Making an auxiliary fence

(Fig . 45)
Depending on the size and position of the
workpiece, certain unusual cuts may benefit
from the additional support that can be
provided by an auxiliary fence.
provided in the sliding fence are used to secure
an auxiliary fence in place.
WARNING
bevel is set at 0° . When making a bevel cut,
the auxiliary fence MUST be removed.
NOTICE: It may be necessary to adjust the
sliding miter fence to ensure proper clearance
prior to installing auxiliary fence.
To attach the auxiliary fence to the saw:
Make sure the fence-adjusting screw is tightened securely.
1. Place one 10-in. long piece of wood against the miter fence and align it with the left edge
of the miter table.
NOTICE: The appropriate height and thickness of the fence will vary, based on the miter angle
and the material being cut.
2. Clamp the wood tightly against the fence and drive wood screws from the back of the
fence through the two holes and into the auxiliary fence. If necessary, first drill a pilot hole
into the wood to prevent splitting. Remove the clamp when finished.
NOTICE: Make sure that the screws you use to attach the auxiliary fence do not pass through
the front face of the fence and the length of the screws will not put them in the path of the
blade at any angle.
3. Make a full left miter cut through the auxiliary fence.
