RIPPING ON LEFT SIDE OF SAW BLADE

In some cases it may be desirable to use the fence on the left side of the saw blade. This is accomplished by repositioning the fence (A) Figures 54 and 55, fence clamp bar (B) and lock knobs (C) so that the fence (A) will be attached to the right side of the fence body, as shown in Fig. 55. The complete fence assembly (D) Fig. 55, can easily be moved to the left side of the saw table.

USING THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAUGE

The fence can be used as a cut-off gage when cross cutting a number of pieces to the same length. IMPORTANT: When using the fence as a cut-off gage, it is very important that the rear end of the fence be positioned in front of the saw blade. When using the fence as a cut-off gage, simply position the fence (A) to the front as shown in Fig. 56, or purchase a 12" long fence (B) catalog # 34-878, as shown in Fig. 57. A typical operation using the 12" long fence (B) as a cut-off gage is shown in Fig. 58.
