OPERATION

(continued)

CROSSCUTTING

• NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop when

crosscutting.

• The cut-off piece must never be confined in any

through-sawing (cutting completely through the

workpiece) operation—to prevent pinching blade

which may result in a thrown workpiece and possibly

injury.

• When using a block as a cut-off gauge, the block

must be at least 3/4-inch (19mm) thick. It is very

important that the rear end of the block be secured in

a position where the workpiece is clear of the block

before it enters the blade to prevent binding of the

workpiece.

You can use the miter gauge in either table slot on non-

bevel cuts. To increase surface area of miter gauge

face, add an auxiliary face (See Cutting Aids section on

page 27 of this manual.)

To make a crosscut, refer to Figure 26 and follow this

process:

1. Remove rip fence.

2. Make sure bevel angle is set to 0°.

3. Set blade to correct height for workpiece.

4. Place miter gauge in either miter slot.

5. Set miter gauge to 0° and tighten miter gauge lock

knob

6. Hands must remain at least 6 inches from blade

throughout entire cut. If workpiece is too small to

keep hands at least 6 inches away from the blade,

select a larger workpiece, or attach an auxiliary face

to the miter gauge and attach workpiece to auxiliary

face, For instructions about making auxiliary faces,

see Cutting Aids section on page 28 of this manual.

7. Make sure the workpiece is clear of the blade - at

least 1 inch or 25mm away - before starting the saw.

8. Turn saw on.

9. Let blade build up to full speed before moving

workpiece into the blade.

10. Hand closest to blade should be placed on miter

gauge lock knob and hand farthest from blade

should hold workpiece firmly against the miter gage

face. Do not push or hold onto the free or cut-off

side of the workpiece.

11. Slowly feed the workpiece rearward all the way

through the saw blade. Do not overload the motor

by forcing the workpiece into the blade.

12. When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade

to come to a complete stop before removing cut off

piece from table.

FIGURE 26

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except

the bevel angle (A) is set to an angle other than 90°.

When making a bevel crosscut, place the miter gauge

in the right miter slot so that the blade is tilted away

from the gauge and hands. See Figure 27.

MITER CUTS

Miter cuts are cross cuts with the miter gauge set at

an angle other than 90°. For instructions about setting

miter gauge angles, see Preparing to Cut. To adjust the

preset index miter stops, see Adjusting the Miter Stops

on page 28 of this manual.

• Miter angles less than 45˚ may force the blade guard

assembly into the saw blade causing damage to the

blade guard assembly and personal injury. Before

starting the motor, test the operation by feeding

the workpiece into the blade guard assembly. If the

blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the

workpiece under the blade guard assembly but not

touching the blade - before starting the motor.

• Certain workpiece shapes, such as molding may not

lift the blade guard assembly properly. With the power

off, feed the workpiece slowly into the blade guard

area and until the workpiece touches the blade. If the

blade guard assembly contacts the blade, place the

workpiece under the blade guard assembly - but not

touching the blade - before starting the motor.
