piece) – Note: The work piece MUST be off
the facing block BEFORE it contacts the blade.
Crosscutting capacity 7 for these cuts is 6-1/4
inches with a 3/4 work piece or 5-1/2 inches
with a 1-1/2 work piece. If "Dry Run" is success-
ful, go to the next step.
5. Attach saw to power source, turn saw on, and
make the cut. Turn the saw off and remove the
cutoff piece 6 after the blade has stopped and
before cutting the next piece.
MITER CUTTING
MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an
angle other than 90° with the edge of the wood.
Follow the same procedure as you would for
crosscutting (Fig. 56).
Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and
lock it.
The miter gauge may be used in either of the
grooves in the table.
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand
groove, hold the work piece firmly against the mi-
ter gauge head with your left hand, and grip the
lock knob with your right hand.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the
work piece with your right hand and the lock knob
with your left hand.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as cross-
cutting except that the wood is also cut at a bevel
angle other than 0° with the flat side of the
wood (Fig. 57).
Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT
or the LEFT of the blade.

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination
1600A009XC 09-15.indb 34
of miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is
made at an angle other than 0° to both the edge
and the flat side of the wood (Fig. 57).
Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the de-
sired angle and make sure miter gauge is locked.

USING THE RIP FENCE

RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, CUTTING AND
RABBETING are performed using the RIP
FENCE together with the AUXILIARY FENCE
/ WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH
BLOCK.
For your own safety, always
observe the following safe-
ty precautions in addition to the safety in-
structions on Pages 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
1. Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without
using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when
required) because the blade could bind in the
cut and cause a KICKBACK.
2. Always lock the rip fence securely when in
use.
3. Remove miter gauge from table during any op-
erations which utilize the rip fence.
4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all
through-cutting type cuts. Replace the guard
IMMEDIATELY following completion of cut-
ting, rabbeting, dadoing or molding operations.
Frequently check the action of the ANTI-KICK-
BACK PAWLS by passing the work piece along-
side of the riving knife while saw is OFF. Pull
the work piece TOWARD you. If the PAWLS do
not DIG into the work piece and HOLD it, the
pawls must be REPLACED or SHARPENED.
(See "Maintenance" on Page 41).
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8" above
top of work piece. Additional blade exposure
increases the hazard potential.
