CUTTINGBOWED MATERIAL
(FIG. DD)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned
against the fence and secured with
a clamping devise before cutting as
shown. Do not position workpiece
incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece
without the support of the fence. This
will cause the blade to bind and could
result in personal injury.

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. FF)
When making multiple or repetitive cuts
that result in cut-off pieces of one inch
or less, it is possible for the saw blade
to catch the cut-off piece and throw it
out of the saw or into the blade guard
and housing, possibly causing damage
or injury. To minimize this, an auxiliary
wood fence can be mounted to your
saw.
Holes are provided in the saw fence
to attach an auxiliary wood fence. This
fence is to be constructed of straight
wood approximately 3/4 in. thick by
2-1/2 in. high by 18 in. long.
Attach the wood fence securely and
make a full depth cut to make a blade
slot.
Check for interference between the
wood fence and the lower blade guard.
Adjust if necessary.
NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used
only with the saw blade in the 0° bevel
position (90° to the table). The auxiliary
wood fence must be removed when
bevel cutting.
