MITER CUTTING \
MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle
other than 90° with the edgeof the wood. Follow the same
procedure asyou would for crosscutting.
Adjust the miter gaugeto the desired angle, and lock it.
The miter gauge may be usedin either of the grooves in the
table.
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 handle with your right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the Iockhandle with your left
hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy.
BEVEL CROSSCUTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an angle.., other than
90° with the flat side of the wood.
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of the
blade. It cannot be used in the groove to the left because
the blade guard will interfere. Hold the workpiece with
your right hand and the Iockhandle with your left hand.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gaugefor greater accuracy.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of miter
cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at an angle
other than 90° to both the edge and the flat side of the
wood.
Adjust the miter gaugeand the blade to the desired angle..
• Make sure miter gaugeislocked.
USING THE RIP FENCE
RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, RESAWING AND
RABBETING are performed usingthe RIP FENCE together
with the AUXILIARY FENCE, PUSH STICK OR PUSH
BLOCK.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON
PAGES 2, 3, and 4.
1. Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without using the
rip fence or auxiliary devices when required) because
the blade could bind in the cut and cause a
KICKBACK.
2. Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.
3. Remove miter gaugefrom table.
4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all thru-sawing
type cuts. Replace the guard IMMEDIATELY following
completion of resawing, rabbeting, dadoing, or molding
operations.
Frequently check the action of the ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS by passing the workpiece alongside of the
spreader while saw isOFF.
Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. If the PAWLS do
not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it... the pawls
must be REPLACED. See "Maintenance" section.
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8 in. above top of
workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase
the hazard potential.
6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in caseof a
KICKBACK. Stand to either side of the blade.
7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade.
8. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade.
0. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut.., to support long or heavy
workpieces . . . to remove small cut-off pieces of
material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back
at you by the rear of the blade.
11. Do not remove small piecesof cut-off material that may
become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw
is RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR
HANDS or causea KICKBACK.
Turn the saw OFF. After the blade hasstopped turning,
lift the guard and remove the piece.
