OPERATION
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the
blade path in line with the desired cut location. Move the
workpiece to a 1 in. distance from the blade.
4. Start the saw and wait for the blade (1) to come up to full
speed. Never stand directly in line of the saw blade path,
always stand to the side of the blade that you are cutting on.
5. Keep the workpiece (2) against the face of the miter gauge
(3) and flat against the table. Then slowly push the
workpiece through the blade.
6. Do not try to pull the workpiece back with the blade
turning. Turn the switch OFF, and carefully slide the
workpiece out when the blade has completely stopped.
CAUTION
Always position the larger surface of
the workpiece on the table when crosscutting and/or
bevel crosscutting to avoid instability.

USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE
(Fig. 35)
Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an auxilia-
ry facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or short pieces.
Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes through
it and attach it to the miter gauge with screws. Make sure the
facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the saw
blade guard. When cutting long workpieces, you can make a
simple outfeed support by clamping a piece of plywood to a
sawhorse.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (Fig. 36) 0°~45° BLADE BEVEL &
90° MITER ANGLE
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the
blade is at a bevel angle other than 0°.
CAUTION
Always work to the right side of the
blade during this type of cut. The miter gauge must be
in the right side groove because the bevel angle may
cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used
on the left side groove.
1. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten the
blade bevel lock handle.

2. Tighten the miter lock handle (3) at 90°.
3. Hold workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the miter
gauge throughout the cutting operation.

COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (Fig. 37)
0°~45° BLADE BEVEL & 0°~45° MITER ANGLE
This sawing operation combines a miter angle with a bevel angle.
C A U T I O N
Always work to the right side of the blade
during this type of cut. The miter gauge must be in the
right side groove because the bevel angle may cause
the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on the
left side groove.
1. Set the miter gauge (1) to the desired angle.
2. Place the miter gauge in the right side groove of the table.
3. Set the blade (3) bevel to the desired bevel angle and
tighten the blade bevel lock handle.
4. Hold workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the miter
gauge throughout the cutting operation.
Fig. 37
MITERING (Fig. 38) 0°~45° MITER ANGLE
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the
miter gauge is locked at an angle other than 90°.
1. Set the blade (1) to 0° bevel angle and tighten the blade
bevel lock handle.
2. Set the miter gauge (3) at the desired miter angle and lock
in position by tightening the miter gauge locking handle.
3. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the miter
gauge throughout the cutting operation.
