WARNING
narrow cut-off pieces (2" or less in width) may be
propelled at high speed over the fence and beyond
the back of the tool (see figure 48). Use auxiliary
fence as instructed and shown in figures below.
A crown molding auxiliary fence is used to add support
to the cut-off workpiece such as large crown molding
when cut flat on the table (see figure 49). It will reduce
splintering and movement of the unsupported cut-off
piece of wood after the cut is made.
Making Crown Molding Auxiliary fence
Required pieces:
3/4" thick wood board
4 – Flat Head Machine Screws
1/4"diameter x 2-1/2" long
4 – 1/4" Flat Washers
4 – 1/4" Nuts
1. Remove the sliding fence from the tool (see page 25).
2. Build auxiliary fence by following the pattern and
illustrations on page 38.
3. Add 4 holes as dimensioned on pattern -or- add
holes following the next steps:
a. Cut wood to the outside dimensions shown and
temporarily attach to saw's stationary fence using
two C-clamps.
b. Use 1/4" drill bit to drill first through existing holes
in the rear of the stationary fence and then through
the wood.
c. Remove wood, countersink the front of the wood
and permanently attach to saw's fence with
hardware shown below.
first-Time Use of the Auxiliary fence
NOTE: The first time the auxiliary fence is used, it will be
cut through by the saw blade – cutting through creates
minimal clearance which reduces splintering on the
workpiece. Set the miter angle and the bevel angle
required before making the first cut.
WARNING
Off by conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and
observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep
hands at least six (6) inches away from the projected
path of the saw blade.
Clamp the workpiece, then make cut – example:
compound cutting large crown molding flat on the table.

When making a compound cut on a
molding lying flat on the table,
Be aware of the path of the saw
blade. Make a dry run with the saw
