WARNING:
When using a work clamp or
C-clamp to secure your workpiece, clamp
workpiece on one side of the blade only. The
workpiece must remain free on one side of the
blade to prevent the blade from binding in
workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will
cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation
could cause an accident resulting in possible
serious personal injury.
CROSSCUTTING

A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90" crosscut is made with the miter table
set at the zero degree position, Miter crosscuts are
made with the miter table set at some angle other
than zero.
