AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. OO)
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 provides additional depth of cut).
This fence should be constructed of
straight auxiliary wood approximately
3/4 in. thick by 1-1/2 in. high by 22 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.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. PP)
Base moldings and many other moldings
can be cut on a compound miter saw.
The setup of the saw depends on
molding characteristics and application,
as shown. Perform practice cuts on
scrap material to achieve best results:
1. Always make sure moldings rest
firmly against fence and table. Use
hold-down, crown molding vise
or C-clamps, whenever possible,
and place tape on the area being
clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut
area prior to making the cut. Mark
the cut line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to
an incorrect blade application and
thinness of the material.
