SLIDING MITER FENCES

The sliding miter fences help support the workpiece se-

pound cuts. Some cuts may require that the sliding fence
be removed completely to avoid interference between the
fence and the blade.
Loosen the fence lock knob before attempting to slide the
fences or lift them for removal. Once the desired position
of the fence is determined, retighten the fence lock knob
securely.

installed, a padlock with a larger shackle diameter must be
used. Store the padlock key in another location.
