OPERATION

There are six basic cuts: 1) the cross cut,

2) the rip cut, 3) the miter cut, 4) the bevel cross cut,

5) the bevel rip cut, and 6) the compound (bevel)

miter cut. All other cuts are combinations of these

basic six. Operating procedures for making each kind

of cut are given later in this section.'

Д WARNING: Always make sure the blade guard

and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working

properly when making these cuts to avoid

possible injury.

Cross cuts are straight 90' cuts made across the grain

of the workpiece. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90

degree angle to the blade, and the blade is vertical.

Rip outs are made with the grain of the wood. To

avoid kickback while making a rip cut, make sure one

side of the wood rides firmly against the rip fence.

Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle to the

blade other than 90'. The blade is vertical. Miter cuts

tend to “creep" away from the miter fence during

cutting. This can be controlled by holding the

workpiece securely against the miter fence.

Д WARNING: Always use a pushstick with small

pieces of wood, and also to finish the cut when

ripping a long narrow piece of wood, to prevent

your hands from getting close to the blade.

Bevel cuts are made with an angled blade. Bevel

cross cuts are across the wood grain, and bevel rip

cuts are with the grain. The rip fence must always be

on the right side of the blade for bevel rip cuts.

Compound (or bevel) miter cuts are made with an

angled blade on wood that is angled to the blade. Be

thoroughly familiar with making cross cuts, rip cuts,

bevel cuts, and miter cuts before trying a compound

miter cut.

WARNING: All blades and cutting accessories

must be rated for at least 5,000 rpm to prevent

possible injury.
