SLIDING FENCE (FIG. FF)
WARNING
The sliding fences must be extended when
making any bevel cut. The sliding fences note three
bevel angles where the user must adjust the fences to
match the degree of the bevel cut. Failure to extend
the sliding fences will not allow enough space for the
blade to pass through which could result in serious
injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade
may also contact the fence.
1. Unlock the fence cam locking lever (1) by pushing it
toward the rear of the machine.
2. Extend the fence (2) by
sliding it out to match
the degree of the bevel
cut. Lock the fence
cam locking lever by
pushing it IN toward
the fence.
NOTE:
When transporting
the saw, always secure
the sliding fence in
the collapsed position
(toward the saw blade).
