AUXILARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. W)
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in
cut-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, an auxiliary
wood fence can be mounted to your saw. Holes are
provided in the saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood
fence. This fence is constructed of straight auxiliary
wood approximately 3/4 inch thick by 2-1/2 inches high
by 16-1/8 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. NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used only with
the saw blade in the 0 ° bevel position (90 ° to the table).
The auxiliary wood fence must be removed when bevel
cutting.
