WORK SUPPORT EXTENSION/NARROW RIPPING FENCE (FIG. 15, 16)
The table saw is equipped with a narrow ripping fence that also supports work that extends beyond the saw table.
To use the narrow ripping fence in the work support position, rotate it from its stored position as shown in Figure 16, and slide the pins into the lower sets of slots on both ends of the fence. To use the narrow ripping fence in the narrow ripping position, snap the pins into the upper sets of slots on both ends of the fence.
This feature will allow 2" (51 mm) of extra clearance to the blade. If more clearance is necessary, follow directions for making an auxiliary fence under Narrow Rip Auxiliary Fence in the Operation section.
