CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTmNG
is 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
is required,
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 achieve
the desired
angle.
NOTE:
The space
between
the miter gauge
bar and
the groove
in the table
is held
to minimum
during
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
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
using
the
miter
gauge
in the
LEFT
hand
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.
In this example a 1" × 6" board will be cut on a 90 °
angle to its edge.
NOTE: A 1" thick
board is actually
3/4 of an inch
thick.
Have saw calibrated,
with tip of blade even with
table top. Have guard in place.
STEP 1- Set the miter
gauge
to the zero
position.
STEP 2- Turn
MASTER
switch
on and press
[_
key.
Press
number

_
(the decimal
equivalent
of
inches).
Press
_
key. The blade
7/8
will
automatically
raise
to
the
programmed
height.
Blade
elevation
will
be displayed.
STEP 3- Draw
a line
on the
board
at the cut-off
point
-- long enough
for sighting,
position
the
board
against
the miter
gauge
face.
Align
cut-off
point
with
Exact-I-Cut
indicator.
STEP 4- Firmly
hold
the board
in this position.
(A
hold
down
clamp
is recommended
for
greater
accuracy).
Turn on the saw motor.
STEP 5 Guide
the board
through
the blade.
STEP 6 Turn
the motor
"OFF".
Wait for the blade
to stop
before
removing
the boards
and
returning
the miter
gauge
to the starting
position.
STEP 7- Press
_
key.
Press
number
key
lower automatically
until is is even with the
table.
