The stop block is useful as a stop for cutting multiple
pieces to the same length. It can be installed on either
table extension on either side of the saw base:
• Slide the stop block on the back arm of either table
extension, then insert the table extension into the
saw base. See Figure 38.
• Use the small wing screw to secure the stop block
to the table extension. See Figure 38.
• Loosen the small wing screw and adjust the stop
block the desired distance from the blade for the
cut to be made.
• Tighten small wing screw securely.
• Make a test cut in scrap material and measure the
length of the workpiece.
• Make any necessary adjustments.
_t, WARNING: When using the work clamp with
the stop block, install the clamp on the stop block
side of the blade. This will eliminate the
possibility of the saw catching the loose end and
kicking up. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
