Wood facing

WARNING:
Use screws to attach the wood
facing to the guide fence. The screws should be
installed so that the screw heads are below the
surface of the wood facing so that they will not
interfere with the positioning of the material being
cut. Misalignment of the material being cut can case
unexpected movement during the cutting operation
which may result in a loss of control and serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thick-
ness for the wood facing.
CAUTION:
In order to completely cut through
workpieces with a height of 107 mm to 120 mm, a
wood facing should be used on the guide fence.
The wood facing will space the workpiece away from
the fence allowing the blade to complete a deeper
cut.
NOTICE:
When the wood facing is attached, do
not turn the turn base with the handle lowered.
The blade and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence and 6 mm screws.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.
