CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (Fig. AA)
A bowed workpiece must be positionedagainst
the fence before cutting. Do not position
workpiece incorrectly or try to cut the
workpiece without the support of the fence,

result in personal injury.

When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in
cot-off pieces of one inch or less, it is possible for the
saw blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of
the saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly
causing damage or injury.To minimize this risk, turn off
the machine, wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop, unplug the unit & remove the cut pieces.
AUXlLARY WOOD FENCE (Fig. CC)
Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an
auxiliary wood fence (this provides additionaldepth of
cut). This fence should be constructed of straight
auxiliary wood approximately 3/4 inch thick by 2-1/2
inches high by 18-1/2 inches long.Attach the wood
fence securely and make a full depth cut to make a
blade slot. Check for interference between the wood
fence and the lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT (Fig. BB)
Long pieces need extra support. The support
should be placed under the workpiece. Keep your
hand holdingthe workpiece positioned 7-1/4" or
more away from the blade. The support must let
the workpiece lay flat on the work table during the
cutting operation.
NOTE: When mounted on a fiat surface, the miter
saw table is 3-1/8 inches high.
