2. Circular cuts
When cutting circles or arcs of 170 mm (6-11/16”) or less
in radius, install the rip fence as follows.
Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the side
of the tool base with the fence guide facing up. Insert the
circular guide pin through either of the two holes on the
fence guide. Screw the threaded knob onto the pin to
secure the pin.
Now slide the rip fence to the desired cutting radius, and
tighten the bolt to secure it in place. Then move the tool
base all the way forward.
NOTE:
• Always use blades No. B-17, B-18, B-26 or B-27 when
cutting circles or arcs.
Cover plate
Use the cover plate when cutting decorative veneers, plas-
tics, etc. It protects sensitive or delicate surfaces from dam-
age. Fit it on the back of the tool base.
Anti-splintering device
For splinter-free cuts, the anti-splintering device can be used.
To install the anti-splintering device, move the tool base all
the way forward and fit it from the back of tool base. When
you use the cover plate, install the anti-splintering device
onto the cover plate.
CAUTION:
• The anti-splintering device cannot be used when making
bevel cuts.
