-Basic Saw Operations (continued)
Repetitive Crosscutting
Repetitive cutting is known as cutting a quantity of pieces
the same length without having to mark each piece.
• When making repetitive cuts from a long workpiece,
make sure it is supported,
WARNING" Never' use the rip fence as a length stop I
because the cutoff piece could bind between the i
fence and the blade causing a kickback. J
1. When making repetitive cuts, clamp a block of wood 3"
long to the table at desired length to act as a length
stop,,
I WARNING: To avoid kickback from twisting the I
I workpiece, when clamping the block, make sure
l
I that the end of the block is well in front of the saw-
I blade. Be sure it is clamped securely.
2. Slide the workpiece along the miter gauge until it
touches tire btock.o.hold the workpiece securely
against the miter gauge,
3. Make the cut...tum the saw off_xemove the piece after
the blade has stopped and before cutting the next piece_
Miter Crosscutting
Miter' cutting is an angle cutting operation made across
the width of the workpieceo Follow the same procedure as
you would for crosscutting.
• Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lock it.
o The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves
in the table. Make sure it is locked,
• When using the miter gauge in the left hand groove,
hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head
with your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your
right hand.
oWhen using the miter gauge in the right hand groove,
hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock
knob with your' left hand.
Bevel Crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting except
that the wood is also cut at an angle.o.other than 90° with
the bottom flat side of the wood.
oAdjust the blade to the desired angle,
• Always use the miter gauge inthe groove to the right of
the blade. It cannot be used in the groove to the left
because the blade guard will intedere. Hold the work-
piece with your right hand and the lock knob with your
left hand
