20 Table Saw Operator's Manual
PRACTICAL OPERATIONS (cont.):
5. Rip Fence Operation (Fig. 22):
The rip fence can be used on either side of the saw blade. The pointer on
rip fence indicates the distance between the saw blade and rip fence.
a.
Raise the grip to the upside and release the fixation of the rip fence.
b. Move the rip fence right and left while pressing the width body against
the table surface and set the desired distance form the saw blade.
c. Lower the grip to the bottom and fix the rip fence.
WARNING: THE GRIP MUST BE LOCKED DURING ALL CUTTING
OPERATIONS. CONFIRM THE RIP FENCE HAS BEEN
PROPERLY LOCKED BEFORE OPERATION. TO PREVENT
PERSONAL INJURY, NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL IF
THE RIP FENCE IS LOOSE.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE RIP FENCE IS ALWAYS IN
PARALLEL WITH THE MITER GAUGE GROOVE ON THE TABLE.
6. Miter Gauge Operation (Fig. 23):
The miter gauge can be used on either side of the miter gauge grooves on
the table. However, for bevel cutting (the saw blade is tilted), use the miter
gauge in the right side miter gauge groove to prevent hands or miter
gauge form interfering with the saw blade guard. Miter gauge is accurately
adjustable at 90° and 45° right and left in relation to the saw blade.
Intentional miter cut angle can be obtained easily.
a.
Loosen clamp handle (B).
b. Turning the miter gauge to the desired angle.
c. Tighten clamp handle (B) to lock the miter gauge.

OPERATION:
For your own safety carefully read and observe the following warnings and precautions in addition to the
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, SAFETY AND WARNINGS.
1.
The saw blade is firmly locked.
2. Never perform any operation "free hand" without using the miter gauge, rip fence and / or other auxiliary devices.
To do so could cause accidents from kickback should the saw blade become locked in the workpiece material.
3. When miter gauge is used, remove rip fence from table.
4. When the miter gauge is used, securely tighten clamp handle (B).
5. When rip fence is used, remove miter gauge from table.
6. When the rip fence is used, securely lock the grip.
7. If blade stalls or stops, TURN SWITCH OFF before releasing blade.
8. Never attempt to remove small cut-off pieces with your fingers. Remove them by pushing them clear with a long
stick.
9. Never attempt to remove small cut-off pieces trapped inside the saw blade guard while the saw is running. Turn
the switch "OFF", allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop, raise the saw blade guard and remove the
cut-offs.
10. Adjust the saw blade height so it is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) above the top of
the workpiece. More exposure would be hazardous. (Fig. 24)
11. Never touch any cut-offs while saw blade is running.
12. Feed material slowly in order to make fine cut,
keep accuracy and avoid overloading.
