A bowed workpiece (1) must be positioned
against the fence and secured with a hold-
down clamp (2) as shown before cutting. Do
not position workpiece incorrectly or try to
cut the workpiece without the support of the
fence. This will cause the blade to bind and
could result in personal injury.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT (FIG. KK)
Long pieces need extra support. The support
should be placed under the workpiece. Keep
your hand holding the workpiece positioned
7-5/16 inches or more away from the blade.

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. MM)
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 to be
constructed of straight wood approximately
3/4 in. thick by 2-1/2 in. high by 22 in. 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.
