ASSEMBLY
SAWDUST COLLECTION
You can operate this machine more safely and conveniently with a dust collector.
1. Connect a dust collection system hose (not included) to the nozzle on the back
of the metal guard.
2. If a dust collector is not available or convenient, use the included dust bag
(K, fig.1 & 2) and fit it to the dust nozzle at the back of the guard.
3. Whenever the dustbag is half full, remove it and zip open the bag at the bottom.
4. Clean out the sawdust completely.

HOLD-DOWN CLAMP

1. The hold down clamp included can be installed in either of the two holes
positioned just behind the fence at both the left and right ends.
. Install the shaft (B, fig.3) into the hole and then tighten the hold-down clamp
retention screw (A, fig.3). Two grooves around the shaft allow the butterfly
screw to hold the shaft from moving vertically while allowing it to rotate for easy
clamp positioning.
3. You can adjust the height and position of the clamping arm according to the
thickness and shape of the workpiece with the knob at the back top.
4. Place the workpiece on the table tightly against the fence and slide it to the
desired cutting position.
5. Tighten the hold-down clamp knob (C, fig.3) to secure the workpiece.
TABLE EXTENSIONS
Two table side extensions (U, fig.1) are included with your saw to help support
longer pieces of material.
1. Each fits into two holes (C, fig.2) on the left or right side of the saw table.
. The two extensions can be slid completely into the saw base for convenient
storage or can be extended to widen the supported area.
3. On each side at the back of the table, a table extension retention screw (E,
fig.2) threads in to hold the extensions in position.
