MAKING MITER GAUGE AUXILIARY
FACING
A template for drilling holes in the miter
gauge is provided on page 155, which allows
you to attach an auxiliary facing 5 to provide
additional support to cut longer pieces. Se-
lect a suitable piece of smooth straight wood,
drill two holes through it and attach it with
screws 6 (Fig. 44).
Example:
A. Drill 1/4"

gauge.
B. Drill 5/32" (4mm)
iary facing board. Recommended board
size: 3/4" (19mm) thick, 3" (76mm)
high, and desired length.
C. Attach with two round head wood
screws No. 12x1-1/2" or M6x35mm 6,
not included (Fig. 44).
Using the Push Stick, Push
Block, and Auxiliary Fence
When feeding the workpiece for a rip cut, use
your hands only when they can be kept at
least 6" (152mm) from the blade (Fig. 45). A
push stick 22 (Fig. 46) or push block PB (Fig.
49) should be used any time the cut would
cause your hands to be within 6" (152mm) of
the blade.
Apply the feed force to the section of the
work piece between the saw blade and the
rip fence. Your other hand should be used
only to guide the workpiece when it is at least
6" from the blade.
When using a push stick or push block, the
trailing end of the board must be square. A
push stick or block against an uneven end
could slip off or push the work away from the
rip fence.
When cutting a workpiece 1/8" (3.2mm) or
less, use the auxiliary fence AF (Fig. 48) or
the thin workpiece fence 25 (Fig. 1) mounted
to the rip fence.

blade with the push stick may result in per-
sonal injury or property damage.
Only use the push stick 22 when the width of
the rip cut is greater than 2" (50mm). When

Be sure screws never protrude above outside
surface of facing.
Be sure facing does not interfere with the
proper operation of the saw blade guard.
NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach facing
so that it extends to the right of the miter
gauge and use the miter gauge in the groove
to the right of the blade.
