After the switch has been turned on and the saw blade has reached
its maximum speed, slowly lower the handle to cut the piece of
wood, and then a groove on the table insert.
CAUTION:
Check that the saw can be lowered 1 - 1/4" to 1 - 5/16" (32 mm to
33 mm) below the table insert.
If necessary, adjust as follows:

nut.
NOTE:
Always clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to the fence; otherwise the workpiece
might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.
The holders help keep longer workpieces stable and in place dur-
ing the cutting operation.
Install them on the right and left sides of the base and fix them
with 10 mm bolts.
For moving the holders, loosen the 10 mm bolts.

Do not cut the groove too quickly; otherwise the
guard might become damaged.
Before tightening the 10mm lock nut, confirm that the
saw blade is adjusted so that it will not cut into the turn-
table. Allow a space of 3/16" (4 - 5 mm) between the saw
blade and the turntable.
