To reduce the risk of kickback when cross-
cutting a workpiece with the miter gauge,
remove the fence or move it aside. Do not
use the miter gauge and fence at the same
time.
Checking Fence
Parallelism
Note: It's permissible for the back of the
fence to pivot outward
1
⁄64" from being parallel
with the blade. This creates a slightly larger
opening between the fence and the blade,
at the rear of the blade, to reduce the risk
of workpiece binding or burning as it is fed
through the cut.
