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 miter gauge setat "0".
The
graduations
on the
miter
gauge
provide
accuracy for average woodworking.
In some cases
where extreme accuracy is required, make a trial cut
and then recheck
it with an accurate
square,
or
protractor.
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled
slightly to achieve the desired angle.
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and
the groove in the table is held to minimum
during
manufacturing.
For maximum
accuracy
when using the miter
gauge, always "favor" one side of the groove in the
table. In other words, don't move the miter gauge
from side to side while cutting, but keep one side of
the bar riding against one side of the groove.
NOTE: Glue a piece of sandpaper
to the face of the
miter
gauge
head.
This will
help prevent
the
workpiece from "creeping"
while it is being cut.
The
Hold-Down
Clamp
(Optional
Accessory)
should
be used on the miter gauge for greater
accuracy.
The miter gauge
may be used in either of the
grooves in the table. Make sure it is locked.
SANDPAPER
When using
the miter gauge
in the LEFT hand
groove, hold the workpiece
firmly against the miter
gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock
handle with your right.
When
using
the
RIGHT
Hand groove,
hold the
workpiece
with your right hand and the Iockhandle
with your left hand.
In this example a 1" x 6" board will be cut on a 90 °
angle to its edge.
NOTE; A 1" thick board is actually
3/4 of an inch
thick.
Have saw calibrated,
with tip of blade even with
table top. Have guard in place.

Blade elevation
will

STEP 3- Draw a line on the board at the cut-off
point -- long enough for sighting,
position
the board against the miter gauge face.
Align
cut-off

indicator.
STEP 4- Firmly hold the board in this position.
(A
hold

clamp
is recommended
for
greater accuracy).
Turn on the saw motor.
STEP 5 Guide the board through
