(4) Place the platform on the tool so that it
extends equally over each side of the tool
base.
Secure the platform to the tool using four 6
mm (1/4") wood screws through four holes in
the lower fences.
WARNING:
Make sure that the platform is laying flat
•
against the tool base and secured firmly to the
lower fences using the four screw holes
provided. Failure to properly secure the platform
may result in movement and possible kickback
resulting in serious personal injury.
Ensure that the tool is firmly mounted to a
•
stable and flat surface. Failure to properly mount
and secure the tool could cause the tool to be
unstable resulting in a loss of control and/or the
tool falling which may result in serious personal
injury.
(5) Install both of the removed upper fences on
the tool.
WARNING:
Do not use the tool without upper fences
•
installed. The upper fences provide the adequate
support required to cut the workpiece.
If the workpiece is not supported properly it may
move resulting in possible loss of control, kickback
and serious personal injury.

(7) Secure the workpiece firmly against the
upper fences with a vise before cutting.
(8) Make a cut through the workpiece slowly
according to the operation titled "Slide (push)
cutting (cutting wide workpieces)."
WARNING:
Ensure that the workpiece is secured with the
•
vise and make the cut slowly. Failure to properly
secure the workpiece and to cut slowly may cause
the workpiece to move resulting in possible
kickback and serious personal injury.
Beware that after several cuts are performed at
•
various miter angles the platform may become
weakened. If the platform becomes weakened due
to the multiple kerf cuts left in the material the
platform should be replaced. If the weakened
platform is not replaced it may cause the
workpiece to move, during cutting, resulting in
possible kickback and serious personal injury.
