Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Do not use the rip fence with the

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with
the screws on the front and the back of the base. It also
makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
Overturning the rip fence (guide rule) also works as a
sub base for the tool.
Stopper for 2 to 3 mm depth of
cut when using circular saw blade
(optional accessory) and guide rail
(optional accessory)
► Fig.20: 1. Stopper 2. Red mark
This tool has the stopper for 2 to 3 mm depth of cut on the
gear housing aside the rear handle when using guide rail.
Splinter on the workpiece can be avoided by making a pass of
the 2 to 3 mm first cut and then make another pass of usual cut.
First, push in the stopper toward the circular saw blade
for obtaining 2 to 3 mm depth of cut.
Then pull the button back for performing free depth of cut.
Make sure that the stopper is released and the red mark
