Use of the parallel fence
(Fig.24A-B)
When the serrated knob (3) is unlocked and the handle (1) is lifted up, the complete parallel fence can
be moved. To lock the fence in position push the handle (1) down.
The micrometric adjustment is achieved by locking the knob (3), by holding the handle (1) in the
upright position and by turning the serrated knob (2).
After the adjustment, push handle (1) down to lock the fence in place. When cutting small workpieces
with the saw unit inclined at 45°, the fence should be used in the low position.
Simply unlock the eccentric clamping handle (4), slide off the fence and slide it back on in the low
position. Lock the fence with the eccentric clamping handle (4).
When cutting solid wood using the parallel fence, to avoid the wood getting stuck between the fence
and the riving knife (resulting in a highly dangerous kickback) it is recommended to reposition the
fence so that its end protrudes just past the end of the riving knife.
