Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that
are close to or may become TRAPPED inside the
Barrier Guard Assembly 26 while the saw is RUN-
NING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or
cause a KICKBACK. Turn the saw OFF. After the
Blade 31 has stopped turning, lift the Barrier Guard
Assembly 26 and remove the piece.
If the workpiece is warped, place the CONCAVE
side DOWN. This will help prevent the workpiece
from rocking while it is being cut.
The graduations on the Miter Gauge 14 provide
sufficient accuracy for average woodworking. When
extreme ac curacy is required, for example, when
making angle cuts, make a trial cut, and then re-
check it with an accurate square or protractor.
If necessary, the body of the Miter Gauge 14 can be
swiveled slightly to compensate for any inaccuracy.
TIP: The space between the bar of the Miter Gauge
14 and the Miter Gauge Slot 69 in the Table 13 is
held to a minimum during manu fac turing. For maxi-
mum accuracy, when using the Miter Gauge 14, al-
ways "favor" one side of the Miter Gauge Slot 69 in
the Table 13. Don't move the Miter Gauge 14 from
side to side while cutting, but keep one side of the
bar of the Miter Gauge 14 riding against one side of
the Miter Gauge Slot 69.
TIP: Glue a piece of sandpaper to the face of the
miter gauge body of the Miter Gauge 14. This will
help prevent the workpiece from "creep ing" while
it is being cut.
The Miter Gauge 14 may be used in either of the
Miter Gauge Slots 69 in the Table 13.
Make sure the Miter Gauge 14 is locked.
When using the Miter Gauge 14 in the LEFT hand
Miter Gauge Slot 69, hold the workpiece firmly
against the body of the Miter Gauge 14 with your
left hand, and grip the Miter Gauge Lock Knob 109
with your right hand.
When using the RIGHT hand Miter Gauge Slot 69,
hold the workpiece with your right hand and grip
the Miter Gauge Lock Knob 109 with your left hand.

Repetitive Crosscutting
(Fig. 82)
Never use rip fence as length
stop. Cutoff piece can bind be-
tween Rip Fence and Blade causing KICKBACK.
Mount Facing Block in front of
Blade so that workpiece does
not contact Blade and Facing Block. Workpiece
can bind between Facing Block and Blade causing
Kickback.
Repetitive crosscutting is cutting a quantity of piec-
es the same length without having to mark each
piece. When making repetitive cuts from a long
workpiece, make sure it is supported.
To make repetitive crosscuts:
1. When making repetitive cuts, securely attach
the facing block to the Rip Fence 9 using a
clamp. (See "Making the Facing Block" on page
43.) Select a clamp that does not interfere
with the workpiece after the Facing Block 102
is clamped.
2. Slide the Rip Fence 9 (with the facing block) to
a position which gives you the length of board
that you want to repeat, and lock the Rip Fence
9 in position.
NOTE: If you are using the Rip Fence Scale 23
on the saw's front Rail 10 during the set-up, be
sure to move the Rip Fence 9 an additional 3"
(76.2 mm) to compensate for the depth of the
Facing Block 102.
3. Slide the workpiece along the Miter Gauge 14
until it touches the Facing Block 102. Hold the
workpiece securely.
4. Make a "dry run" (practice). With the saw un-
plugged, move the Miter Gauge 14 and work-
piece along the Facing Block 102 until it touch-
