CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUT-
TING, COM POUND MITER CUTTING and when
RABBETING across the end of a narrow workpiece,
the MITER GAUGE is used.
For your own safety, always ob-
serve the following safety precau-
tions in addition to the safety instructions on Pages
2, 3, 4 & 5.
Never make these cuts freehand (without using the
miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the
blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK
or cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade.
Always lock the miter gauge securely when in use.
Remove rip fence from table during any operations
which utilize the miter gauge.
The miter includes a “T” groove disk for easy in-
sertion into table groove and quicker removal from
the table (Fig 42).
When cross cutting and the blade set at 90º or 45º
to the table, the miter gauge can be used in either
slot on the table. When cross cutting and the blade
is tilted, use slot on right side of table where the
blade is tilted away from your hands and miter
gauge.

that it extends to the right of the miter gauge and use
the miter gauge in the groove to the right of the
