AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE

When performing multiple or repetitive cut-off operations that result in small cut-off pieces, one inch or less, it is pos- sible for the saw blade to catch the cut-off pieces and project them out of the machine or into the blade guard and housing, possibly causing damage or injury. In order to limit the possibility of personal injury or blade guard damage, an axuiliary wood fence can be mounted to your saw as follows:

Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence (A) Fig. 36. This auxiliary fence is constructed of straight wood approximately 1/2 inch thick by 3 inches high by 18 inches long. NOTE: The auxiliary fence (A) is used ONLY with the saw blade in the 0° bevel position (90° to the table). When bevel cutting (blade tilted) the auxiliary fence will have to be removed.
