CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. Z)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the
fence and secured with a clamping devise before cutting
as shown. 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.
AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. CC)
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 18 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.
NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used only with the saw
blade in the 0° bevel position (90° to the table). The
auxiliary wood fence must be removed when bevel
cutting.
