OPERATION
MAKING AN AUXILIARY FENCE
See Figure 37.
Certain unusual cuts may benefit from a thicker miter fence
(auxiliary fence) due to the size and position of the workpiece.
The holes provided in the miter fence are there for just this
purpose. The miter fence holes are used to secure the
auxiliary fence which requires a piece of wood 1/2 in. thick,
6 in. high, and 23 in. long to make.
NOTE: The auxiliary fence can only be used when the bevel
is set at 0˚. When making a bevel cut, the auxiliary fence
MUST be removed.
To attach the auxiliary fence to the saw:
Place the wood against the miter fence and mark the hole
location from behind the fence using a pencil.
Drill holes through the wood then countersink the holes
on the front of the wood.
Secure the wood to the miter fence using flat head
screws.
With the miter table set at 0˚, make a complete cut
through the auxiliary fence to create the blade slot.
NOTE: Check for interference between the auxiliary fence
and the lower blade guard. Correct any interference
before proceeding.
Make a full 45° left miter cut and a 45° right miter cut
through the completed auxiliary fence.
