guides on the soleplate (7). You can fit the
parallel stop (11) on either the left or right of
the equipment.
•
The guide strip must always face downwards.
Set the required distance using the measu-
rement scale on the parallel stop (11) and
tighten the locking screws for the parallel stop
(13) again.
Important!
The read-off point for the measurement scale is at
point (a) or (b), as shown in Fig. 4, depending on
which side the parallel stop is inserted from.
The mark in the center of the soleplate is only pro-
vided for cutting along a line and not for reading
the measurement scale.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts
(Fig. 5 and 6)
•
For miter cuts you must remove the locking
screw for the parallel stop (13) as well as the
