CROSSCUTTING
CROSSCUTTING is known as cutting wood across
the grain, at 90 ° , or square with both the edge and the flat
side of the wood° This is done with miter gauge set at "0'°..
The graduations on the miter gauge provide accuracy for
average woodworking In some cases where extreme
accuracy is required, when making angle 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
to compensate for any inacurracy,
NOTE: The space between the miter gauge bar and the
groove in the table is held to a minimum during
manufacturing.
For maximum accuracy when using the miter gauge, always
"favor" 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 a piece of sandpaper to the face of the 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,
SANDP
The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the
table. Make sure it is locked..
When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand groove, hold
the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with
your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right
When using the RIGHT Hand groove, hold the workpiece
with your right hand and the lock knob with your left
hand.
When cutting long workpieces, invert AUXILIARY
FENCE!WORK SUPPORT and position it on top of the
guide bars to support the workpiece as near to the end as
possible if this does not adequately support the workpiece,
you can make a simple support by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse.
Use the Hold-Down Clamp (Optional Accessory) on the
miter gauge for greater accuracy
REPETITIVE CUTTING
REPETITIVE CUTTING is known as cutting a quantity of
pieces the same length without having to mark each piece.
1o Use the Stop Rods (optional accessory) only for cutting
duplicate pieces 6 in. long and longer.
2. DO NOT FEED workpiece with RIGHT Hand. merely
guide it. making sure that it does not bind or pinch the
sawbtade
When making repetitive cuts from a tong workpiece, make
sure it is adequately supported.
