AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. EE)
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 provides additional depth of cut).
This fence should be constructed of
straight auxiliary wood approximately
3/4 in. thick by 1-1/2 in. high by 16 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.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT (FIG. DD)
Long pieces need extra support. The
support should be placed under the
workpiece. Keep your hand holding the
workpiece positioned 6-3/4 inches or
more away from the blade. The support
must let the workpiece lay flat on the
work table during the cutting operation.
NOTE: When mounted on a flat
surface, the saw table is 3-1/4 inches
high.
