CUTTING OPERATIONS There are two basic types of cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping is cutting along the length and the grain of the workpiece. Crosscutting is cutting either across the width or across the grain of the workpiece. Neither ripping nor crosscutting may be done safely freehand. Ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the miter gauge. Never use the two cut the same time.
BEVEL RIPPING This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other than “0”. USING WOOD FACING ON THE MITER GAUGE (Fig. DD) Slots are provided in the miter gauge for attaching an auxiliary facing (1) to make it easier to cut very long or short pieces. Select a suitable piece of smooth wood, drill two holes through it and attach it the miter gauge face with screws. Make sure the facing does not interfere with the proper operation of the sawblade guard.
COMPOUND MITER CROSSCUTTING (FIG. FF) 0°~45° BLADE BE¥EL & 0°~45° MITER ANGLE This sawing operation is combining a miter angle with a bevel angle. USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. HH) When performing some special cutting operations, add a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2). A WARNING 1. Use a smooth straight 3/4 in. thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence. 2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screw (3) through the holes in the fence.
Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two “C” clamps.
