Bevel Crosscutting - Craftsman 113.290650 Owner's Manual

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as
crosscutting except that the wood is cut at an angle
other than 90 ° with the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Set blade elevation to clear top of workpiece by
1/8". Verify this clearance by placing the work next
to the blade.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHTof
the blade. It cannot be used in the groove to the
LEFT because the blade guard will interfere. Hold
the workpiece with your right hand and the
Iockhandle with your left.
Use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT for
aaditional support of long workpieces.
Lay it across the guide bars to support the
workpiece as near to the end as possible.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory)
on the miter gauge for greater accuracy.
In this example a 1" x 6" board will be cut on a 30 °
bevel angle.
Have saw calibrated with tip of blade even with table
top. Have guard in place.
