(7.94mm) diameter, through the mounting surface.
2. Use 1/4" (6.35mm) fasteners
to securely mount base to
mounting surface.

Operation Tips for More Accurate Cuts
• Allow the wheel to do the cutting. Excessive force will cause the
wheel to glaze reducing cutting efficiency and/or to deflect caus-
ing inaccurate cuts.
• Properly adjust fence angle.
• Make sure material is laying flat across base.
• Properly clamp material to avoid movement and vibration.
