CAUTION
In some arrangements when the turntable is rotated,
the guard projects from the fence surface. Loosen the
6 mm knob bolt and push the guard to the retracted
position. Never lift the lower guard while the saw
blade is rotating. When cutting at an angle to the right
or more, please slide the guard to the rear. The guard
and sub-fence (A) and sub-fence (B) will not only make
contact and adversely affect cutting accuracy, this
could also result in damage to the guard.
