AUXILIARY FENCE

See Figure 37.
For cutting certain workpieces, you may require a larger
fence surface area to accommodate an auxiliary fence with a
workpiece. The auxiliary fence should be made using 3/4 inch
thick wood. Use the mounting holes (in bold) which are pre-
drilled in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence.
NEVER use auxiliary fence which interferes
or makes contact with saw head. ALWAYS check for clearance
between auxiliary fence and saw head before making cuts.
To make slide cuts using an auxiliary fence, a
notch MUST be cut out in the auxiliary fence prior to attaching
to saw fence.
The auxiliary fence can ONLY be used with
the 0° bevel angle. Remove the auxiliary fence before making
a bevel cut.
See Figure 38 for auxiliary fence dimensions.
