of
the workpiece.
Never
crosscut
free-hand.

YOUR
HANDS
CLOSE
TO THE
PATH

IS
GAINED
BY

THE
SAW,
IT
WILL
BE
NOTICED,
THAT
WHEN
PULLING
THE
SAW
TOWARD
YOU
DURING
CROSSCUTTING,
THE
BLADE
TENDS
TO
FEED
ITSELF
THROUGH
THE
WORK

THE
ROTATION
OF THE BLADE
AND
THE
DIRECTION
OF
THE
FEED.
THEREFORE,
YOU
SHOULD
DEVELOP
THE
HABIT
OF
HOLDING
YOUR
RIGHT

(min.
6 inch)
using a wood
block
on

is the process
of sawing
a board
at any
angle other
than
a 90 ° (square)

ingle
is
a popular
one,
since
two
boards
cut
to
45 °
can
be
assembled
to form
a 90 ° corner
for
producing
a square
or
rectangular
frame.
The
radial
arm is set to the desired
angle
of cut;
yoke
and bevel settings
indexed
at 0 ° (and locked)
as in square crosscutting.
The board
being cut is h#ld firmly
against
the fence
(guide)
and the carriage
pulled
forward
along
the
radial
arm
to
perform
the
desired
cut.
As
in
"Operation
No. 1",
the carriage
should
be returned
to full
rear
position
and
the
saw
blade
allowed
to
come
to
a
complete
stop before
removing
the boards
from
saw table.

crosscutting
is the process
of sawing

set at an angle other
than
90 ° to the saw table.
The
radial
arm
and yoke
are
indexed
at 0 ° and locked,
but the bevel is set to the desired
angle of cut.
The board
is held firmly
against
the fence and
the carriage
pulled
forward
along the radial
arm to produce
the cut.
The carriage

be returned
to full
rearward
position
and the saw blade
allowed
to come to a complete
