To use the auxiliary fence when cutting thin
(3/4”
thick or less) workpieces close to the
blade (Fig . 43b)
NOTE: Only use the auxiliary fence in this
position for workpieces 3/4” thick or less.
Always use a push stick to keep hands at least
2 inches away from the blade.
1. Loosen the rail lock lever.
2. Use the rail driving wheel knob to move the
rip fence.
3. Flip the auxiliary fence over. Slide the
auxiliary fence back, then push down. The
pin on the auxiliary fence will fit into the
upper slot on the rip fence.
4. Adjust the rip fence as needed and tighten
the rail-lock lever.
NOTE: If the auxiliary fence is adjusted close
to the blade, ensure that the guard and anti-
kickback device move freely. They may rest on top of the auxiliary fence.
NOTE: If the auxiliary fence is used on the left (beveling) side of the table top, ensure that the
guiding surface of the auxiliary fence faces towards the saw blade when operating.
WARNING
Never stand directly in line with the blade. Thin cut-off pieces can be
thrown out and toward the operator when the anti-kickback device is not
engaged with the wood.
Using The Rip-Fence Pointer
The rip-fence pointer shows the distance from the blade to rip fence.
Right Post A .
The upper white scale indicates the position of the fence relative to the right side of the blade
for the inner position. In this position, the fence can be used from 0 to 21.5 inches (Fig.44, 45)
Right Post B .
The lower black scale indicates the position of the fence relative to the right side of the blade
for the outer position. In this position, the fence can be used from 4.0 to 25.5 inches
(Fig.44, 45).
Left Post C .
The scale has no relevance for this position. The maximum capacity on the left side of the
blade is 14 inches.
