The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the clamping screw on the front of the base.
It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
• Clean out the upper and lower guards to
ensure there is no accumulated sawdust which
may impede the operation of the lower
guarding system. A dirty guarding system may
limit the proper operation which could result in
serious personal injury. The most effective way to
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air. If
the dust is being blown out of the guards be
sure the proper eye and breathing protection is
used.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
