Stop Block - Craftsman 315.212050 Operator's Manual

,_k SAWVIEWEDFROMBOTTOM
WARNING: Before connecting saw to power
source, make sure the blade or blade guard will not
hit the work clamp or table extensions when cutting
35 ° to 45 ° angles.
TABLE EXTENSIONS
See Figures 12- 13.
If you plan to use both the stop block and miter clamp,
slide the stop block on the back arm of the desired table
extension first. Next slide the clamp support on the same
table extension.
To install table extensions, insert the ends of the exten-
sions into the two holes in each side of the base.
Secure them in place by positioning a clamp bracket
under each table extension beneath the miter table. Orient
each clamp bracket as shown in figure 13. Secure each
clamp bracket in place with a clamp bracket screw. The
clamp bracket screw threads through the clamp bracket
and tightens against the bottom of miter table, securing
clamp bracket against table extension.

STOP BLOCK
The stop block is useful as a stop for making repetitive
cuts to the same length. It can be installed 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.
• Use the small wing screw to secure the stop block to
the table extension.
• 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.
_ WARNING: When using the work clamp with the
stop block, install the clamp on the same side as
the stop block. This will eliminate the possibility of
trapping the workpiece, resulting in the blade and
workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed this warning
can result in serious personal injury.
