1 . The high sliding fence (A) Fig. 28A, provides support for extra large workpieces used with your
saw and should always be set as close as possible to the saw blade. When miter cutting (blade
set 90 degrees to the table and at an angle to the right or left), the fence should be set all the way
to the right, as shown in Fig. 28A. When bevel cutting, however (blade tilted at an angle to the
t able), the fence (A) Fig. 28B, should be moved to the left to allow for proper clearance for the saw
blade and guard, as shown in Fig. 28B. This can be accomplished by loosening lock handle (B),
sliding the fence (A) to the desired location and tightening lock handle (B). NOTE: Lock handle (B)
is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling up on handle and repositioning it on the
serrated nut located underneath handle.
