SLIDING MITER FENCES

The sliding miter fences help support the workpiece securely

cuts. Some cuts may require that the sliding fence be
removed completely to avoid interference between the fence
and the blade.
Loosen the fence lock knob before attempting to slide the
fences or lift them for removal. Once the desired position of
the fence is determined, retighten the fence screw securely.
