So as to provide sufficient (mini-
mum 6”) spacing from hand to saw
blade, extend the sliding fences and base exten-
sions when making extreme bevel, miter or com-
pound cuts.
The base extensions can also be used to provide
extra support for long workpieces.
Sliding Base:
1. Loosen the base extension clamping levers
(Figure 29).
2. Extend sliding base extensions to the desired po-
sition.
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
distance 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 centermost 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.
During transportation, sliding base
extensions and fences should al-
ways be secured in the fully closed position.
See page 22 for information about other types of
workpiece support.
