But if it is off, you can adjust it as the following procedure. 1. Slightly loosen the lever and clamping screw on the front and rear of the tool. 2. Make the base perpendicular to the blade using a triangular rule or square rule by turning the adjusting screw. 1 CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. CAUTION: Clean out the guard to ensure there is no accumulated sawdust and chips which may impede the operation of the guarding system. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper operation which could result in serious personal injury. The most effective way to accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air. If the dust is being blown out of the guard, be sure the proper eye and breathing protection is used. NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. Adjusting the parallelism This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is off, you can adjust it as the following procedure. 1. Make sure all levers and screws are tightened. Slightly loosen the screw illustrated. 2. While opening the lower guard, move the rear of the base so that the distance A and B becomes equal. 3. Tighten the screws and make a test cut to check the parallelism. 2 ► 1 . Triangular rule 2. Adjusting screw 3. Tighten the lever and clamping screw and then make a test cut to check the verticalness.
