Basic Saw Operations
Sliding Base and Fence Extensions
WARNING
So as to provide sufficient (mini-
!
mum 6") spacing from hand to saw
blade, extend the sliding fences and base extensions
when making extreme bevel, miter or compound cuts.
The base extensions can also be used to provide
extra support for long workpieces.
Sliding Base:
1. Loosen the base extension clamping levers.
2. Extend sliding base extensions to the desired
position.
3. Press the levers down to clamp the extensions
into place.
Base Extensions:
• If desired, the height of the top of the base exten-
sions can be adjusted slightly by increasing the dis-
tance between the extension and the main part of
the base.
• If the clamping force of the Base Extension
Clamping Levers needs to be adjusted, simply pull
the red tab outward and rotate it toward the center
of the saw. Let the red tab spring back into a new
groove. When the red tabs are rotated down to
clamp the rods, they will grip the rods with greater
strength.
Sliding Fence:
1. Loosen the fence locking knobs (behind fence).
2. Slide fence to proper position.
3. Tighten knobs to lock fence into place.
To Temporarily Remove Sliding Fence:
Some extreme compound angles make it necessary
to remove one of the sliding fences.
1. Unscrew fence knob until at least 1/2" of thread
shows.
2. Slide fence to its furthest inward position.
3. Lift fence to remove.
4. Tighten knob
After the cut is complete, reinstall the sliding fence.
To reinstall the sliding fence, reverse this procedure.
CAUTION
!
During transportation, sliding base
extensions
always be secured in the fully closed position.
See page 21 for information about other types of
workpiece support.
