CAUTION:

Be sure to hold the hex nut carefully with the
wrench. If your grip should slip, the wrench may
come off the hex nut, and your hand could strike the
sharp blade edges.
Installing blade guard
1
CAUTION:
•
Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth
of cut to its maximum elevation. Insert the spreader
between the blade guard mounting portion (stay)
and the pressure plate.
Tighten the hex bolts (A) with the offset wrench. The
spreader installing location is factory-adjusted so that the
blade and spreader will be in a straight line. However, if
they are not in a straight line, loosen the hex bolts (B)
and adjust the blade guard mounting portion (stay) so
that the spreader is aligned directly behind the blade.
Then tighten the hex bolts (B) to secure the stay.

CAUTION:
•
Always grasp the striped portion of the offset
wrench when tightening the hex bolts. If you tighten
the hex bolts while grasping the offset wrench
further than the striped portion, the hex bolts may
be damaged and/or an injury to your hand may
result.
•
If the blade and spreader are not aligned properly, a
dangerous pinching condition may result during
operation. Make sure they are properly aligned. You
could suffer serious personal injury while using the
tool without a properly aligned spreader.
•
NEVER make any adjustments while tool is
running. Disconnect the tool before making any
adjustments.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm (5/32" -13/
64") between the spreader and the blade teeth.
Adjust the spreader accordingly and tighten the hex bolts
(A) securely. Attach the table insert on the table, then
check to see that the blade guard works smoothly before
cutting.

Installing and adjusting rip fence

2
Raise the grip of the rip fence. Install the rip fence on the
table so that the fence holder engages with the guide rail.
The rip fence can be secured by lowering the grip.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the
blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm (5/64" - 1/8" ) from
the blade. Raise the blade up to maximum elevation.
Mark one of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the
distance (A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade.
Take both measurements using the tooth marked with the
crayon. These two measurements should be identical. If
the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as fol-
lows:
