Basic Saw Operations (Continued)
Workpiece Support
Long pieces need extra supports. The supports should
be placed along the workpiece so the workpiece does
not sag and your hand holding the workpiece is posi-
tioned 4" or more from the blade path. The support
should let the workpiece Iay flat on the base and work
table during the cutting operation
NOTE: When mounted on a large flat surface, the
miter saw table is 3-1/2" high. Two finished 2x4's on
their sides can be used as work support extension.
Auxiliary Fence
Certain types of molding need a fence face extension
due 1:othe size and position of the workpiece_ Slots are
provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence. Get a
straight piece of wood typically 1/2 inch thick by 3-1/4
inches high by 19-1/4 inches long. To attach auxiliary
fence, place the piece of wood on the miter saw fence.
Mark the locations from the backside of the miter saw
fence. Drill 200"-250" holes, then countersink the
holes on front of wood to receive #10 fiat head screws.
Attach the auxiEiary fence securely and make a full
depth cut. This will create the blade slot Check for
interference between the auxiliary fence and lower
bfade guard Correct any interference before proceed-
ing. The auxiliary fence is used with the saw in the 0°
bevel position If a bevel cut is desired, the auxiliary.
fence will have to be removed
