WARNING

narrow cut-off pieces (2" or less in width) may be

propelled at high speed over the fence and beyond

the back of the tool (see figure 50). Use auxiliary

fence as instructed and shown in figures below.

A crown molding auxiliary fence is used to add support

to the cut-off workpiece such as large crown molding

when cut flat on the table (see figure 51). It will reduce

splintering and movement of the unsupported cut-off

piece of wood after the cut is made.

Making Crown Molding Auxiliary fence

Required pieces:

3/4" thick wood board

4 – Flat Head Machine Screws

1/4"diameter x 2-1/2" long

4 – 1/4" Flat Washers

4 – 1/4" Nuts

1. Remove the sliding fence from the tool (see page 26).

2. Build auxiliary fence by following the pattern and

illustrations on page 39.

3. Add 4 holes as dimensioned on pattern -or- add

holes following the next steps:

a. Cut wood to the outside dimensions shown and

temporarily attach to saw's stationary fence using

two C-clamps.

b. Use 1/4" drill bit to drill first through existing holes

in the rear of the stationary fence and then through

the wood.

c. Remove wood, countersink the front of the wood

and permanently attach to saw's fence with

hardware shown below.

first-Time Use of the Auxiliary fence

NOTE: The first time the auxiliary fence is used, it will be

cut through by the saw blade – cutting through creates

minimal clearance which reduces splintering on the

workpiece. Set the miter angle and the bevel angle

required before making the first cut.

WARNING

Off by conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and

observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep

hands at least six (6) inches away from the projected

path of the saw blade.

Clamp the workpiece, then make cut – example:

compound cutting large crown molding flat on the table.
