Adjusting Stop
The work stop should be adjusted to support the
workpiece for both straight and taper cuts. Loosen
the stop screws, adjust the stop as far out as the
operation allows to provide as much workpiece
support as possible (see Figure 1), then tighten
the screws to secure.
Figure 1. Location of stop screws.
The stop MUST be adjusted so it will not contact
the blade during the cut. To check for interference
with the stop, draw a cut line on the workpiece
that traces the path of the blade, as shown in
Figure 2, then proceed with the operation.

If stop contacts blade during operation,
stop can become a dangerous projectile or
cause kickback. If stop cannot be adjusted
to support workpiece without contacting
blade, do not proceed with operation.
Use different workpiece support method
or modify angle settings so stop will not
contact blade or blade guard.
