Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten two clamp screws to secure the carriage.
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn
the turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the
miter scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clock-
wise and counterclockwise to seat the turn base in
the 0° miter notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does
not point to 0°.) Loosen the hex bolts securing the
guide fence using the socket wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the
side of the blade with the face of the guide fence
using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then
securely tighten the hex bolts on the guide fence in
the order from the right side.
