CROSSCUTTING (FIG. T)
NOTE:
1. Generally cross cutting is cutting across the grain.
2. Do not perform cross cutting "free hand". Use the
mitre gauge for cross cutting and remove the rip
fence from the table.
WARNING
1. Before cross cutting, confirm the following items:
a. Riving knife is properly aligned with the saw
blade.
b. The workpiece must have a straight edge
against the mitre gauge and must not be
warped, twisted or bowed.
2. Keep both hands away from the saw blade and
away from the path of the saw blade.
1. Adjust the saw blade height so it is about 3.2 mm
above the top of the workpiece.
2. Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the
mitre gauge. Keep the workpiece about 25 mm away
from the saw blade.
3. Turn on the switch and allow the saw blade (1) to
come up to full speed.
4. Keep the workpiece (2) against the table and mitre
gauge (3), slowly feed the workpiece rearward all the
way through the saw blade. Continuously push the
workpiece until it is clear of the blade guard and it
falls off the rear of the table.
5. When performing bevel cross cutting, only work with
the workpiece and mitre gauge on the right side of
the saw blade.

BEVEL CROSSCUTING (FIG. U)
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except
the blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.
Always work to the right side of the blade during this
type of cut. The mitre gauge (3) must be in the right
side groove (2) because the bevel angle may cause
the blade guard to interfere with the cut if used on
the left side groove.
1. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten
the blade bevel lock knob.
2. Tighten mitre lock handle at 90°.
3. Hold workpiece firmly against the face of the mitre
gauge (3) throughout the cutting operation.
NOTE: When tilting the blade to 45°, the mitre gauge
handle will hit the blade guard.
