BEVEL CROSSCUTTING
BEVEL CROSSCUTTI NG is the same as crosscutting
except that the wood is also cut at an ang{e,, • 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. _t cannot be used in the groove to the
LEFT because the blade guard wilm interfere. Hold
the workpiece with your right hand and the lock-
handle with your left hand.
Use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT for
additional support of the workpiece_
Lay it across the guide bars to support the workpiece
as near to the end as possible.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on
the miter gauge for greater accuracy.
COMPOUND MITER CUTTmNG
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 gauge and the blade to the desired
angle... Make sure miter gauge is locked.
USING THE RiP FENCE
RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, PLOUGHING, MOLDING,
RESAWING AND RABBETTING are performed using
the RIP FENCE together with the AUXILIARY FENCE/
WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAU-
TIONS iN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS ON PAGES 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 26, 27, AND 28.
ADDiTiONAL SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
FOR RiP TYPE CUTS
- NEVER use the miter gauge when ripping.
- Use a push stick whenever the fence is 2 to 6
inches from the blade. Use an auxitiary fence and
push block whenever the fence must be within 2
inches of the blade. (See "Basic Saw Operation
Using The Rip Fence" section.)
-When using a push stick or push block the
trailing end of the board must be square. A push
stick or block against an uneven end could slip
off or push the work away from the fence.
- Never rip anything shorter than !0" long.
- A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the work-
piece.

Before starting
-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade,
make su re the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade.
- Check the antikickback pawls. (See BASIC SAW
OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE.) The
pawls must stop a kickback once it has started.
Replace or sharpen antikickback pawls when
points become dull.
-Plastic and composition (ike hardboard)
materials may be cut on your saw. However,
since these are usually quite hard and slippery,
the antikickback pawls may not stop a kickback.
Therefore, be especially careful in your set-up
and cutting procedures.
While cutting
-To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade.
a!ways push forward on the section of the work-
piece between the saw blade and the rip fence.
Never push forward on the piece beinq cut off.
