The long bar with scale on top is used for cutting widths from where the scale starts to the blade. Notice the block is positioned against the bottom stop that is close to the slider table. This calibrates the top scale and is adjustable for blade thickness etc.

For wider widths a short bar is inserted with a fixed stop on the end and you now read the bottom scale. You can also use the longer bar for this by putting the fix stop on it. If making repeat cuts where you might flip the unit up and down the bottom fixed stop can slide over and lock anywhere on the bottom bar to keep position.

brilliant design, does not get in the way when not in use, probably the best parallel fence on the market. It would be fantastic if it had a digital readout.
