length Stop (Model 4410 only)
Use only one length stop. Using ! WARNING length stops on both sides of blade,
could trap workpiece and could cause workpiece to be thrown.
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 38).
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 18".
If desired, the length stop and knob can be moved to the left base extension. The optional MS1230 Length Stop Kit can also be installed on the left side to provide 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 MS1229
