USING THE MITER GAUGE (Fig. Q)
1. Place the miter gauge into the slot on the table (Fig. Q).
2. Loosen the knob on the gauge to set a new miter angle (between 0
and 60 degrees).
3. Tighten the knob firmly before cutting begins.
NOTE: A 0° cut is a straight cut that is perpendicular to the blade.
USING THE FENCE (Fig. R)
The fence acts as a guide for making straight cuts. Position the fence
onto the work table with the side face is parallel to the blade. Adjust
the distance of the fence to the blade depending on the length you
would like to cut. Lock it in place by pushing down on the fence lock
handle(Fig. R). Make sure the fence is locked down before operation.

SUGGESTIONS AND WARNINGS:
• Do not touch the saw blade when cutting.
• During saw operation, wear safety glasses but do not wear gloves.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time.
• Always hold the workpiece down on the table.
• Do not jam any workpieces.
• Do not try to slow the blade down by pushing the work piece against the saw blade from the side.
• When straight cutting against the fence, use a push stick.
• Use a work support when cutting long stock to avoid pieces from falling down after the cut has
been completed.
• Use a dust collector to minimize sawdust.
• When cutting round stock, make sure the piece is as secure as possible.
• Before starting, check that the saw blade and the upper and lower blade guides are in proper
working order.
• Replace damaged parts immediately.
• Assume the correct working position (the blade’s teeth should be pointing towards the operator).
• Take all necessary precautions to avoid kickback during operation.
