Using the Auxiliary Fence

The auxiliary fence provides support for taller workpieces. The 

two halves of the fence can be pushed towards or away from the 

blade or be removed completely. Making beveled cuts requires 

the auxiliary fence to be moved away from the blade area. 

To move the auxiliary fence, lift the locking lever, slide the fence, 

then lower the locking lever. 

To remove the auxiliary fence, lower the limit screw by turning it clockwise, then slide the fence out 

of the retaining slot. 

Setting the Depth Limit

The depth limit is used for making partial cuts that do not cut all the way through the workpiece. 

When the depth limit is engaged, the sawblade’s vertical travel is limited from going below the 

preset height.  

The height is easily adjustable by turning the depth limit knob. Turning the knob clockwise ¼-turn 

raises the sawblade by approximately 1mm, and turning it counterclockwise lowers the sawblade. 

To engage the depth limit, pull the knob forward. To disengage the depth limit, push the knob back.

cupboards.
