Repetitive Cutting (Figure 21)
REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity
of pieces the same length without having to mark each
piece (Figure 21).
When making repetitive cuts from a long work piece,
make sure it is supported.
Warning: Never use the rip fence as a length
stop because the cutoff piece could bind
between the fence and the blade causing a
kickback.
When making repetitive cuts, clamp a block of wood 3" long to the table at desired length to act as a
length stop.
Warning: When clamping the block, make sure that the end of the block is well in front of
the saw blade. Be sure it is clamped securely.
Slide the work piece along the miter gauge until it touches the block ... hold it securely.
Make the cut ... pull the work piece back ... push the cut-off piece off the table with a long Push
Stick ... DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK IT UP AS THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS.
Miter Cutting (Figure 22)
MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle
other than 90° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same
procedure as you would for crosscutting (Figure 22).
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and tighten
lock handle.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the
table.
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 hand.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock handle
with your left hand.
Before cutting, always make sure you securely tighten the lock handle to maintain the desired angle.
