(3)Auxiliary Fence

When the width of rip is less than 2" (50 mm) the push stick cannot be used because the saw blade guard (see Fig. 23) will interfer with a push stick, use an auxiliary fence and push stick.

w Fasten both together with glue and wood screws.

CAUTION: The push block is used with the auxiliary fence. The 4-3/4" (121 mm) dimension must be the same on both.

(4)Work Support

q Clamp a piece of plywood to a sawhorse with “C” clamps.

w Adjust the height of the plywood to level it with the height of the table surface.
