carefully between the saw blade and
the rip fence to the rear area of the

Setting the rip fence as a stock stop
for cross-cutting
For cutting narrow workpieces you can
use the rip fence as a stock stop.
1. Fold the mitre fence (70) out onto
the table.
2. Set the rear end of the rip fence (68)
such that it is in line with the saw
blade tip (69).
A
Danger!
If the workpiece is wedged it can be
flung out uncontrolledly. Adjust the
rip fence such that the workpiece
ends are not simultaneously contac-
ting the saw blade and the rip fence.

Tips and tricks

Before making a cut: make a trial cut
•
on appropriate waste pieces.
Always lay the workpiece on the saw
•
table such that it cannot tip over or
wobble (e.g. place a curved board
with the convex side up).
For long workpieces: use suitable
•
workpiece supports, for example
roller support or extension table (see
'Available Accessories').
Keep surfaces of the table top and
•
table extension clean – in particular,
remove resin residue with a suitable
cleaning and maintenance spray
(optional accessory).
