CROSSCUTTING

CROSSCUTTING is known as cutting wood across

the grain, at 90° , or square with both the edge and

the flat side of the wood. This is done with miter

gauge set at "0".

The graduations on the miter gauge provide

accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases

where extreme accuracy Js required, when making

angle cuts, for example, make a trial cut and then

recheck it with an accurate square, or protractor.

If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled

slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.

NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and

the groove in the table is held to a minimum durin.(

manufacturing.

For maximum accuracy when using the miter

gauge, always "favor" one side of the groove in the

table. In other words, don't move the miter gauge

from side to side while cutting, but keep one side of

the bar riding against one side of the groove.

NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the

miter gauge head. This will help prevent the

workpiece from "creeping" while it is being cut.

The Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory)

should be used on the miter gauge for greater

accuracy.

The miter gauge may be used in either of the

grooves in the table. Make sure it is locked.

When cutting long workpieces, invert AUXILIARY

FENCE/WORK SUPPORT and position it on top of

the guide bars to support the workpieces as near to

the end as possible. If this does not adequately

support the workpiece, you can make a simple

support by clamping a piece of plywood to a

sawhorse.

groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the miter

gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock

handle with your right.

When using the RIGHT Hand groove, hold the

workpiece with your right hand and the Iockhandle

with your left hand.

REPETITIVE CUTTING

REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a

quantity of pieces the same length without having to

mark each piece.

1. Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for

cutting duplicate pieces 6 in. long and longer.

2. DO NOT FEED workpiece with RIGHT Hand,

merely guide it, making sure that it does not bind

or pinch the sawblade.

When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece,

make sure it is adequately supported.

Use the N old-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on

the miter gauge for greater accuracy.
