9. Cross-Cutting:

Cross-cutting or cutting perpendicular to the grain of the workpiece, is performed using the miter gauge. To

lessen the risk of kickback, the rip fence should be removed or positioned so that it does not contact the

workpiece during cross-cutting.

To begin, make sure the motor

is off and the blade is completely

stopped. Tilt the blade to the

desired tilt angle and adjust the

blade elevation to about

8 inch

above the workpiece. Place the

miter gauge in the right miter

slot for bevel cuts, or in either

the right or left miter slots for

making non-bevel cuts. Adjust

the miter gauge to the desired

miter angle (see page 36).

Position the workpiece against

the miter gauge head and

slowly push the miter gauge

toward the non-spinning blade

until the workpiece is almost

touching the blade. Next, slide

the workpiece to the left or right

until the blade is aligned with

the point on the workpiece to

be cut. Pull the miter gauge and

workpiece back away from the

blade before starting the motor.

Holding the miter gauge and

workpiece rmly, move the miter

gauge and workpiece slowly

and smoothly past the blade.

See page 35 for additional

instructions on the use of the

miter gauge.

WARNING! To reduce the potential for kickback and a serious injury,

move the rip fence out of contact with the workpiece when cross-cutting to

prevent the workpiece from binding between the rip fence and the blade.
