OPERATION
During use the miter gauge may move slightly left or right
inside the miter gauge groove. For greater accuracy, press
the miter gauge against the left or right edge of the miter
gauge groove when making cuts. Do not allow the gauge to
go from one side to the other.
Always place the workpiece against the face of the miter
gauge body when making cuts. To prevent the workpiece
from moving, you can attach a piece of sandpaper to the
miter gauge body face.
NOTE: It is recommended that you place the piece to be
saved on the same side of the blade as the miter gauge, and
that you make a test cut on scrap wood first.
MAKING A CROSS CUT
See Figures 52 - 54.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed
and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Using the rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross
cutting will result in kickback which can cause
serious personal injury.
 Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.
 Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
 Set the miter gauge to 0° and tighten the lock knob.
 Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
 Press the top button on the switch to turn the saw on.
NOTE: The switch cover does not have to be raised to
operate the switch.
 Press the bottom button on the switch to turn the saw
off.
NOTE: To prevent unauthorized use, install a padlock
(not included) through the holes in the switch and cover
as shown in figure 53.
 Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
 Hold the workpiece firmly and feed the workpiece into
the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be placed
on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from
the blade should be placed on the workpiece.
