depth of cut, set the cutting depth, and tighten the swing nut again. 

 

Adjusting the cutting angle   

Slacken the swing nut for adjusting angle of cut, set the cutting angle on the 

scale, and tighten the swing nut again. Check angle of cut by making a test cut.

Slacken the clamp nut and set the rip fence to the required cutting width by 

means of the cutting line scale. Retighten clamp nut.
