Failure to comply may cause seriousinjury.Failure to extend the fence will not allow enoughspace for the blade to pass through. This couldresult in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevelangles the saw blade may also contact the fenceresulting in damage to equipment as well aspersonal injury.IMPORTANT: Make a “dry run” of the cut, includingdownward and sliding paths, and resolve anypotential fence obstructions before turning on thesaw.To adjust fence:1. Raise lock handle (F, Figure 8-2) to unlockfence extension.2. Slide fence extension (K) outward toaccommodate desired bevel angle, or slide itcompletely off.3. Push down lock handle (F) to tighten fenceextension in position.Note: Secure fence extensions in position closest tosaw blade when transporting the miter saw.8.4.1 Checking fence squareness1.
