5.10 Sawing with the parallel guide fence

The parallel guide fence (C) is used for sawing in parallel to an existing edge. The guide fence can be mounted
on the right (motor side) or the left (tool side) side of the machine. The possible adjustable distance is 175 to
250 mm [6.89 to 9.84 in] on the right side and 12 mm to 65 mm [0.47 - 2.56 in] on the left side. In the range of
175 to 200 mm [6.89 - 7.87 in] on the motor side, the machine must be moved upwards by approx. 10 mm [0.4
in] so that the guide fence can be inserted underneath the motor housing.
To check the set width, use an additional measuring device (such as a meter stick) to set the parallel guide
fence to the correct dimension (edge of parallel guide fence to cutting line).
Use the following procedure to install the parallel
guide fence:
1. Loosen the wing screws (5) on each side.
2. Insert the parallel guide fence (C) into the guide
provided for this purpose.
It can be mounted on the left or right side
➢
of the machine.
3. Tighten the wing screws (5) on each side.
✓ The parallel guide fence is installed.
