NOTICE: When performing right miter cut,
always set the guide plate at 0 - 170 mm position.
Setting at the 35 - 205 mm or 70 - 240 mm position
hinders the movement of stopper plate, which
results in a failure cut.
Loosen the two hex bolts using a socket wrench. Turn
the guide plate to the desired angle and secure it with
the hex bolts. Be careful not to move the set angle while
securing the hex bolts.

►1. Stopper plate
The stopper plate prevents the cut-off wheel from
contactingtheworkbenchoroor.Whenanewcut-off
wheel is installed, set the stopper plate to position (A).
When the cut-off wheel wears down to the extent that
the lower portion of the workpiece is left uncut, set the
stopper plate to position (B) to allow increased cutting
capacity with a worn down wheel.
