The guide fence can be attached to theleft or right of the machine. The cutting range on theright-hand side amounts to approx. 140 mm (5 ½ in.)and on the left-hand side to approx. 295 mm (11 5/8in.). Once you have unfastened the wing screws youcan adjust the cutting width 19 (Fig. 2) bymoving the guide fence accordingly andafterwards retightening the wing screws.In addition, by simply turning it around (guide face forthe workpiece edge points upwards), the parallel stopcan also be used as double support to improveguidance of the plunge cut saw. Now the machinecan be guided along a lath that is fastened on theworkpiece.5.8 Scoring with the guide rail (specialaccessories)In case of panel materials you canachieve a clean cut if you score.Use a suitable saw blade (seeChapter 4.3).To avoid the surface from tearing out, proceed asfollows: Fasten the guide rail on the workpiece. Tilt the locking lever 20 (Fig. 2) clockwise up tothe limit stop.
