1. Loosen the lock knob.
2. With the miter gauge in the miter-gauge groove, rotate the gauge until the desired angle is
reached on the scale.
3. Tighten the lock knob securely (Fig. 50).
Miter Gauge Auxiliary Facing
The TS6307-00 miter gauge is designed to
accept an Auxiliary Facing with pre-molded
holes for fastening a suitable piece of smooth
straight wood. Utilize the miter gauge as a
template to attach with proper fasteners (Fig.
51).
Example:
A. Drill 5/32" dia. holes through
thick, 3" high, and desired length.
B. Attach with two No. 12 round-head wood
screws 1-1/2" long, not included (Fig. 51).
Be sure that the screws never protrude
above the outside surface of facing. Be
sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the saw-blade guard.
NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach the facing so that it extends to the right of the miter
gauge and use the miter gauge in the groove to the right of the blade.
Crosscutting
CROSSCUTTING 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 the
miter gauge set at 90° (Fig. 52).
Make sure that the blade guard is installed
for all "through sawing" operations (when the
sawblade cuts entirely through the thickness of
the workpiece).Replace guard IMMEDIATELY
after completion of dadoing or rabbeting cuts.
Set the blade extend approximately 1/8" above
the top of workpiece. Additional blade exposure
would increase the hazard potential.
Do not stand directly in front of the blade in
case of a THROWBACK (small cut-off piece
caught by the back of the blade and thrown toward the operator).Stand to either side of the
blade.
Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path of the blade.
If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN THE SWITCH OFF before attempting to free
the blade.
Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the workpiece through the cut, to support long or
heavy workpieces, to remove cut-off pieces of material, or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the table. REMOVE them by pushing them
OFF the table with a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back at you by the rear of the
blade.
