Setting guide bushings on rear leg
mount:
 Turn Allen screws (75) clockwise =
guide sluggish.
 Turn Allen screws (75) counter-
clockwise = guide moves easily.
Tighten all Allen screws diagonally
and evenly.
 Before cutting a workpiece to size
make trial cuts on pieces of scrap.
 Always place a workpiece on the saw
table in such way that it cannot tilt or
rock (e.g. always place a curved
board on the table with the convex
side up).
 To simplify repetitive cut-off work
use a stock stop.
 Keep surface of table clean.
