COMPOUND MITRE CROSSCUTTING (FIG. V)
This sawing operation is combining a mitre angle with a
bevel angle.
WARNING
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 because the bevel angle may
cause the blade guard to interfere with the cut
if used on the left side groove. When tilting the
workpiece to 45° and push it toward the blade, the
blade guard may hit the blade. To avoid injury, stop
the work at that time.
1. Set the mitre gauge (3) to the desired angle.
2. Place the mitre gauge (3) in the right side groove (2)
of the table.
3. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle
and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.
4. Hold workpiece firmly against the face of the mitre
gauge (3) throughout the cutting operation.
Fig. V
MITRE CUTS (FIG. W)
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except
the mitre gauge is locked at an angle other than 90°.
1. Set the blade (1) to 0° bevel angle and tighten the
blade bevel lock knob.
2. Set the mitre gauge (3) at the desired mitre angle
and lock in position by tightening the mitre gauge
locking handle.
3. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the
mitre gauge throughout the cutting operation.

A auxiliary fence should be used when ripping material
such as thin paneling to prevent the material from
catching between the bottom of the fence and the table.
When performimg some special cutting operations, you
can add a auxiliary fence (3) to the either side of the rip
fence (4).

in the rip fence.
3. Tighten the clamp handles.
USING AUXILIARY FENCE ON THE MITRE GAUGE
(FIG. Y)
When performimg some special cutting operations, you
can add a auxiliary fence (2) to the mitre gauge (1).
1. Place the square nuts (5) to the slot of the auxiliary
fence (2).
2. Attach the auxiliary fence to the mitre gauge with the
