Repetitive Crosscutting
Repetitive crosscutting is the repeated
and continuous cutting of many pieces
of lumber to the same length with the
saw placed in the crosscut position.
See Accessories for information on a
lower blade guard for use in repetitive
90° (0 miter) crosscutting.
Use a carriage stop to define distance
needed to pull blade through to com-
plete each cut. To make a carriage stop:
1. Cut piece of lxl lumber to 2" long.
2. Clamp piece on left inside surface of
the radial arm, so that blade carriage
stops at distance needed to complete
cut. Check that clamp does not interfere
with hand grip on saw handle. Re-adjust
if needed.
