nOTE: When ripping, always lock the rail lock lever.
Work Support Extension /Narrow Ripping Fence
Your table saw is equipped with a work support extension to
support work that extends beyond the saw table.
To use the narrow ripping fence in the work support position,
rotate it from its stored position as shown in Figure N, and
slide the pins into the lower sets of slots
the fence.
To use the narrow ripping fence in the narrow ripping position,
snap the pins into the upper sets of slots
the fence. This feature will allow 51 mm of extra clearance to the
blade. Refer to Figure N.
nOTE: Retract the work support extension or adjust to narrow
rip fence position whenever working over the table.

Rip Scale Pointer
The rip scale pointer will need to be adjusted for proper
performance of the rip fence if the user switches between thick
and thin kerf blades. The rip scale pointer only reads correctly
for position 1 (0 mm to 510 mm), however for position 1 with
narrow rip fence in use add 52 mm. See Adjusting the Rip Scale

of the blade.
1. Set the required bevel angle, by rotating lever
it up and to the right.
2. Set to desired angle, rotate lever by pushing down and to
the left to lock in place.
3. Proceed as for ripping.
Cross-Cutting and Bevel Crosscutting

2. Lock the mitre gauge at 0°.
3. Proceed as for ripping.
Mitre Cuts (Fig. A)
1. Set the mitre gauge
nOTE: Always hold the workpiece tightly against the face of the
mitre gauge.
2. Proceed as for ripping.
Compound Mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.Set the bevel
to the angle required and proceed as for a cross-cut mitre.
