If the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows: (Fig. 28) (1) Turn the adjusting screws counterclockwise. (2) Shift the back edge of the rip fence slightly to right or left until it becomes parallel with the blade. Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may occur. Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it does not contact the top blade guard or saw blade. Before adjusting the riving knife, loosen the two levers by turning counterclockwise and press the top table on the right side nearby the riving knife to its lowered position. Then secure the top table by firmly re-tightening the two levers as shown in the figure. 19) There must be a clearance of about 4 ­ 5 mm between the riving knife and the blade teeth. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise until the screw is released, before turning again gently clockwise. When using the tool in the miter saw mode, secure the top table at the topmost position so that the saw blade never protrudes from the top surface of the top table. cAUTION: · Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. Whenever possible, secure the workpiece with the optional vise. If you must use your hand to hold the workpiece, then it must be done firmly and securely so as not to lose control of the workpiece. Your hand and arm must be kept well away from the blade area (100 mm minimum). [. . . ] Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by fully pushing in the stopper pin. Replace when they wear down to 3 mm in length. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. [. . . ]
