Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)

To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter
gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with
bolts/nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not
protrude from the face board.
Non-through cut
Turn off the tool and unplug it before any adjustment.
Remove the blade guard assembly from the riving
knife/spreader.
Adjust the riving knife/spreader to the RIVING KNIFE
POSITION as described earlier in the manual. Before
making a through cut adjust the riving knife/spreader to
the spreader position and install the blade guard
assembly and the side guards before operation.
WARNING:
Conducting a through cut without proper
guarding may result in serious personal injury.
