Crosscut
Kerfs
A kerr or shallow

and fence to serve as a path for the blade
and to ensure that the blade cuts all the way
through the workpiece.

bevel angle*
- unlock carriage
lock and push blade to
rearmost
position,
behind fence
- lower blade* to just clear table
- lower pawls or riving knife to clear fence
by 1/4".
* raise clear plastic
guard before changing
bevel angle and when lowering
beveled
blade, otherwise
it may jam into table.
