Recheck that the saw blade is securely clamped.
Confirm that the wing-nut for adjusting the slot
depth, the wing-bolt for adjusting the angle of
inclination.
(1) Place the base on the material, then align the
premarked line and the saw blade with the notch
at the front of the base (Fig. 12).
(2) When the base is not inclined, use the large notch
(Fig. 12, Fig. 13).
If the base is inclined (45 degrees), use the small
notch (Fig. 12, Fig. 14).
