the lower blade guard (Fig. 38, 26). Make adjustments
as necessary.
6. For best splinter-free cuts, use the chop cut method.
7. When making slide cuts, the center must be notched out
per pattern (Fig. 40).
Making an Auxiliary Fence
Check for interference between
auxiliary fence and saw head com-
ponents by performing a dry run. Fence interference can
prevent proper saw operation and cause injury and/or tool
damage.
Be aware of the path of the saw
blade. Make a dry run with the saw
OFF by conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and observe
the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least
six (6) inches (152mm) away from the projected path of
the saw blade.
Certain types of molding need a fence face extension because
of the size and position of the workpiece. Holes are provided
in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence. Only use the auxiliary
fence with the saw in the 0° bevel position.
1. To create an auxiliary fence (Fig. 39), place a piece of
wood against the sliding fence (Fig. 37, 12). Wood can
have a maximum height of 4-1/2” (114mm). Check that
auxiliary fence assembly (Fig. 39) does not interfere with
the saw head assembly (Fig. 38, 28).
2. Mark the locations of the support holes on the wood from
the back side of the fence.
3. Drill and countersink the holes on the front of the support
board.
4. To fasten from front of fence: Attach (each) auxiliary
fence using two (2) 3/16” (M5) flat head machine screws
(Fig. 39). With 3/4” (19mm) auxiliary fence, use 1-1/2”
(38mm) long screws. Secure behind metal fence with
washer and machine nuts.
To fasten from back of fence: With 3/4” (19mm) aux-
iliary fence, use 1/4” (M6) round head wood screws
(3/4”/20mm long). Drill four pilot holes through auxiliary
fence and run screws from rear of metal fence.
5. Make a full depth cut to create the blade slot. Check for
interference between the auxiliary fence (Fig. 39) and
