Using The Miter Gauge - skilsaw SPT99 Consignes D'utilisation/De Sécurité

USING THE MITER GAUGE

CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL
CUTTING, COM POUND MITER CUTTING and
when RABBETING across the end of a narrow
workpiece, the MITER GAUGE is used.
For your own safety, always
observe the following safety
precautions, in addition to the safety instruc-
tions in General Safety Rules, Safety Instruc-
tions for Table Saws, and Additional Safety
Rules.
Never make these cuts freehand (without using
the miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) be-
cause the blade could bind in the cut and
cause a KICKBACK or cause your fingers or
hand to slip into the blade.
Always lock the miter gauge securely when in use.
Remove the rip fence from table during any op-
erations that utilize the miter gauge.
When cross cutting with the blade set at 90º or
45º to the table, the miter gauge can be used in
either slot on the table. When cross cutting and
the blade is tilted, use the slot on right side of
table where the blade is tilted away from your
hands and miter gauge.
To adjust the miter angle:
Loosen lock knob and set the miter gauge body so
that the pointer is at desired angle, then tighten
lock knob (Fig. 53).
MITER GAUGE AUXILIARY FACING
The SPT99 miter gauge is designed to accept
an Auxiliary Facing with pre-molded holes for
fastening a suitable piece of smooth straight
wood. Utilize the miter gauge as a template, to
attach with proper fasteners (Fig. 54).
Example:
A. Drill 5/32" dia. holes through a board 3/4" thick,
3" high, and desired length.
B. Attach with two No. 12 round head wood
screws 1-1/2" long, not included (Fig. 54).
Be sure that the screws never protrude above the
outside surface of facing.
Be sure the facing does not interfere with the
proper operation of the saw blade guard.
NOTE: When bevel crosscutting, attach the facing
so that it extends to the right of the miter gauge
and use the miter gauge in the groove to the right
of the blade.
