NOTE: To remove the sliding fence, loosen the sliding fence
adjustment knob. Then, slide the fence towards the blade to take
out.
INSTALLING THE WORK CLAMP
6HH¿JXUH
WARNING
In some operations, the work clamp assembly may interfere with
the operation of the blade guard assembly. Always make sure
there is no interference with the blade guard prior to beginning
any cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the workpiece
to the table. It also prevents the workpiece from creeping towards
the saw blade.
Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the workpiece,
it may be necessary to use a C-clamp (not included) instead of the
work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.
To install the work clamp:
ŶPlace the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the turning
table base.
ŶRotate the work clamp knob on the work clamp to move it in or
out as needed.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only portions
of the product. This is intentional so that we can clearly show points
being made in the illustrations. Never operate the product without all
guards securely in place and in good operating condition.
DUST BAG
6HH¿JXUH
ŶTo install the dust bag and frame assembly, slide the open end
of the frame onto the exhaust port.
ŶFor efficient operation, empty the dust bag before it is half full.
