7.2 Blade Elevation and Tilting Adjustment
To adjust the blade elevation :
knob (C) as shown in Fig.24 and turn the elevation
hand wheel (D). When the desired height is
obtained, re-tighten the knob (C). The blade should
be raised 1/8" to 1/4" above the top surface of the
material being cut.
To adjust the blade tilting : L
knob (B) and turn the hand wheel (A). When the

materials, such as MDF or plywood, crosscutting
means cutting across the width of the workpiece.
Crosscutting requires the use of the miter gauge to
position and guide the work. Place the work
against the miter gauge and advance both the
miter gauge and work toward the saw blade.
Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against
the miter gauge and the table. One of the rules in
running a saw is that you never hang onto or touch
a free piece of work. Hold the supported piece, not
the free piece that is cut off. The feed in
crosscutting continues until the work is cut in two,
then the miter gauge and work are pulled back to
the starting point. Before pulling the work back, it is
good practice to give the work a little sideways shift
to move the work slightly away from the saw blade.
Never pick up any short length of free work from
the table while the saw is running. A smart operator
never touches a cut-off piece unless it is at least a
foot long. Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge
when crosscutting. Never use the miter gauge in
combination with the rip fence.
