WARNING: NEVER USE THE BIESEMEYER F E N C E S Y S T E M A S A C U T- O F F G A G E W H E N CROSS-CUTTING WITHOUT USING (B) FIG. 121A.
When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length, a block of wood (B) can be clamped to the fence and used as a cut-off gage as shown in Fig. 121A. It is important that this block of wood always be positioned in front of the saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is determined, secure the fence and use the miter gage to feed the work into the cut.
This block allows the cut-off piece to move freely along the table surface without binding between the fence and the saw blade, thereby eliminating the possibility of kickback and injury to the operator.
IMPORTANT: When using the block (B) Fig. 121A, as a cut- off gage, it is very important that the rear end of the block be positioned so the work piece is clear of the block before it enters the blade.

THE UNIFENCE CAN BE USED AS A CUT-OFF GAGE
The fence can be used as a cut-off gage when cross cutting a number of pieces to the same length.
IMPORTANT: WHEN USING THE FENCE AS A CUT- OFF GAGE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE REAR END OF THE FENCE BE POSITIONED IN FRONT OF THE SAW BLADE.
When using the fence as a cut-off gage, simply position the fence (A) to the front (Fig. 122), or purchase the accessory 12″ long fence (B), Fig. 123. Fig. 124 illustrates a typical operation using the accessory 12″ long fence (B) as a cut-off gage.
