Porter-Cable 3700L instruction manual Auxiliary Wood Fence, General Cutting Operations

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE

When performing multiple or repetitive operations that result in small cut-off pieces (one inch or less), the saw blade can catch the cut-off pieces and project them out of the machine or into the blade guard and housing, causing damage or injury. To limit the risk, mount an auxiliary wood fence on your saw (Fig. 34).

Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence (A) Fig. 34. This auxiliary fence is constructed of straight wood approximately 1/2" thick by 3" high by 20" long. NOTE: The auxiliary fence (A) is used ONLY with the saw blade in the 0 degree bevel position (90 degrees to the table). When bevel cutting (blade tilted), remove the auxiliary fence.
