Basic Saw Operations (continued)

Auxiliary Fence

Certain types of molding need a fence face extension because of the size and position of the workpiece. Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence. The auxiliary fence is used with the saw in the 0° bevel position only.

1.Place a piece of wood against the miter saw fence. (Wood can have a maximum height of 4-1/2". Check that auxiliary fence assembly does not interfere with head assembly.)

For splinter-free cuts of molding, attach a one piece wood auxiliary fence and then cut openings with miter saw.

2.Mark the locations of the support holes on the wood from the back side of the fence.

3.Drill and countersink the holes on the front of the support board.

4.Attach (each) auxiliary fence using two (2) 3/16" flat head machine screws. With 3/4" auxiliary fence use 1-1/2" long screws. Secure behind metal fence with washer and machine nuts.

Alternate: With 3/4" auxiliary fence, use 1/4" round head wood screws (3/4" long). Drill four (4) pilot holes (smaller than 1/4”) through the auxiliary fence and run screws through rear of metal fence.

5.Make a full depth cut to create the blade slot. Check for interference between the auxiliary fence and the lower blade guard. Make adjustments as necessary.
