3. NEVER USE THE RIP FENCE AS A LENGTH STOP
BECAUSE THE CUT-OFF PIECE COULD BIND
BETWEEN THE FENCE AND "["HE BLADE CAUS-
ING A KICKBACK.
4. When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 inches,
clamp a block of wood 2 inches tong to the table to act
as a length stop. Do not clamp directly to the bottom

will not grip properly. Place a small block of wood
between the bottom edge of the table and the "C"
clamp.

workpiece. When clamping the block, make
sure that the end ot the b_ock is wel_ _n front of
the sawblade. Be sure it is clamped securely.

touches the block, hold it securely. Use Hold-Down
Clamp _optional accessory} for greater accuracy.

wait for blade to stop and remove cut off piece before
continuing.
