Craftsman 137.21214 operating instructions Workpiece Support FIG, Auxilary Wood Fence FIG. W

WORKPIECE SUPPORT (FIG. V)

Long pieces need extra support. The support should be placed under the workpiece. Keep your hands out of the “no-hands” zone, positioned 7-1/4” or more away from the blade. The support must let the workpiece lay flat on the worktable during the cutting operation.

NOTE: When mounted on a flat surface, the miter saw table is 3-1/8 inches high.

AUXILARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. W)

When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-off pieces of one inch or less, it is possible for the saw blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly causing damage or injury. To minimize this an auxiliary wood fence can be mounted to your saw.

Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood fence. This fence is constructed of straight auxiliary wood approximately 3/4 inch thick by 2-1/2 inches high by 18 inches long.

Attach the wood fence securely and make a full depth cut to make a blade slot.

Check for interference between the wood fence and the lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary.

NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used only with the saw blade in the 0° bevel position (90° to the table). The auxiliary wood fence must be removed when bevel cutting.
