Carefully lift the crosscut fence up, fully tight-
en the pivot stud, then re-insert the stud into
the hole. Re-check the spacing between the
end block and blade—if necessary, loosen
the stud and repeat Steps 3–5 until the spac-
ing is correct.
6.
Set either crosscut fence flip stop to the
desired width-of-cut.
Note: Extend the crosscut fence slide if the
workpiece is more than 74".
7.
Load the workpiece onto the table saw. The
set up should look similar to Figure 103 on
the previous page.

Once all the necessary safety precautions
have been taken, then perform the cutting
operation.

When using the rip fence with the crosscut
fence, the rip fence must be positioned
behind the front edge of the blade to pre-
vent the workpiece from binding and caus-
ing a kickback hazard.
2.
Position the rip fence for the desired width-of-
cut, then slide the leading end of the rip fence
behind the front edge of the main blade, as
shown in Figure 108.
