BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. YY)
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°.
WARNING
!
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. Lower the blade to the down position.
2. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired
angle, and tighten the blade lock
handle.
3. Tighten the miter gauge lock
handle (2) at 90°.
4. Hold workpiece (3) firmly against the
face of the miter gauge throughout
the cutting operation.
