When cutting long workpieces, invert the AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK SUPPORT, and position it on top of the
guide bars to support the workpiece as near to the end as
possible. If this does not adequatPly support the workpiece.
you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse.

REPETITIVE CUTTING
REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of
pieces the same length without having to mark each piece.
1. Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for cutting
duplicate pieces 6 in. long and longer.
2. Follow all safety precautions and operation instructions
for cross cutting.
When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece, make
sure it is adequately supported.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gaugefor greater accuracy,
1. NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE ASA LENGTH STOP
BECAUSE THE CUTOFF PIECE COULD BIND
BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE BLADE CAUSING
A KICKBACK.
2. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 in., clamp a
block of wood 2 in. long to the table to act as a length
stop. Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the
table because the "swivel" of the clamps will not grip
properly. Place e small block of wood between the
bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamps.
CAUTION; When clamping the block, make sure that
the end of the block is well in front of the sawblade. Be
sure it is clamped securely.
3. Slide the workpiece along the mRer gauge until it
touches the block . . . hold it securely or clamp it with
the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory).
4. Make the cut . . . pull the workpiece back ... push the
cut off piece off the table with a long push stick... DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD
ENDANGER YOUR HANDS.
