CROSSCUTTING
Crosscut- Acuttingor shaping operation made across
the width of the workpiece.
The graduations on the Miter Gauge provide accuracy
lor average woodworking. In some cases where ex-
treme accuracy is required, when makingangle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it with an
accurate square, or protractor.
If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveled
slightly tocompensate for any inaccuracy.
NOTE: The space betweenthe MiterGauge Bar andthe
groove inthetable isheld toa minimum dudng manufac-
turing.
For maximum accuracy when using the Miter Gauge,
always '1avor"one side of the groove in the table. In
other words, don't move the Miter Gauge from side to
side while cutting, but keep one side of the bar riding
against one side of the groove.
NOTE: Glue apiece of sandpaperto the face ofthe Miter
Gauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from
"creeping" while it is being cut.
The Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) should be
used on the Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.
The Miter Gauge may be used in either of the grooves in
._SANDPAPER
the table. Make sure it is locked.
WARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback,
hold the Miter Gauge properly.
When using the Miter Gauge inthe LEFT handgroove,
hold the workpiece firmly againstthe Miter Gauge head
with your left hand, and grip the lock handle with your
right.
When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the work-
piece with yourright hand andthe Lock Handle with your

When cutting long workpieces, invert Auxiliary Panel/
Work Support and position iton top of theGuide Bars to
support the workpiece as near tothe end as possible. If
thisdoes not adequately supportthe workpiece, youcan
make a simple support by clamping a piece of plywood
to a sawhorse. (See illustrationabove)
