required width and secure it
in position using the rip fence
locking handle (29).
2. The rip fence can be
positioned on both sides
of the blade.
3. Ensure that the fence rests against the wood along its
entire length to give a consistent parallel cut.

and can be adjusted when cutting an angle.
2. To adjust the mitre gauge loosen the knob (31) at the top
of the mitre gauge.
3. Rotate the mitre gauge until the desired angle is reached.
4. Tighten the mitre gauge knob to secure the angle.
Note. When the mitre gauge is not in use it can be stored
on the back of the band saw for greater convenience. Slide
the mitre gauge into the mitre gauge storage slot (32) on the
back of the band saw.
Adjusting the bevel angle
