Compound Miter Crosscutting

Compound miter cutting is a combination of miter cutting

and bevel crosscutting,. The cut is made at an angle other

than 90° to both the edge and the bottom flat side of the

wood.

Adjust the miter gauge and tile blade to the desired

angle_,oMake sure miter' gauge is locked.

oAlways use the miter' gauge in the groove to the right of

the blade. It cannot beused in the groove to the left

because the blade guard will interfere.. Hold the work-

piece with your' right hand and tile lock knob with your

left hand

Using the Rip Fence

Additional Safety Instructions for Rip Cuts

Before starting:

• Never use the miter gauge when ripping

• Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade.

• When thru-sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push

block whenever the fence must be between 1/2 and 2

inches from the blade_

o Never thru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 .inch. (See

"Basic Saw Operations-Ripping and Bevel Ripping"

section).

o Never rip anything shorter than 10'Uong.

oWhen using a push stick or push block, the trailing end

of the workpiece must be square. A push stick or push

block against an uneven end could slip off or push the

workpiece away from the fence,.

=A featherboard can help guide tile workpiece_ (see

"Basic Saw Operation-Using Featherboards for Thru-

Sawing.," section)

° Always use featherboards for' any non thru-sawing rip

type cuts. (see "Basic Saw Operations-Using Feather-

boards for Non Thru-sawing" section)

oTo avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure

the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade,

° Before thru-sawing, check the anti-kickback pawls., the

pawls must stop a kickback once it has started°

Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawls when points

become dullo

o Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may

be cut on your saw_ However, since these are usually

quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may

not stop a kickback. Therefore, be especially careful in

your set-up and cutting procedures.

While Thru-sawing: :,

oTo avoid kickbacks and slips ir_to the blade, always

push forward on the section of the workpiece between

the sawblade and the rip fence,, Never push forward on

the piece being cut off.
