CAUTION:
The ring 25.4 mm or 30 mm in outer diameter is
•
factory-installed onto the spindle. Before mounting
the blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the
correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade you
intend to use is installed onto the spindle.
Return the lower blade guard A and center cover to its
original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Raise the blade guard B as far as it
will go and tighten the clamping screw firmly while holding it

Before adjusting the riving knife, loosen the two levers
by turning counterclockwise and press the top table on
the right side nearby the riving knife to its lowered
position. Then secure the top table by firmly re-
tightening the two levers as shown in the figure.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm between
the riving knife and the blade teeth. Adjust the riving
knife accordingly by
counterclockwise with the hex socket wrench and
measuring the distance. Tighten the hex bolts securely,
and then check to see that the top blade guard works
smoothly before cutting.

The riving knife has been installed before shipment from
the factory so that the blade and riving knife are in a
straight line.

Installing and adjusting rip fence
Fig.22
1. Install the rip fence on the table so that the rip
fence holder engages with the guide rail. Tighten
the clamping screw (B) of the rip fence firmly
clockwise.
2. Loosen the clamping screw (A).
3. Slide the rip fence and secure it so that the far
end from you of the rip fence is aligned with the
point at which the front edge of saw blade just
appears from top surface of the workpiece. The
purpose of this adjustment is to reduce risk of
kick-back toward operator that cut piece from the
workpiece is pinched between the saw blade and
rip fence and finally pushed out toward operator.
The line 3 varies by thickness of workpiece or the
table level. Adjust the position of the rip fence
according to the thickness of the workpiece.
After adjusting the rip fence, tighten the clamping
screw (A) firmly.
Fig.23
NOTE:
The rip fence must be mounted the left side of the
•
saw blade when in the miter saw mode.
Fig.24
NOTE:
There are four patterns to position the rip fence as
•
shown in the figure. Rip fence has two slits on its sides,
one slit with an elevated fringe nearby on the same
side and the other without it. Use the surface of rip
fence with this fringe facing the workpiece only when
cutting off into a piece of a thin workpiece.

NOTE:
To change the rip fence pattern, remove the rip
•
fence from the rip fence holder by loosening the
clamping screw (A) and change the facing of the
rip fence to the rip fence holder so that the rip
fence faces the rip fence holder according to your
work as shown in the figure.
Insert the square nut on the rip fence holder into
the back end of either slit of the rip fence so that
they fit as shown in the figure.
To change from the pattern A or B to the pattern C or
D, or in adverse case, remove the square nut, washer
and clamping screw (A) from the rip fence holder, then
position the clamping screw (A), washer and square
nut on the opposite position of the rip fence holder
compared to the original position Tighten the clamping
screw (A) securely after inserting the square nut of the
rip fence holder into the rip fence slit.
Insert the square nut on the rip fence holder into
the back end of either slit of the rip fence so that
they fit as shown in the figure.
