EN GLI SH
4. Turn the saw on and slowly cut the splinter
guard along the full length of the rail in one
continuous operation. The edge of the splinter
guard now corresponds exactly to the cutting
edge of the blade (fig. 10).
To tune in the anti-splinter guard on the other side
of the guide rail, remove the saw from the rail and
rotate the rail 180°. Repeat steps 1 through 4.
NOTE: If desired, the splinter guard can be bevelled
to 45°, then repeat steps 1 through 4. This allows
one side of the rail for cutting parallel cuts and the
other side of the rail is tuned in for 45° bevel cuts
(fig. 11).
NOTE: If the anti-splinter guard is tuned in for
parallel cutting on both sides then when the unit is
bevelled the blade will not run true to the edge of the
anti-splinter guard. This is because the pivot point of
the unit bevel is not stationary and the blade moves
out over when the unit is bevelled.
USING THE CORRECT CHANNEL
The saw base consists of two channels. One
channel is for making parallel cuts and the other
channel is for making bevel cuts.
The label at the front of the base (fig 12) indicates
which channel is for which application. When making
cuts make sure that the line on the label is in line
with the channel on the guide rail. Figure 13 shows
the saw in the parallel cutting position relative to
the guide rail. Figure 14 shows the saw in the bevel
cutting position relative to the guide rail.
