OPERATION
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING (FIG. 24)
0°–45° BLADE BEVEL and 90° MITER ANGLE
This cutting operation is the same as crosscutting except the
blade is at bevel angle other than 0°.
CAUTION
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. Adjust the blade (1) to the desired angle, and tighten the
blade bevel lock knob.
2. Tighten miter lock handle (3) at 90°.
3. Hold workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the miter gauge
throughout the cutting operation.
COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. 25)
0°–45° BLADE BEVEL and 0°–45° MITER ANGLE
This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a bevel
angle.
CAUTION
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. Set the miter gauge (3) to the desired angle.
2. Place the miter gauge in the right side groove of the table.
3. Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle and tight-
en the blade bevel lock knob.
4. Hold workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the miter gauge
throughout the cutting operation.
MITERING (FIG. 26) 0°–45° MITER ANGLE
This sawing operation is the same as crosscutting except the
miter 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 miter gauge (3) at the desired miter angle and lock

in position by tightening the miter gauge locking handle.
3. Hold the workpiece (2) firmly against the face of the miter
gauge throughout the cutting operation.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. 27)
When performing some special cutting operations, add a
wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2).
NOTE: Before using wood facing on the rip fence, make sure
the auxiliary fence is removed.
1. Use a smooth, straight 3/4 in. thick wood board (1) that is
as long as the rip fence.
2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screws (not
included) (3) through the hole in the fence. A wood 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.
