NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF

GAUGE WHEN CROSS-CUTTING.

When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same

length, a block of wood (B), can be clamped to the fence

and used as a cut-off gauge as shown in Fig. S4. The

block (B) must be at least 3/4-inch thick to prevent the

cut-off piece from binding between the blade and the

fence during removal from the saw table.

It is important

that this block of wood always be positioned in front

of the saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is

determined, lock the fence and use the miter gauge to

feed the work into the cut.

WHEN USING THE BLOCK (B) FIG.

S4, AS A CUT-OFF GAUGE, IT IS VERY

IMPORTANT THAT THE REAR END OF THE BLOCK

BE POSITIONED SO THE WORK PIECE IS CLEAR OF

THE BLOCK BEFORE IT ENTERS THE BLADE.

MITERING

Mitering (the operation shown in Fig. S5) is the same as

crosscutting except the miter gauge (C) is locked at an

angle other than 0 degrees. Hold the workpiece firmly

against the miter gauge and feed the work slowly into

the blade to prevent the workpiece from moving.

USE CAUTION WHEN STARTING THE

CUT TO PREVENT BINDING OF THE

GUARD AGAINST THE WORKPIECE.

MITER ANGLES GREATER THAN 45

DEGREES MAY FORCE THE GUARD

INTO THE SAW BLADE AND DAMAGE THE GUARD.

BEFORE STARTING THE MOTOR, TEST THE

OPERATION BY FEEDING THE WORK PIECE INTO

THE GUARD. IF THE GUARD CONTACTS THE

BLADE, PLACE THE WORK PIECE UNDER THE

GUARD, NOT TOUCHING THE BLADE, BEFORE

STARTING THE MOTOR.

CERTAIN WORKPIECE SHAPES, SUCH

AS MOULDING, MAY NOT LIFT THE

GUARD PROPERLY. FEED THE WORK SLOWLY TO

START THE CUT.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

Bevel crosscutting (shown in Fig. S6) is the same as

crosscutting except the bevel angle is set to an angle

other than 0 degrees.

WHEN POSSIBLE, USE THE RIGHT

MITER GAUGE SLOT WHEN BEVEL

CROSSCUTTING SO THAT THE BLADE TILTS AWAY

FROM THE MITER GAUGE AND YOUR HANDS.

USE CAUTION WHEN STARTING THE

CUT TO PREVENT BINDING OF THE

GUARD AGAINST THE WORKPIECE.

COMPOUND MITERING

Compound Mitering (shown in Fig. S7) is a combination of

bevel crosscutting and mitering, where the blade is beveled

to an angle other than 0 degrees and the miter gauge is

locked at an angle other than 0 degrees. Always use the

miter slot (D) which allows the blade to tilt away from the

miter gauge and hands.
