C. Slide the workpiece 4 along the miter
gauge 5 until it touches the facing block
3. Hold workpiece securely.
D. Make a "Dry Run" (practice) – with the
saw unplugged, move the miter gauge
and workpiece along the facing block
until it touches the idle blade (blade is
set 1/4 inch higher than workpiece) –
Note: The workpiece MUST be off the
facing block BEFORE it contacts the
blade. Crosscutting capacity 7 for these
cuts is 6-1/4 inches with a 3/4 work-
piece or 5-1/2 inches with a 1-1/2 work-
piece. If "Dry Run" is successful, go to
the next step.
E. Attach saw to power source, turn saw
on, and make the cut. Turn the saw off
and remove the cutoff piece 6 after the
blade has stopped and before cutting
the next piece.

▼ MITER CUTTING

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at
an angle other than 90° with the edge of the
wood. Follow the same procedure as you
would for crosscutting (Fig. 58).
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle,
and lock it.
The miter gauge may be used in 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 knob with your right hand.
When using 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 cross-
cutting ex cept that the wood is also cut at a
bevel angle (Fig. 59) ... 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 or the LEFT of the blade.

▼ COMpOUND MITER CUTTING

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combina-
tion of miter cutting and bevel crosscutting.

both the edge and the flat side of the wood
(Fig. 59).
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the
desired angle and make sure miter gauge is
locked.
