Basic Saw Operations (Continued)
Workpiece Support
Long pieces need extra supports, The supports should
be placed along the workpiece so the workpiece does
not sag and your hand holding the workpiece is posi
tioned 4" or more from the blade path The support
should let the workpiece lay fiat on the base and work
table during the cutting operation
NOTE: When mounted on a large fiat surface, the
miter saw table is 3-1/2" high. Two finished 2x4s on
there sides can be used as work support extension.
Auxiliary Fence
Certain types of molding need a fence face extension
due to the size and position of the workpiece. Slots are
provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence. Get a
straight piece of wood typically 1/2 inch thick by 4 t/4
inches high by 19 1/4 inches long To attach auxiliary
fence, place the piece of wood on the miter saw fence,
Mark the locations from the backside of the miter saw
fence. Drill .200"-.250" holes, then countersink the
holes on front of wood to receive #10 flat head screws
Attach the auxiliary fence securely and make a full
depth cut. This will create the blade slot. Check for
interference between the auxiliary fence and lower
blade guard, Correct any interference before proceed
ing. The auxiliary fence is used with the saw in the 0'
bevel position. If a bevel cut is desired, the auxiliary
fence will have to be removed.
