Other Clamps – Other hold-down devices such as C-clamps
can be used to hold the workpiece firmly against the table
(Fig. 37, 22) and the fence (12). Make sure the clamps are
clear of the cutting path.

To provide sufficient spacing (mini-
mum 6") from hand to saw blade,
extend the sliding fences (Fig. 37, 12) when making ex-
treme bevel, miter, or compound cuts.
Operating Sliding Fences
1. Loosen the sliding fence lock knob (Fig. 37) counter-
clockwise ½ turn to loosen fence.
2. Slide fence (12) to the desired position.
3. Tighten the lock knob clockwise to lock sliding fence posi-
tion.
Removing Sliding Fences
The sliding fence (Fig. 37, 12) may need to be removed when
preforming extreme bevel cuts and most compound cuts.
1. Loosen the sliding fence lock knob (Fig. 37) counter-
clockwise 6 rotations.
2. Lift and remove sliding fence (12).

cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation, causing you to contact the spinning blade.

Blocks – Long pieces need extra support. The base height (3-
1/2" / 89mm) is designed to match the standard lumber of
one 4x or two 2x. Boards of these thicknesses can be used to
create auxiliary support extensions for long workpieces (Fig.
38).
