Length Stop

The unit’s flip up length stop can be used when making repetitive cuts of the same length.

To set the stop, simply unscrew the knob, flip the stop into position and tighten the knob (Figure 34).

1.To set the cut length, unlock the base extension clamping lever, reposition the base extension and length stop, and relock the levers.

2.The maximum length that can be cut using the length stop is approximately 20".

If desired, the length stop and knob can be moved to the left base extension. The optional MS1223 Length Stop Kit can also be installed on the left side to pro- vide stops on either side of the saw.

To increase the length that can be cut using the length stop, replace the tool’s base extension rods with the optional MS1222 Extra-Long Base Rod Kit , which increases the maximum length that can be cut using the length stop to approximately 30” on either side of the tool.
