OPERATION
MAKING AN AUXILIARY FENCE
See Figure 37.
Certain unusual cuts may benefit from a thicker miter fence (auxiliary fence) due to the size and position of the workpiece. The holes provided in the miter fence are there for just this purpose. The miter fence holes are used to secure the auxiliary fence which requires a piece of wood 1/2 in. thick, 6 in. high, and 23 in. long to make.
NOTE: The auxiliary fence can only be used when the bevel is set at 0˚. When making a bevel cut, the auxiliary fence MUST be removed.
To attach the auxiliary fence to the saw:
Place the wood against the miter fence and mark the hole location from behind the fence using a pencil.
Drill holes through the wood then countersink the holes on the front of the wood.
Secure the wood to the miter fence using flat head screws.
With the miter table set at 0˚, make a complete cut through the auxiliary fence to create the blade slot.
NOTE: Check for interference between the auxiliary fence and the lower blade guard. Correct any interference before proceeding.
Make a full 45° left miter cut and a 45° right miter cut through the completed auxiliary fence.
