screws. If necessary, correct the alignment to cast iron table and use the
adjustment screws B (Fig 3-3.1b) under the extension table.
2. Check the flatness of the table by placing the fence plate E (see Fig. 3-4.1) on
both cast iron table & extension table as Fig. 3-3.1a. The extension table must be
v n h ight to cast iron table. If it has to be lower, the acceptable distance must
less than approx. 0.2mm.
3. Adjust the screws to support extension table.

F nc scal alignm nt
Before operation, the 0 mark on the rip fence scale must be aligned with the right
side of the blade to ensure that the rip fence measurements will be accurate.
To align the fence scale with the blades:
(1) Disconnect the power source
(2) Set the blade to 0° with the tilting wheel (90° with the cast iron table)
(3) Raise the saw blade up as far as it can go.
(4) Tighten the lever A and knob B (Fig. 3-4.2) for fixing the rip fence unit.
(5) Measure the distance C (Fig. 3-4.2) and check if the distance value is matched to
the value on scale rule.
Note: the lever D (Fig. 3-4.2) must be tighten to ensure the fence plate E (Fig.
