Fence Setup
The fence must be used to support the workpiece whenever making cuts with this machine. The fence can be setup for "Standard Cutting" and for "Miter Cutting," depending on which way it is attached to the table. Always verify that the fence is set parallel to the blade before cutting.
The fence must be parallel to the blade to keep the workpiece from binding during the cut and causing a kickback. Make sure the fence is parallel to the blade by ensuring that both ends of the fence are firmly secured at the same distance from the blade.
Standard Cutting
For this type of cutting, the fence is setup facing the blade, as shown in Figure 12. This position is used when making rip cuts, cross cuts, and bev- eled cuts. The workpiece is pressed against the face of the fence for support as it is fed through the blade.
To setup the fence for standard cutting:
1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2.Attach each end of the fence with the includ- ed knobs, flat washers, and lock plates, so the fence is facing the blade, as shown in Figure 12.

For this type of cutting, the fence is setup facing away from the blade, as shown in Figure 13. This position is required to use the miter sled for 45° miter cuts.
To setup the fence for miter cutting:
1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2.Attach each end of the fence with the includ- ed knobs, flat washers, and lock plates, so the fence is facing away from the blade.
3.Install the miter sled on the fence, as shown in Figure 13.
