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.

workpiece into the blade.
 Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on the miter
gauge 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.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
