BEVEL CROSSCUTTI NG is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an ang{e,, • other
than 90 ° with the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of
the blade. _t cannot be used in the groove to the
LEFT because the blade guard
wilm interfere.
Hold
the workpiece
with your right
hand and the lock-
handle with your left hand.
Use the AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK
SUPPORT for
additional
support of the workpiece_
Lay it across the guide bars to support the workpiece
as near to the end as possible.
Use the Hold-Down
Clamp (Optional

on
the miter gauge for greater accuracy.
