Sliding Fences and Base Extensions
So as to provide sufficient (mini- ! WARNING mum 6”) spacing from hand to saw
blade, extend the sliding fences and base extensions when making extreme bevel, miter or compound cuts.
The base extensions can also be used to provide extra support for long workpieces.
Sliding Base:
1.Loosen the base extension clamping levers.
2.Extend sliding base extensions to the desired position.
3.Press the levers down to clamp the extensions into place.
Base Extensions:
•If desired, the height of the top of the base exten- sions can be adjusted slightly by increasing the dis- tance between the extension and the main part of the base.
•If the clamping force of the Base Extension Clamping Levers needs to be adjusted, simply pull the red tab outward and rotate it toward the center of the saw. Let the red tab spring back into a new groove. When the red tabs are rotated down to clamp the rods, they will grip the rods with greater strength.
Sliding Fence:
1.Loosen the fence locking knobs (behind fence).
2.Slide fence to proper position.
3.Tighten knobs to lock fence into place.
To Temporarily Remove Sliding Fence:
Some extreme compound angles make it necessary to remove one of the sliding fences.
1.Unscrew fence knob until at least 1/2” of thread shows.
2.Slide fence to its furthest inward position.
3.Lift fence to remove.
4.Tighten knob
After the cut is complete, reinstall the sliding fence.
To reinstall the sliding fence, reverse this procedure.
!CAUTION During transportation, sliding base
extensions and fences should
always be secured in the fully closed position.
See page 22 for information about other types of workpiece support.
