Sliding Fence
The sliding fence must be extended to the left or right when making bevel cuts. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Failure to extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space for the blade to pass through. This could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the fence resulting in damage to equipment as well as personal injury.
The right side sliding fence must be removed when making any right bevel angle cuts greater than 35º in combination with any right hand miter angle. This fence must also be removed whenever a 45º bevel angle is desired with a miter angle greater than 22.5º.
To adjust the sliding fence (refer to Figure 24):
1.Unlock the fence cam locking lever (A) (shown locked in Figure 24) by pushing it toward the rear of the machine.
2.Extend the fence (B) by sliding it out (C) to match the degree of the bevel cut. Lock the fence cam locking lever (A) as shown.
Note: Secure the sliding fence in position closest to the saw blade when transporting the saw.

To avoid injury from materials being thrown, always unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting, and remove small pieces of material from the table cavity. The table insert may be removed for this purpose, but always reattach the table insert prior to performing a cutting operation.
