PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig. D)
The parallel guide is used for making cuts parallel to a work-piece
edge at a chosen distance and can be used from either side of the
base plate (9). Slide the parallel guide (19) arm through the fixture(11)
to achieve the required cutting distance and tighten the clamping
screw (13) with the small “L” spanner to lock into position. Do not
over tighten. The parallel guide enables exact cuts along a workpiece
edge and can also be used for cutting parallel strips.
NOTE: Since the parallel guide clamping screw is spring-loaded, the
operator should take care when unscrewing it completely as to avoid
losing the screw and spring.
SAWDUST REMOVAL (See Fig. E)
Your saw includes a vacuum adapter (20) that attaches to the dust
extraction outlet (7) on the saw. This adapter port can be attached to
a vacuum cleaner (sold separately). The use of the vacuum is strongly
recommended as it keeps the work area clean, dramatically increases
cut visibility and reduces airborne dust. It also keeps dust out of the
working elements of the guard.
NOTE:If using the saw without a vacuum attached, in some
circumstances after lengthy operation, dust can accumulate at the
rear of the base and prevent it from reaching full depth. You can
prevent this by occasionally shaking the dust out.
PLASTIC BASE PLATE COVER (See Fig. F1, F2)
Your saw includes a plastic base plate cover (21). Attach it to your
saw’s base when you are cutting work pieces that have delicate
surfaces (finishes) such as vinyls, plastics, fiberglass, laminate
flooring and tiles that could easily be scratched by the steel base.
