Holes are provided in the saw fence
to attach an auxiliary wood fence. This
fence is to be constructed of straight
wood approximately 3/4 in. thick by
2-1/2 in. high by 22 in. long.
Attach the wood fence securely and
make a full depth cut to make a
blade slot.
Check for interference between the
wood fence and the lower blade guard.
Adjust if necessary.
NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used
only with the saw blade in the 0° bevel
position (90° to the table). The auxiliary
wood fence must be removed when
bevel cutting.
CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. QQ)
Base moldings and many other
moldings can be cut on a compound
miter saw. The setup of the saw
depends on molding characteristics
and application, as shown. Perform
practice cuts on scrap material to
achieve best results:
1. Always make sure moldings rest
firmly against fence and table. Use
hold-down, crown molding vice
or C-clamps, whenever possible,
and place tape on the area being
clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut
area prior to making the cut. Mark
the cut line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to
an incorrect blade application and
thinness of the material.
