set the
stopper plate to position (B) to allow increased cutting
capacity with a worn down wheel.
