DOUBLE INSULATION To avoid injury from flying debris, keep holding the saw head down, after making cuts, until the blade has come to a complete stop. Do not lift up the top end of the rip fence when installing or removing it. [. . . ] Rip fence has two slits on its sides, one slit with an elevated fringe nearby on the same side and the other without it. Use the surface of rip fence with this fringe facing the workpiece only when cutting off into a piece of a thin workpiece. To change the rip fence pattern, remove the rip fence from the rip fence holder by loosening the clamping screw (A) and change the facing of the rip fence to the rip fence holder so that the rip fence faces the rip fence holder according to your work as shown in the figure. Insert the square nut on the rip fence holder into the back end of either slit of the rip fence so that they fit as shown in the figure. To change from the pattern A or B to the pattern C or D, or in adverse case, remove the square nut and clamping screw (A) from the rip fence holder, then position the clamping screw (A) and square nut on the opposite position of the rip fence holder compared to the original position Tighten the clamping screw (A) securely after inserting the square nut of the rip fence holder into the rip fence slit. Insert the square nut on the rip fence holder into the back end of either slit of the rip fence so that they fit as shown in the figure. To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade, adjust the blade height with the cutting depth adjusting knob so that the blade appears at the topmost position from the table. These two measurements should be identical If the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows: Fig. CAUTION: Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may occur. Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it does not contact the top blade guard or saw blade. Raising the installed rip fence or exerting a force on it to the right and left with your hand grabbing its top end may damage it and impair its function. 33 Install the miter gauge by inserting its shaft into one of two grooves in the table from the front. Miter gauge fence that is also used as rip fence can be installed on the miter gauge according to your work. 34 The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles adhering to the insides which might hamper further collection. 35 If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed. 37 CAUTION: Point the discharge opening of the elbow to the direction in which the exhaust dust and chips do not fly out toward the tool and persons in work area. Shift the front edge of the rip fence slightly to right or left until it becomes parallel with the blade. WARNING: It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop. 38 The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the guide fence. [. . . ] 66 Make sure that the pointer on the turn table point to 0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If it does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will point to 0°. Bring stock flush up against fence and feed gently forward into the blade. 60 To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence board. [. . . ]
