USING AUXiLiARY FENCE ON RiP FENCE
• MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from
the power source.
• TO AVOID KICKBACK always position auxiliary
fence at least 2-inches in front of the saw blade when
being used as a stop for crosscutting.
• Never use the aluminum auxiliary fence while
performing a molding cutter head or dado operation.
A wooden auxiliary fence (not included) must be used
for these operations.

CAUTION
It is necessary when performing special operations
such as moulding, to add wood facing (A) to one or
both sides of the rip fence (B). A 3/4-inch facing to the
rip fence is suitable for most work although an occa-
sional job may require 1-inch facing. See figure 22-2.
CAUTION
A wood facing should be used when ripping thin materi-
al such as paneling to prevent the material from catch-
ing between the bottom of the rip fence and saw table
surface.
RiP FENCE MICRO=ADJUSTMENT
MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from
the power source when making adjustments.

1. Note: When using the auxiliary fence supplied with
your saw you must subtract 1" from the rip scale.
This is because the auxiliary fence is 1-inch thick.
2. When using the auxiliary fence as a cut-off stop,
first assemble auxiliary fence to the rip fence.
3. Position the beginning of the auxiliary fence (A) at
least 2-inches in front of the saw blade (B) and
tighten both clamp knobs (C). See figure 22-1.
4. If using the rip scale to set the cut length, subtract
1" from the rip scale for the finish cut measurement.
Make sure rip fence is locked before any cuts are
made.
