figure. Then remove the workpiece material
between the grooves with a chisel.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by
•
using a wider type blade or dado blade.
Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider
blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected
cutting results and kickback which may result in
serious personal injury
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the
•
original position when performing other than
groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the
stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which
may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE:
The maximum cutting capacity in height will be
•
reduced by the same amount as the platform
thickness.
(4) Place the platform on the tool so that it
extends equally over each side of the tool
base.
Secure the platform to the tool using four 6
mm wood screws through four holes in the
lower fences.
WARNING:
Make sure that the platform is laying flat
•
against the tool base and secured firmly to the
lower fences using the four screw holes
provided. Failure to properly secure the platform
may result in movement and possible kickback
resulting in serious personal injury.
Ensure that the tool is firmly mounted to a
•
stable and flat surface. Failure to properly mount
and secure the tool could cause the tool to be
unstable resulting in a loss of control and/or the
tool falling which may result in serious personal
injury.
(5) Install both of the removed upper fences on
the tool.
WARNING:
Do not use the tool without upper fences
•
installed. The upper fences provide the adequate
support required to cut the workpiece.
If the workpiece is not supported properly it may
move resulting in possible loss of control, kickback
and serious personal injury.
