USING THE WOOD FACING ON THE
MITER GAUGE (FIG. UU)
Slots are provided in the miter gauge
for attaching an auxiliary facing (1)
to make it easier to cut very long or
short pieces. Select a suitable piece of
smooth wood, drill two holes through
it and attach it to the miter gauge with
screws. Make sure the facing does not
interfere with the proper operation of
the saw blade guard. When cutting long
workpieces, you can make a simple
outfeed support by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse.

0°~45° BLADE BEVEL & 90° MITER

WARNING
!
Always work to the right side of the
blade during this type of cut. The
miter gauge 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.
1. Lower the blade to the down position.
2. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired
angle, and tighten the blade lock
knob.
3. Tighten the miter gauge lock
handle (2) at 90°.
4. Hold workpiece (3) firmly against the
face of the miter gauge throughout
the cutting operation.
